[Talk-us] Southern California mappers plan to map island

Hey gang, We're having our own little Isle of Wight on Santa Catalina Island later this month. Right now we have 32 folks saying they'll attend a weekend mapping/Mapillary adventure to the island which is about an hour's ferry ride from Los Angeles. I expect closer to 20 will actually go.

Mike and all, Great questions! I'll let Blake answer the other question, but I figured I could chime in on the first, since I was about to message the group anyway. We've got another series of tasks [1] to improve roads near the Blue Cut fire [2], which has caused the evacuation of more than

Re: [Talk-us] [Imports] Kansas City addresses from maps.kcmo.org

Hi, I'm kind of curious about this. Why not import those property lines? I'm not arguing for them, because it seems like a lot of work. But I note that in cities such as Fresno, they are in the map as landuse=residential. What if we add all the buildings, all the trees, every bench? Why not

[Talk-us] Way to message a bunch of users at once?

Hi all, Is there a way to email multiple users at once? Prior to each local event I copy/paste a markdown file into openstreetmap.org over and over again to contact local mappers. It would save me so much time to email them all at once. Is there anyway to do that? Or does anyone have tips for

[Talk-us] What should we do for wildfires?

The Erskine Fire [1] has burned more than 46,000 acres and killed two. It destroyed 200 structures. The perimeter of the fire is huge.  What's the right response from OpenStreetMap? Should we go in and check roads? Add buildings? What if they've been destroyed? Addresses? Shelters? Other

[Talk-us] Join us for another import party at the L.A. Times June 25

Hi all, The Los Angeles Times will host another import party to push the "Great L.A. County Import" forward. We've imported more than half a million buildings with the great help of locals and the folks from Mapbox.  My focus is to use this import strengthen the Southern California OSM
