Статистика по зданиям, Санкт-Петербург

2013-05-25T19:12:17+00:00

Свежая статистика по прорисовке зданий в Санкт-Петербурге: http://img-fotki.yandex.ru/get/9315/51351719.0/0_8c6d3_d0f2b53e_orig По сравнению с предыдущей версией, добавил все города-спутники (в списке расположены с северо-запада по часовой стрелке от центра СПб).

Также стоит упомянуть, что число зданий в мире с отмеченной типовой серией (design:ref=*) наконец перевалило за 10000. Более 80% от этого числа - в Петербурге и Ленинградской области.

Русский тагинфо

2013-05-25T09:32:15+00:00

AMDmi3 и akks подняли на серверах Рамблера статистику тегов Taginfo для России и некоторых соседей. Теперь импорты (которых у нас не так много, как за рубежом) не будут портить таблицы. Отчёты сервиса показывают национальные особенности тегирования:

Россия: кладротеги висят на двухстах тысячах объектов (включая 30 тысяч точек, зачем-то); residential=rural вчетверо больше urban; префикс «ru:» в official_status не приживается; широко распространён загадочный тег utilization: похоже, его расставляет плагин для копирования адресов из кадастровой карты. Кому-то в Ростове-на-Дону удалось добавить тег с пустым ключом. Три самых популярных значения name, которые не названия улиц: «Сбербанк», «Продукты» и «Магнит».
Украина: половина тегов name продублирована на русском и английском языках; отношений street и associatedStreet втрое больше, чем в России, а addr:street непопулярен; много зданий и дорог импортированы из nadoloni.com; двум третям населённых пунктов проставлен код КОАТУУ, при этом village в 11 раз больше hamlet. Три популярных name: «Тополь», «Липа» и «Стохід» (это странно обрисованная речка).
Беларусь: две трети названий переведены на русский; 17% дорог имеют тег surface (это рекорд; в России — только 12%); place=hamlet встречается чаще, чем любое значение тега highway, и почти у всех населённых пунктов есть контур. Три популярных name: «Беларусбанк», «д.№» (?), «Шиномонтаж».
Эстония: семь самых популярных ключей связаны с недавним импортом домиков; вообще очень много следов разных импортов (адреса, некоторые города, корина), второе место среди тегов занимает загадочный «Type=0x13» (да, с заглавной буквы). Популярные недорожные name не установить, поскольку в стране не принято писать статусные части улиц: «Kooli» может означать как школу, так и школьную улицу.

В планах — перевести все адреса на поддомен taginfo.openstreetmap.ru, улучшить обрезку стран, сделать крупные обзорные карты и подкрутить разные константы: taginfo, явно, писался с прицелом на всю планету, и при загрузке небольшой её части вылезли недостатки.

Bus Routes and variants

2013-05-25T06:20:01+00:00

Thank you, xeen, for the information on using relations for bus routes. I just wish that all this stuff was in one place.

It appears that I have to do each variant of a bus route as a separate relation. This seems very cumbersome: one of the routes here has six different opt-outs (same spine of route, but serves different roads/villages/estates at different times of the day) and all of them are possible. Each trip seems to be different; am I really expected to create 64 separate relations (albeit grouped together under route_master) ?

Am I supposed to create a separate relation for a route whose "opposite direction" is a simple reversal of the "forward direction" ? What if the "reverse" route differs only by the path it takes round a roundabout ?

Saipan data is in a sad state

2013-05-25T04:50:37+00:00

I've noticed that while the data for Guam is generally pretty good, the data for Saipan is in a pretty sad state. In particular, the streets are distorted, and up to 60 meter off from their true location. You can see this by loading the streets on a Bing or other satellite image. This is starting to create problems for folks using GPS and other tools that use OpenStreetMap as a base source.

Most of this appears to be due to bad TIGER data during the 2008 import. Back in the bad old days, Saipan and the rest of the CNMI used a variety of old datums and projections, some of which weren't clearly documented. The TIGER data was on one of these, as was a lot of our old data from USGS, and the roads and related data are offset and distorted as a result. Even Google Earth uses bad old data.

My goal over the next six months is to replace all the distorted road data with TIGER 2012 data, or with equivalent data sourced directly from the government of the CNMI (i.e. Saipan). I'm frequently on Saipan and have worked with their data and analysts, so am confident that I can make this work.

Most of the TIGER data for Saipan is unreviewed and unedited, so doing a batch replace will have limited impact on existing users' work. A similar project was done for parts of Alaska by pnorman.

