I am very excited to host a JOSM workshop at the Cornell Branch of the Telluride Association, where I am currently a faculty fellow.This is the first OSM workshop I am running, so I would really appreciate the OSM community's suggestions.

The plan is (a) to run a 2-hour workshop to familiarise the CBTA community (of ~30 students) with OSM and its editing options and (b) host a mapathon (OSM tasking manager)

The CBTA is a highly diverse, intellectually involved and socially active community of students. I look forward to teaching and learning from them.

Workshop countdown: 56 days :)

Google Summer of Code is over, and the 3D model repository was successfully completed, with great results: all the requirements are accounted for, and there were a few extra features implemented.

In August, many crucial features were added: model uploading, map, nightlies, administration of the models, comments and users, and finishing both documenting and implementing the API. I’ve also done lots of polishing, namely in the documentation, caching the models, layout improvements and fixed lots of issues in general, from bugs to simple color changes. The extra features that were added are model editing and revising, letting users alter the submitted models.

The model uploading page, allowing users to add new models to the repository, and specify their metadata, including title, description, their coordinates (which they can pick on a Leaflet map), license and transformations.

The most noticeable feature here is the marker map, showing the position of the model, as well as the models around it. This is also available as a full page in the ‘Map’ page. The revising feature allows users to upload a new revision of a model they own, keeping its metadata, and the editing feature allows them to edit the model’s metadata. Admins can hide/unhide models. Hidden models are still viewable by other admins. Comments can be hidden in the same way as models. There is also a ‘3D View’ tab, which is displayed by default, which has been the subject of the previous diary entry.

An excerpt of the API docs, showing the live testing of the full search endpoint, so that anyone using the API can test the most complex features right in their browser, speeding up development time.

Stay tuned for the next diary entry for the upcoming launch!

State of the Map 2017 attendees

State of the Map 2017 was a lively event. This was my first attendance at a State of the map conference. There was good participation from experienced community members from different parts of the world along with members from OSMF, DWG and from companies such as Mapillary, Telenav, Facebook, Apple, GeoRepublic, Grab and more.

It is wonderful to be part of this vibrant community. I have Mapbox to thank, for introducing me to OpenStreetMap and allowing me to work with passionate people for mapping, documentation and validation. I would like to use this diary post to answer some of the recurring questions on OSMCha and some notes from State of the Map 2017.

• Arun's talk made it clear that new mapper validation catches 60% of all cases of data issues on OSM. This was already a reason in OSMCha for participants to try out during the validation workshop.

• I felt that there was a common agreement on peer reviewing amongst local mappers from the SoTM attendees. This promotes constructive feedback, builds a stronger community and results in better data quality.

• It was great to meet Frederick Ramm from DWG. The workflow the validation team at Mapbox follows has been similar to how DWG approaches in fixing issues, escalations and in sharing feedback to users to become core mappers.

OSMCha

• OSMCha is getting adopted amongst the community rapidly. Last week, 311 changesets were reviewed by various members of the community. The recent OSM feature to request a changeset review can help new contributors to map with more confidence and build a error free map. Do read Pascal Niess’ nice blog post about this and for other ways to review changesets.

• If you are a developer or a team who intends to use OSMCha but if you prefer your own instance, feel free to deploy your own. Here are the resources

  • OSMCha frontend - https://github.com/mapbox/osmcha-frontend
  • OSMCha backend and API - https://github.com/willemarcel/osmcha-django
  • API docs - http://osmcha.mapbox.com/api-docs/

• Documentation on using OSMCha is at https://osmcha.mapbox.com/about. It would be great to have this translated into local languages by community members. This will help OSMCha serve and reach out to local communities better.

OSM-Compare

• OSM-Compare is the open library of GeoJSON comparison rules that flags problematic edits in OSMCha https://github.com/mapbox/osm-compare
• We can use OSM-Compare not only for identifying odd changes on OSM, but also as a social tool or watchlist of certain feature edits:
  • I saw passionate rail mappers at SoTM, I think it would help to flag changesets with rail edits so OSM users can identify and interact with each other, in local communities.
  • Blake Girardot recently opened an issue to flag any changes to man_made=survey_point features. This is now a compare function in OSM-Compare ready to flag the first such change in OSMCha.
  • If you have any other niche use case of OSM-Compare that you would like to use it for, awesome!! Please feel free make an issue and I can help you write a compare function in OSM-Compare that you can use as a reason in OSMCha.

