Unfortunatly, i havent mastered Osmosis yet. :( ... Nor postGIS I was more thinking of visually looking at the .osm file in JOSM and selecting the 'clusers' of data, like the biggest city and Copy/paste/delete into a new smaller OSM file, so then you would have a file of just the city, and the other of everything but the City.
This way, if there are members who are from a particular town, they can choose to only select that area and leave the rest. (We will be using this method for the Sidney Mapping party in 2 weeks) I dont know if this method works in practice though :-/ cheers, Sam On 1/11/10, Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason <[email protected]> wrote: > On Mon, Jan 11, 2010 at 11:48, Sam Vekemans > <[email protected]> wrote: >> As long as that person uses a dedicated account, and takes full >> responsibility, its cool. > > It'll be uploaded under the "ourFootPrints import" account. > >> 1: add the 'source=ourFootPrints.de' tag to it all > > I'll be adding lots of source metadata both on the changeset and on > the objects themselves. > >> 2: slice up the OSM file to bite sized geographical pieces ie.