Things to do: 1. Update shoreline with NOAA data 2. Update shoreline with 2013 imagery to reflect ongoing erosion 3. Locate appropriate data 4. Figure out the scope of the problem (e.g. only roads, all TIGER linework, GNIS?) 5. Make sure folks in the area/community are on-board. 6. Prioritize fixes (probably start w/ roads, as that's most annoying to me) 7. Start implementing fixes by priority 8. On-the-ground GPS work to check fixes 9. Invite other folks to review

總統府與中山堂附近的clothes (shop)

2013-05-25T03:50:30+00:00

昨天晚上跟supaplex在國家圖書館碰面，晚上在中正紀念堂旁的巧虎麵館吃晚餐後，跑去了國軍英雄館裡頭的義美食品買了順口沁涼的冰淇淋。順道在台北的老城區也就是中山堂附近畫了幾家店。忽然發覺台灣的服飾店其實還蠻多種的：訂製西服、訂製學校制服、以及量販店，不過這些可能就和書店沒有分獨立書店以及連鎖書店一樣，難以在osm標上不同的tag吧。

New York City Public Transport Routes

2013-05-25T02:21:47+00:00

One of my side projects for OpenStreetMap mapping is the mapping of public transport routes in the New York region. This consists of New York City Subways (Map), Manhattan Bus Routes (Map), several Queens Bus Routes (Map) and Staten Island Bus Routes (Map). You can now view most local bus routes on the transport map and quickly locate nearby routes without navigation the maze of most local transit authorities websites.

I must also congratulate Xoan Manuel on his work on most of the Queens Bus Routes and Brooklyn Bus Routes (See Map).

The remaining items on the lists are several cross-town services, Bronx services and transportation on the New Jersey side. On a side note, an alternative rendering of the public transport map can be found at OpenPTMap, where subway lines are also rendered properly.

Golem.de - Antifeatures: Freie Software gegen Bevormundung

Einige Hard- und Softwarehersteller betreiben enormen Aufwand, um Funktionen auf ihren Geräten einzuschränken. MIT-Forscher Benjamin Mako Hill bezeichnet diese als "Antifeatures" - und sieht freie Software als Möglichkeit, sie einzudämmen.

Proyecto: Aldemayor de San Martín

2013-05-24T12:27:38+00:00

Poco a poco voy dibujando las calles de Aldeamayor de San Martín, en Valladolid, y sus urbanizaciones.

Al principio fue la Urbanización Aldemayor Golf, que no existía en el mapa. Poco a poco he señalado las calles de esta urbanización y algunas zonas especiales, como parques, piscinas, gasolinera, etc. Aun queda algún detalle y muchos edificios por dibujar.

También he dibujado y renombrado calles y edificios en el pueblo, Aldeamayor de San Martín. Como antes, quedan detalles.

*Cosas por hacer: Polígono el Brizo y Urbanización el Soto.

*Cosas por confirmar: Sentido del tráfico en algunas calles.

*Cosas que a lo mejor hago algún día: Caminos de tierra (que hay muchos) para pasear en bicicleta.

Before & After of the Moore, OK Tornado

2013-05-24T04:00:00+00:00

Thanks to open aerial imagery provided by the U.S. Government and our MapBox.js javascript library, we can now see -- in stunning high resolution -- the impact of Monday's tornado on the city of Moore, Oklahoma.

Using the latest aerial photography captured by the Department of Homeland Security in support of the Moore Tornado recovery and response efforts, and released with an open license, and our MapBox Satellite global mosaic baselayer, with aerial photography down to zoom level 19, we created a before and after map revealing the impact of the Moore Tornado.

SOTM Baltics 2013: 3-4 August, Tartu, Estonia

2013-05-23T19:46:55+00:00

Good news for those missing SOTM in Birmingham or living close to Baltic Sea.

For the first time ever mappers, developers and users of OpenStreetMap from Baltic States, Russia and Finland will come together to exchange knowledge, strenghten local communities and break the language barrier. Mappers from other countries are also we

State of the Map Baltics conference will be held this year on the 3-4 of August in Tartu, Estonia.

Early Bird Registration for the SOTM Baltics is open: http://sotm-baltics.org

Le réseau TAG, c'est fini :'(

2013-05-23T18:43:34+00:00

Non, la ville n'est pas dépourvue de transport en commun à présent. Au contraire : J'ai fini de le représenter (bon, oui, j'ai pas mis les déviations en cours des 23 et 26 "jusqu'à nouvel ordre", et le 1er juillet prochain, la 17 et les ise seront déviées entre Foch-Férrié et Alliés-Anatole France...). Aussi, j'ai représenté TOUTES les lignes de TC routier passant pas Grenoble (hors les Eurolines, je n'ai pas assez d'infos dessus, et les TER de remplacement/TER étudiants)

Je me lance donc dans une autre entreprise de TC : les TER Rhone-Alpes. Je Commence par "mettre à niveau" les voies : représentation de chaque voie par une ligne, et représentation des Gares avec les schéma "public transport". Avec un peu de chance, ça va me prendre jusqu'à Décembre prochain, comme ça, je pourrais représenter le Sillon Alpin actuellement en travaux =D. En parallèle, je continue un peu les Transisère (passage des Express et 6020/6070 en "route_master" + arrêt en "public transport schéma", représentation d'autres lignes) peut être aussi pour les Réseaux du Grésivaudan et du Voironnais.