Join us in validation

If you are new to OSMCha and not sure where to start, going through review_requested changesets in your local area is great way to begin. This is a new feature that landed in iD editor on OpenStreetMap. These are the steps I would follow:

• Set the OSMCha filter for changesets with the reason Review requested . This link will set it for you.
• Open the filters and modify the bbox to your local map area that you want to review.
• Hit Apply to view the list of changesets that was requested for review
• Go through the changesets and submit feedback to the mapper by commenting on the changeset on OpenStreetMap based on your assessment.

Went along the Llangollen Canal this year and surprised that there was very little landuse on OSM. Based on memory and aerial photo, I am woring my way from Llangollen to Ellesmere. Perhaps this will inspire more to visit! On the Farmland/Meadow issue, I tend to map according to ground colour. I follow those who think that Farmland is crops and Meadow is for grazing. meadow could be ploughed. If you can see worn tracks, lots of individual trees, growth variation, or steep slopes, then it's probably meadow. Still waiting for someone to come up with a rendering for Fell....

Last August 16-19, 2017, I attended the International Conference For FOSS4G held in Boston, Massachussets, USA. It is an annual recurring global event hosted by OSGeo. The FOSS4G (Free and Open-Source Software for Geospatial) conference is the largest global gathering focused on open source geospatial software. It brings together developers, users, decision-makers, and observers from a broad spectrum of organizations and fields of operation. I was one of the ten travel grant awardees under the OSGeo Travel Grant Programme (TGP). Through the financial support from OSGeo and UP NOAH have provided me, I was able to attend FOSS4G. It has given me the opportunity to gain knowledge on the on-going open-source projects around the world. My participation from the conference has provided me direct access to presentations from many organizations within the open-source community, allowing me to gain valuable information about what other projects are all about and where they are focusing their efforts. Attending this conference has provided me with opportunity to learn more about the latest free and open-source software for geospatial technologies and developments, but also increase visibility for the research organization I am working for, UP NOAH.

Favorite Sessions

1. Breaking Up is Easy to Do: Leaving ESRI Behind for QGIS – A Case Study This, perhaps, was one of my favorite sessions. Alex Cohn discussed the reasons why their organization made a transition from using ArcGIS to QGIS and explained the impacts of this transition on their everyday operations for two years.

2. It’s About People: Putting the ‘Community’ in ‘Open Data Community’ This session was basically focused on solutions and challenges to empowering collaboration within the community using the MapStory project. MapStory is a free and open-source platform for crowd-sourcing global spaciotemporal data. Since it is a participation-focused open data platform, it emphasizes and revolves around the contribution of the global community.

3. Lastly, I enjoyed listening to the talk of Steven Feldman about Fake Maps. Obviously, it was telling us about the power of maps that may mislead people through the message of the map intentionally, or through a lack of understanding. It was a fun and chill talk by Steven and I am sure that everyone loved it.

The Keynote

There were 5 keynotes for this year's conference and I must say that one really stood out -- the keynote from THE Richard Stallman. Dr. Richard Stallman launched the free software movement in 1983 and started the development of the GNU operating system in 1984. It is a free software -- everyone has the freedom to copy it and redistribute it, with or without changes. It was a pretty long keynote though, but surely leaves discussion within the community about what an open-source software really is.

Wrap Up

Attending FOSS4G was quite rewarding for me. It is an opportunity that should not be missed. It was also great to meet the geo-geeks and learn so much from them.

I would want to take this chance to thank everyone involved in making this conference possible.

Next year, it will be held in Tanzania in August, and I hope to be there!

May the FOSS be with you!

You can tell where someone's from in Texas by what they call that smaller road parallel to the highway. A Dallasite may call it a service road, a San Antonian might say access road, and every other Texan will tell you it's a frontage road, except of course Houstonians who swear by feeder. Regardless of what you call it, it's a ubiquitous thing across the urban areas of Texas. Everyone's driven on 'em.

