The link to aforementioned town hall is
https://hangouts.google.com/hangouts/_/ytl/uPZURIesvR9wyd9kdy0GecrrvdN9TWnwCrxM4sOseRg=

that is if you want to actively participate. If you just want to follow
along, you can go on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ws8dAcBLzSY where
it will be broadcast live.

I will send a reminder shortly before the event.

[Talk-us] Elections coming up!

[Martijn van Exel]

Hi all,

The current board (Alyssa Wright, Drishtie Patel, Alex Barth, Ian Dees and
me, Martijn van Exel) is about to end its term, and elections are called
for! These will happen in the second half of November.

You should consider becoming a candidate! Anyone who is a member of the US
chapter can be a board member as well. If you would like to know more about
our work as a board and what is involved in the board work, join our town
hall on November 7 at 8pm Eastern time / 7pm central time / 6pm Mountain
time / 5pm Pacific time / 2pm Hawaii time. A link and more info will follow
shortly!

If you are already sure you will be a candidate (yay!) you can add your
name to the wiki:
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Foundation/Local_Chapters/United_States/Elections/2016.
You should also come up with a position statement, which does not have to
be long but it should convince the membership that they should vote for you!

Only members can vote and be a candidate, if you want to become a member,
please head over to https://openstreetmap.us/join/ and sign up now. Thanks!
If you don't know if you are a member, email us at
members...@openstreetmap.us and we will find out for you.

We all hope you will participate in this election!

Martijn & the OSM US board.

I think you misunderstood my purpose. I was not contacting OSM to complain
about illegal signs. I was responding to the original poster and urging
caution about relying on signs. At least in my jurisdiction, official
databases seem to me to be more reliable than signage regarding property
rights.

Perhaps there are parts of the world in which official databases are
incomplete, outdated, or nonexistent, in which case mappers could adapt to
local conditions as best as possible.

Re: [Talk-us] Rail rendering support in our wiki?

As I also make USA rail contributions, is there any way that our wiki might allow similar 
"layer=rail" syntax to display OpenRailwayMap (.org), for example to display an 
appropriate rendering at the top of our California/Railroads wiki page?


The  tag comes from the Simple Image MediaWiki extension. [1] 
You can specify layer="transport" to get the same rail- and bus-focused 
style as the Transport layer on osm.org. (Incidentally, layer="cycle" 
also works.)


The extension's source code is on GitHub, if anyone is interested in 
improving it. [2] However, at this point, it sure would be nice to be 
able to use the Kartographer extension's slippy maps instead. [3][4]