Aussi, je vais continuer à avancer sur les TC du Mont Blanc (cet été, j'essayerai de contacter la SAT Mont-Blanc, ou le CG38, afin d'avoir des infos fiables et précises sur les arrêts)

前幾天進去了台北市立第二殯儀館

2013-05-23T15:52:42+00:00

我的外公外婆這幾年相繼去世，都是八九十歲的高壽辭世。而正好兩老也在台北有個靈骨塔位，所以最後都是在市立殯儀館裡頭火葬的。於是對這個平常沒什麼機會來的地方，居然也慢慢熟悉了起來。第一次到二殯的時候，印象深刻的是它家屬等待區的冷氣開的好強，儘管沒什麼人但是就是很冷很冷，看了一下週遭的介紹才知道這是用火力發電，所以這邊的冷氣的電都是焚化爐所提供的...

今天也是第一次使用新上線的iD編輯器畫圖，又漂亮又順手啊這玩意。不過也因為用了編輯器中的building:levels的key，有點搞不太清楚到底是level 0是第一層樓（平地）還是level 1是第一層樓。

Mapping Municipal School Complexes in Mumbai

2013-05-23T15:45:16+00:00

It has been quite fascinating to study these huge municipal school complexes that we have in Mumbai. One of these complexes house more than one school. This means, one school name does not equal multiple school buildings. They're perhaps housed on multiple floors. The schools interested me because my bus stand in Powai is in front of one and I see this school at Passpoli, Powai quite often. This forced me to look for school complexes in my locality.

These schools also have a powerful impact on their locality by the presence of a huge ground surrounding them. At the pace of development Mumbai is undergoing, these schools may very well be in danger. Reducing funding for these schools which leads to higher dropout and lower quality of education delivered may lead to Government re-think of the need for maintaining these structures at all.

Many of them are in a dilapidated condition. There are efforts by corporates and non-profits to work with these schools. Some of them are improving through such efforts but there is not enough good news about them in the media today.

As the affordability of schools is becoming a question today, I hope we save these municipal schools for long enough because we never know the day when we might have to send our children to these schools because no other school is affordable. The rising inequality in our society means that day may not be that far away.

größere Gemeinden aus OSM-Daten freistellen

2013-05-23T06:40:52+00:00

meistens mappt man Gebietsbezogen, auch für praktische Anwendungen wäre es manchmal gut, OSM-Daten auf eine Gemeinde herunterzubrechen und nur diese in einer Datei für JOSM oder andere Anwendungen zu haben, um damit arbeiten zu können.

Ich hatte den Gedanken, mittels XSLT einzelne Gemeinden aus größeren OSM Downloads zu extrahieren, um in einem Rutsch an den benötigten OSM-Satz zu kommen (für den Download von der OSM Webseite sind die Datenmengen der Gemeinden, vor allem wenn es sich um Städte handelt mittlerweile meist zu groß).

Nach einem genaueren Blick auf das OSM File für Niederbayern habe ich die Idee aber wegen Ineffizienz wieder verworfen. Besser wäre es wohl, einen eigenen Datenbankserver aufzusetzen und dann das Gebiet mittels SQL rauszuziehen. Aber der Installations- und Administrationsaufwand schreckt mich im Moment noch ab....

Capturing the Impact of the Oklahoma Tornado

2013-05-23T04:00:00+00:00

We’ve partnered with USA Today to visualize the impact of Monday’s tornado in Oklahoma. The Civil Air Patrol conducted flyovers, capturing aerial images immediately after the storm. The images captured were different from traditional vertical aerial photography and weren’t fully georeferenced, meaning creating a mosaic basemap wasn’t feasible.

Instead, we took a different approach to navigating the rapid response imagery – the images, previously only available piecemeal on the USGS HDDS website, are displayed on the map as markers. The markers track the Civil Air Patrol flightpath, and specific markers represent the location of the camera as it captured the image, rather than the location of the image itself.

To give context to the power of this most recent tornado, we layered in previous tornado tracks using data provided by Weather Decision Technologies. The 1999 Bridge Creek-Moore Tornado and the 2003 Moore Tornado can both be toggled on for comparison. The colors in the tornado tracks represent the Enhanced Fujita Scale, also known as EF-Scale, which is an indicator of tornado intensity.

The basemap uses our MapBox Satellite layer, including aerial photography captured by Digital Globe.

The map was built in just a few hours using MapBox.js and the Leaflet.markercluster plugin. See the map live at USA Today.

Adding a turn restriction in vespucci

2013-05-22T23:50:21+00:00

I've added support for adding turn restrictions in the branch of vespucci I've been working on, nothing fancy and rather straight forward.

Select the "from" way

Select "Add restriction" from the drop down menu

Add the "via" and the "to" elements:

Then set the restriction type and you are finished:

OpenStreetMap Colorado

2013-05-22T23:12:09+00:00

For those of you in Colorado, or passing through, or just interested; our local community is fantastic! No doubt there was a bit of momentum loss when the Coast's moved to the PNW, and I was totally swamped last summer with our terrible fire season; but we managed to keep rumbling along. JimmyRocks moving here gave a nice boost and we had a great group show up for the Spring Editathon, quite a few new faces have begun to appear including folks from the NPS - can't wait to hear Mamata's talk at SOTM-US - I hope they're contemplating our idea of mapping parties at national parks - let us in free and we'll map ;) - and all the sudden it seems we've got all these great ideas for meetups beyond the norm; we're going to have a SOTM-Denver (basically a recap for those who can't make it to San Fran) and what I'm really excited about, a Map/Camp-ing party later in the summer/fall. Oh, and it was a small but awesome meetup last weekend; the first event with the Coast's back in town, welcome home Hurricane!

We'd love to see more faces, so don't hesitate to join or even if you just want to see what we're up to, visit: http://www.meetup.com/OSM-Colorado/

Cheers - hope to see/meet you at SOTM-US or a Colorado mapping event, =Russ

P.S. Any Utah folks want to help plan a (probably very future) Moab Map/Camp-ing party? I love that place and it's been too long since I visited.

La Citadelle de Bitche

2013-05-22T22:15:45+00:00

The summer quickly was over. Since last (pentecost) sunday temperatures of about 12°C, wind and rain are back. Fortunately I still had a joker for such conditions on stock – a visit of the »Citadelle de Bitche« (official french and german pages, french and german wikipedia articles).

The fortification is based on a natural plateau of sand stone. Most buildings on its top have been destroyed during ww2 except for the basement or foundation walls.

However, many facilities are below the plateau’s level. They have been restored so that the visitors get an impression what it looked like about 145 years ago during the Franco-Prussian war (pictures can be found here and here).

Some mapping did already exist, but mainly as a rough sketch. I tried to improve the situation so that OpenStreetMap now shows more details.

Week of May 20-26

2013-05-22T13:43:54+00:00

Updated attribute data for Modesto City-County Airport, near Modesto, California. I used to fly in and out of there in the 1990s. Great municipal airport.

Changed attribute data from Pope Air Force Base to Pope Army Airfield on Ft Bragg, North Carolina. The change happened back in 2010 and is now documented on the FAA Airfield Diagram. Also added missing geometry for Pope Army Airfield. Added the locations for Sicily, Normandy, Salerno, and Holland Drop Zones and Sicily, Falcon, and Holland Landing Zones at Ft Bragg, North Carolina. I flew C-130s at Pope AFB from 1983-1989.

Added Sandhills Community College geometry and attributes and Moore County Airport, both near Pinehurst, North Carolina.

New Lower Thames Crossing

2013-05-22T09:17:53+00:00

Yesterday the UK government published a consultation on options for a new Thames Crossing close to where I live. The web page is here: https://www.gov.uk/government/consultations/options-for-a-new-lower-thames-crossing

Of course, I made straight for the map of the possible routes - all very broad-brush at the moment. What surprised me most was that, despite owning its own mapping agency the Ordnance Survey, the government has used an OSM Mapnik rendering for its base map! Maybe this is a regular occurrence, but it's a first for me.

Jetzt hab ich begonnen meine OSM-Karriere zu intensivieren. ;)

Nun ist der Tag 3 zuende. St.Marien ist mal soweit ansehnlich. Als nächstes hab ich mir Steyr vorgenommen. Ortskenntnis ist soweit vorhanden. Es muss endlich Schluss sein, dass mich Skobbler in der Einbahnstraße gegen die Fahrtrichtung zurück lotst.

The early-bird

2013-05-21T22:11:00+00:00

There's just ten days left in May, and therefore only ten days left to grab yourself a conference ticket at the reduced “Early-bird” price of GBP 60 for a Community ticket, and GBP 240 for a Regular ticket.

To get a Community ticket, you will need a OpenStreetMap.org username as this will appear on the ticket. If you don't have an OSM username, or you will be representing a business or organisation you should go for the Regular ticket. Community members are of course free to give extra support to OpenStreetMap by selecting the regular price, in which case you will be able to choose how your name appears on your badge.

All proceeds go to the OpenStreetMap Foundation (OSMF). Early-bird prices include a 25% discount so act now and don't miss out.

Last chance to get an “Early-Bird” ticket.

Пора платить по счетам

2013-05-21T20:35:10+00:00

В навигаторе для андроида OsmAnd строить маршрут можно несколькими алгоритмами. Внутренний только развивается и ограничен 300 километрами, для более длинных поездок нужен интернет. Из нескольких сервисов только Cloudmade выдавал маршрут с указаниями, где поворачивать и сколько ехать. Месяц назад пользователи заметили, что такого варианта больше нет.

После февральского перерождения Cloudmade разослал всем клиентам письма, где сообщал об упрощении тарифов на платные услуги. Виктор со своего аккаунта использовал только бесплатный роутинг, поэтому письмо проигнорировал. Удивлению не было предела, когда 12 апреля аккаунт-менеджер попросила оплатить услуги роутинга за март, полсотни долларов.

Объяснение ситуации таково: «Как видите, у нас нет платных и бесплатных тарифных планов. Мы решили сделать общие тарифы для всех разработчиков. Превысили ограничение на бесплатные запросы — оплатите излишек.» Что за дела, продолжал удивляться Виктор, разве можно заставить пользователя платить, не перезаключая соглашения и без предупреждения? На всякий случай он полностью удалил свой аккаунт. Менеджера это не убедило: «Вы превысили лимит в марте, поэтому пожалуйста, занесите в кассу».

Абсурдность требований очевидна, если представить их исходящими от другой компании. Например, Google разошлёт всем уведомление, что для корпоративных пользователей поиск стал дешевле, а через два месяца выкатит вам счёт за поисковые запросы, потому что теперь все пользователи стали корпоративными. Как отвечать на такое — непонятно, и автор OsmAnd решил замолчать. Cloudmade не давил, вот только 10 мая Виктору пришёл очередной счёт: к мартовскому долгу прибавились запросы за апрель. «Обратите внимание, оплатить счёт нужно в течение 10 дней». Срок истёк вчера, и пока непонятно, чего ожидать от украинцев.

Это не единственное злоключение османда. В прошлом месяце его выпилили из Google Play за нарушение DMCA. Из проекта вышел дизайнер интерфейса, который через некоторое время оказался неудовлетворён своей долей от продаж и подал иск в Google. Стороны как-то договорились, но приложение вернулось в магазин только спустя две недели, уже с новой графикой. Именно поэтому буква «О» у него пожелтела. В последней версии 1.2.1 буква превратилась в оранжевый маркер, но из-за проблем с совместимостью вы могли этого не заметить (на своём планшете, например, я обновить OsmAnd не могу).

Из положительный новостей — Google теперь позволяет участвовать в бета-тестировании приложений. Инструкция для OsmAnd здесь (но у меня гугль пишет ошибку 404). Сейчас там должна быть версия 1.3, целиком из багфиксов (в комментариях Виктор сообщил, что она сегодня вышла, и перечислил нововведения). Значительные же правки пойдут в OsmAnd 1.5, который пока нужно устанавливать вручную. Помимо прочего, в нём заметно поменяется интерфейс навигации.

What I have worked on

2013-05-21T15:46:07+00:00

-Lowry Park Zoo Tampa, FL - Took GPS tracks of trails and other features in the zoo & the park. A few others have modified and added to my work to make this area really accurate and useful.

-Al Lopez Park - Tampa FL - Took GPS tracks of trails and features. Also add the pavilion / shelter numbers. This map is much more useful than the city maps. Someone could potentially make a great app for one of the cancer walks, or other events they have in the park using this data.

-Other parks in Tampa - McFarland & the Downtown park where the Bro Bowl is.

-Water Features - this is my my largest contribution to the OSM community. From a cartographic perspective, adding more blue onto basemaps makes them look better. I have experimented with several options, and it appears the best way to do this is to start with the SWFWMD LU data and select out the FLUCFCS codes that are water. Then bring this shape into OSM and make them permanent. If anyone would like to help with this enormous undertaking hit me up and I will help get you started. I can provide a zip file of the selected LU. I also plan on doing wetlands.

Headed to San Francisco for State of the Map US

2013-05-21T04:00:00+00:00

In a little over two weeks many folks on the MapBox team will head to San Francisco for the annual US-based OpenStreetMap conference. We’re gearing up for an interesting and productive trip and are especially looking forward to meeting and exchanging ideas with the 350+ OpenStreetMap users and contributors who will be attending the conference.

With MapBox Streets, our street-level map of the world powered by OpenStreetMap data, we’re invested in improving the map data itself as well as using OpenStreetMap to make beautiful maps. We’ll be talking about our experiences in both areas throughout the conference, and specifically in these sessions:

Tom will kick off the conference with the iD, a New Editor for OpenStreetMap session, where he’ll introduce the new web-based OpenStreetMap editor and discuss its roadmap.
Saman will present his vision for openstreetmap.org, which we’ll help make more social and user friendly as part of our funding from the Knight Foundation to improve OpenStreetMap.
Dane will present Vector Tiles for Distributed, High Performance Rendering of OpenStreetMap, a session on the potential of rendering OpenStreetMap data directly from vector tiles similarly to how we do at MapBox.
Artem will reveal the secrets of Mapnik, the open source rendering engine powering OpenStreetMap and MapBox maps, plus a slew of others.
Tom and Eric Fischer will report on the OSM Data Report, a project visualizing the quality of data and contributions to OpenStreetMap to help plan to fill gaps and keep all data fresh.

We’re also participating in several hands on workshops happening on the Friday before the conference (separate registration required). These sessions will walk through OpenStreetMap tools and cartography tricks in greater detail:

Ian will walk through how to create your first TileMill in a session geared to beginner level folks.
Dane will show how to execute advanced cartography techniques in TileMill like how to make heat maps, elevation maps, maps from outerspace, and pirate maps.
John, along with Tom Hughes, will give a higher level overview of the architecture of openstreetmap.org and introduce the Rails Port application.

We hope these sessions will spark conversations around common experiences and an exchange of ideas. To talk about them or anything about the MapBox stack or what we’re up to, look for our team at the conference and the many social events which we’ll be sure to hit.

State of the Map US is happening on June 8 & 9 in San Francisco. You can check out the full schedule online and registration is still open. See you in San Francisco!

Notes - Bugs vs features

2013-05-21T03:00:02+00:00

Die Notes sind ein Quell grosser Freude, eine sinnvolle Weiterentwicklung von Openstreetbugs.

Leider wurde die Funktionalität nahezu 1 zu 1 übernommen, sodass die meisten Unzulänglichkeiten nach wie vor aktuell und akut sind.

man kann nicht/ its not possible to:

geschlossene Bugs kommentieren/ comment closed bugs
geschlossene Bugs wiedereröffnen/ reopen closed bugs
Bugkommentare+Status von "fremden" Notes abonnieren (ohne einen sinnlosen Kommentar abzulassen) / get notifications to note-edits from "not own"-notes without comment there
versehentlich falsch positionierte Bugs verschieben (*hüstel* doch das kann man (beim Erstellen), es hat nur keinen Effekt ...) / move bugs from wrong position to right
OSM dazu bewegen, (mir) die Notes immer anzuzeigen / show (me) notes every time and everywhere on the Map

Was ich mangels Zweitaccount und mangels aktiver massiver Eröffnungen (und somit mangels fremder Schliessungen) noch nicht verifizieren konnte, ist, ob ich eine Benachrichtigung auf ein kommentarloses Schliessen bekomme.

Necronneuring (Metric Century Training – Week 3)

2013-05-20T20:47:24+00:00

I tried to follow my metric century training plan last week.

Here’s how I made out:

	Mon	Tues	Wed	Thurs	Fri	Sat	Sun	Total
What I should have done	8	14	17	off	14	42	14	108 Miles
What I did	off	14	off	18	14	off	43	76 Miles

I came up a little short on the weekly total, but I got the long ride in, so I’m calling it a successful week.

This week’s long ride was another Necronneuring™ adventure. I found another old cemetery in the Google maps satellite view that wasn’t on the map, so I rode out to investigate. Sloth came along on this one.

It was a dark and gloomy day. Perfect for a spooky bike ride.

Sloth knew a shortcut through the woods to avoid a particularly shitty intersection.

After a great deal of dick-monkeying around, we got to the entrance to the cemetery. Unfortunately, the road was gated, and posted with “No Trespassing” signs.

A caretaker showed up out of nowhere and opened the gate for us. It was kind of strange. This gate is in the woods, out of sight from anywhere. I’m assuming he was real, and this isn’t some Scooby-Doo ghost story thing, because Sloth saw him too.

Anyways, we made our way up to the grave yard and looked around.

After a few minutes of walking around in wet grass, and breathing in the unwholesome vapours of the graveyard, we rode back down the mountain. Sloth brewed up some coffee to keep our spirits up.

After coffee time, we rode back across the river to the land of the living.

I had some minor mechanical malfunctions on this ride. I lost a fender mount, and seem to have picked up a few ticks, squeeks, and moans in the Cross Check. I have about 1600 miles on her since her last tune-up, so I guess it’s time to get the wrenches out and give her the once-over.

These rides are getting longer, and I really don’t want to have a total breakdown 30 miles from home.

OSMDE016 OSM Talk: Von Schatzsuchern und Seefahrern

2013-05-20T16:13:25+00:00

Heute haben wir wieder einen OSM Talk für euch. Ich habe zwei interessante Personen zum Interview besucht, mit denen ich die andere Seite der OSM-Welt beleuchten möchte – die der Datennutzer. Als Geocacher benutzen Uta und Marcel OpenStreetMap-Daten um sich im Gelände zu Orientieren, haben aber auch so ihre Schmerzen beim Verwenden unserer Daten.

In der ersten Hälfte des Interviews besprechen wir den Alltag des gemeinen Geocachers und wo dort OSM eine Rolle spielt. In der zweiten Hälfte beleuchten wir das andere Hobby der beiden, bei dem sie in Boot und Kajak auf der Hochsee sowie im Binnengewässer mit OSM-Karten und Informationen der OpenSeaMap herumschlagen. Zum Schluss driften wir noch ein wenig in Marcels Vergangenheit ab und lauschen Geschichten aus der Zeit, als er sich seinen Weg noch mit dem Sextant suchte.

Completed of the Queens and Brooklyn local bus routes and many fill-ins and a couple of error corrections. Bus routes also include non-revenue turnarounds not listed directly on maps as any research would indicate. Please let me know (and/or edit) any obvious errors I may have made.

Will probably review my work and other existing work for accuracy and to reflect any changes since the info was originally entered. Hopefully I didn't screw up too bad.

How many contributors does OSM have?

2013-05-20T10:17:32+00:00

We all know that while we have over a million, actually over 1.2 million now, user accounts, the number of actual contributors is quite a bit lower. Often you will see a number of 200'000 quoted, however that only considers the last editor of an object and not all the editors.

Analysing the mid May 2013 changeset dump gives a total of 335'000 unique user ids that have created a changeset. We can see this number increasing more or linearly in recent years:

Over the last 12 months we have averaged roughly 7'000 new contributors per month, in total a good 80'000 per year:

The numbers only take half of May in to account so it is too early to see if the announcement of the iD editor will already have a noticeable effect. In the long run we hope for a clear increase in the number of account holders actually contributing.

New York City Happy Hour at Swift Bar

With our releases of Vector tiles, a cloudless world, and a brand new way to edit OpenStreetMap, we’ve been busy this last month.

If you’re in New York City on Thursday, May 30th, join us for drinks to celebrate these milestones. We’ll kick it off at 6pm at Swift in Lower Manhattan. Eric, Alex, and Garrett will be there and eager to chat about maps, cartography, and technology.

Call for presentations

2013-05-19T21:44:00+00:00

Although this blog has been quiet since March, the organisation of State of the Map 2013 has been anything but inactive. It's been a busy couple of months, during which we have finalised the ticketing website, launched our call for presentations, and signed up our first few sponsors.

If you follow our twitter account, or are subscribed to any of the main OpenStreetMap mailing lists, then this news probably isn't new to you. For everyone else, apologies that it is late - we will endeavour to keep you informed via this blog up to and during SotM 2013!

So what are we looking for from this years presentations? Well, the theme of the conference is Change so presentations addressing this theme are of particular interest. For example, if you have something to say about switching to OSM, barriers to its use, apps for mobile mapping, changing community organisation or behaviour, historical mapping, or just anything that you want to present, then we want to hear from you.

Head over to the call for presentations form, to submit your presentation proposal. To keep things easy, at this stage we just need a few words, not a full presentation. You will however have to act quickly - call for presentations closes in 3 weeks on Monday 10 June 2013.

Захист інвестицій

В одній зі статей місцевого інтернет-видання якось побачив знайому картину:

Факт використання OSM порадував, але підпис внизу здивував. На перший погляд помилка явно технічна і викликана необізнаністю автора, комерційної мети таке використання не переслідує. Але що ж це виходить? Ми інвестуємо в проект найдорожче що у нас є - власний час (та часто і матеріальні затрати в процесі теж несемо), а наші труди взяли і так запросто приписали корпорації добра... Не годиться. Пишу шаблонного листа з коректурами по ситуації. Приємна несподіванка - в той же день відповідь

Вибачте за неуважність, змінили підпис на "Джерело: OpenStreetMap (автор: ivan_pl)" і додали посилання на трек в тексті статті.

І дійсно так: У ПОЛТАВІ СТВОРЕНО ШКОЛУ ДЛЯ ПІДГОТОВКИ ІНСТРУКТОРІВ — СУПРОВОДЖУВАЧІВ ВЕЛОТУРІВ

Ну нехай не ідеально, не буква в букву згідно умов ліцензії, але формально вірно - відображена картинка відрендерена з використанням даних OSM, а хто пройде за лінком на оригінал треку, побачить всі необхідні посилання.

OSM Foundation Awarded the “Geospatial Content Organisation of the year 2012″

2013-05-18T22:51:23+00:00

OSMF: Geospatial Content Organisation of the Year 2012

The Geospatial World Leadership Awards Jury has conferred the OSM Foundation with the “Geospatial Content Organisation of the Year 2012″ award. This award on earlier occasions has been presented to both Google Earth and Bing Maps and is given out by Geospatial Media based on nominations by the Geospatial World Magazine.

According to their statement, the jury “was convinced and felt overwhelmed with vision and capabilities of the Foundation in developing, maintaining and making available, the voluminous, exhaustive and constantly updated geospatial data.”

The award was received by Henk Hoff, board member, on behalf of the OSMF, during the Award Night of the Geospatial World Forum. Henk thanked the organisation for the award and with that recognizing the project as a reliable source for global open geo-data. He continued with: “The real success behind OpenStreetMap is it’s community. A community of more than a million volunteer contributors around the world. I would like to dedicate this award to them.”

Маппинг трассы

2013-05-18T19:59:08+00:00

Трасса Морозовск - Ростов-на-Дону

Замаппил отрезок трассы по видеорегистратору и GPS-треку от Морозовска по М21 до примыкания к М4 и немного М4 от М21 к Ростову, но не всё, т.к. записи дальше нет. Возможно, ещё не хватает ограничений по стороне Ростов-Морозовск, т.к. с регистратора не видно встречных знаков :) а от записи Ростов-Морозовск остались только небольшие куски. Скриншот сделан со страницы http://map.project-osrm.org

Ссылка на карту

Что маппил

* На М4 места для разворотов
* Заправки
* Освещение
* Полосность
* Туалеты
* Автобусные остановки
* Пешеходные переходы (не проставил теги crossing=uncontrolled, но они там везде и так)
* Отростки съездов с трассы
* Запреты обгонов (только если обозначены знаками)
* Немного milestone
* Кое-где power=tower и power=pole
* Пересечения ж/д путей
* Ограничения проезда по высоте
* Запреты движения грузовиков (если были)
* Кафешки, столовые, стоянки, которые попали в объектив видеорегистратора
* Развязки
* Ограничения скорости
* Правка кольцевых развязок

Чего не маппил:

* Рекомендуемая скорость
* Milestone почти не маппил
* Ну и всё остальное, чего не заметил

Результат

Участок трассы полностью пригоден для навигации (по крайней мере, я так щетаю)
Нанесены все заправки. Только не везде указаны октановые числа доступного бензина
Нанесены запреты обгона

Актуальность данных

25 марта 2013 года. Трек загружен в OSM как Идентефицируемый.

Кое-где в развязках пришлось прибегнуть к помощи более опытных участников OSM, где они быстро появились и помогли, и за это им Спасибо :)

Cinq Centimes

Today, the saturday before pentecost, we’ve been to Wasigenstein Castle. We enjoyed the warm and sunny day with the children, observing leeches, newts, lizards, and a colubrid.

Near the Sauer, we found those five centimes coined in 1966, 36 years before the Euro became the common european currency. Here’s the opposite side of the coin:

I also had the occasion for some wee small edits concerning the openstreetmap data set.

London's contours and lost rivers

Is it bad form to write 2 diary entries in one day? Possibly. But the network drives in the office have conked out, and it's Friday afternoon, and I have this all ready to go, so what the hell.

London's lost rivers have fascinated me ever since I first read about them, and since I started cycling in London the contours have fascinated me too. Finding a way to visualise these things was what first got me into OSM (via Maperitive), but I never found the time to finish the job to a reasonable standard. So here's a first attempt, see what you think:

The Urban Laboratory has just published its first Urban Pamphleteer which aim to ‘confront key contemporary urban questions from diverse perspectives. Written in a direct and accessible tone, the intention of these pamphlets is to draw on the history of radical pamphleteering to stimulate debate and instigate change.’

My contribution to the first pamphleteer, which focused on ‘Future & Smart Cities’ is dealing with the balance between technology companies, engineers and scientists and the values, needs and wishes of the wider society. In particular, I suggest the potential of citizen science in opening up some of the black boxes of smart cities to wider societal control. Here are the opening and the closing paragraphs of my text, titled Beyond quantification: we need a meaningful smart city:

‘When approaching the issue of Smart Cities, there is a need to discuss the underlying assumptions at the basis of Smart Cities and challenge the prevailing thought that only efficiency and productivity are the most important values. We need to ensure that human and environmental values are taken into account in the design and implementation of systems that will influence the way cities operate…

…Although these Citizen Science approaches can potentially develop new avenues for discussing alternatives to the efficiency and productivity logic of Smart Cities, we cannot absolve those with most resources and knowledge from responsibility. There is an urgent need to ensure that the development and use of the Smart Cities technologies that are created is open to democratic and societal control, and that they are not being developed only because the technologists and scientists think that they are possible.’

The pamphleteer is not too long – 32 pages – and include many thought-provoking pieces from researchers in Geography, Environmental Engineering, Architecture, Computer Science and Art. It can be downloaded here.