So why are they so chaotically mapped? As it is right now, they're typically mapped as highway=secondary throughout, switching to highway=primary or even highway=trunk when they're part of a freeway exit for such a road. This happens regardless of the lack of any underlying changes to the frontage road itself. If I showed you a cropped image of a frontage road segment tagged highway=secondary and another nearby segment tagged highway=trunk, you probably wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

This ends up looking kinda janky and ugly. But more importantly, it doesn't do a good job of describing the roadway it's supposed to represent. If you take out the freeway and leave just the frontage roads, it's a wide boulevard with massive spacing in between median crossovers. That alone merits highway=trunk.

And, lo and behold: we already do that where the freeway hasn't yet been built but its surrounding frontage roads have been. In good faith, I'm going to be changing most urban Texas frontage roads to highway=trunk. I hope this makes sense to people, and if you have any concerns, feel free to shoot me a message.

Domenica 1° ottobre 2017 OpenStreetMap organizza un mapping party a Viverone (BI).

L’evento si svolge in collaborazione con il BiLUG Biella Linux User Group, l'IvLUG Ivrea Linux User Group, lo ZAC! Hackers' Café di Ivrea, la Compagnia dell’Armanac di Santhià e con il patrocinio e supporto del Comune di Viverone e dell'Associazione Slowland Piemonte.

OpenStreetMap (OSM) è un progetto aperto per creare e rendere disponibili dati cartografici, liberi e gratuiti, con una logica collaborativa simile a quella di Wikipedia.

Un mapping party è un evento durante il quale nuovi appassionati ed esperti si ritrovano per rilevare un luogo e passare una giornata insieme. Tutti sono benvenuti e in particolare chi vuole saperne di più su OpenStreetMap e gli open data.

Il ritrovo è fissato per le 9.45 presso la Biblioteca, Via Umberto I 109, 13886 Viverone (BI).

Il programma sarà il seguente:

• ore 9.45 ritrovo presso la biblioteca
• ore 10.00 inizio lavori e spiegazione introduttiva
• ore 10.30 divisione in gruppi e passeggiata con raccolta dati attraverso le vie di Viverone
• ore 13.00 pranzo al sacco
• ore 14.00 elaborazione dei dati raccolti e inserimento dei dati in OpenStreetMap
• ore 18.00 conclusione della giornata

L’organizzazione fornirà le nozioni necessarie per poter raccogliere i dati sul territorio e le mappe cartacee su cui appuntarli. Alcuni collaboratori di OpenStreetMap seguiranno e aiuteranno i neofiti durante la rilevazione.

Chi vuole può portare:

• un ricevitore GPS, per acquisire tracce GPX e annotare waypoint
• un macchina fotografica digitale, per georeferenziare le foto
• uno smartphone, da usare come ricevitore GPS o come macchina fotografica digitale, oppure per l'uso di applicazioni specifiche (OsmAnd, OSM tracker, OSM Contributor, Street Complete, Vespucci)
• un computer portatile, per l'inserimento dei dati tramite JOSM

Durante la giornata sarà presente anche Alessandro Palmas, Project Manager OpenStreetMap per Wikimedia Italia.

Per motivi organizzativi, si pregano gli interessati di segnalare la loro partecipazione.

I am in the process of trying to update and add bus stops and bus routes in San Diego County. The majority of current bus-stops are based on old data and are many are just a single located at an intersection. MTS and SANDAG have new SHP layers and update this information quarterly. I am approaching this in pieces so as to not break any functionality of the existing bus routes in OSM. However, from what I have seen, the vast majority of bus stops need to be changed and many routes are not added yet.

I recently added "area roads" to downtown Durham, NC. I made the surface of the roads visible on Openstreetmap. I was wondering if their is any specific way to map road areas. I currently map them as "area = highway" and "highway = service". Feel free to check it out!

Downtown Durham http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/35.99361/-78.89968

Downtown Chapel Hill http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/35.91627/-79.05645

Chapel Hill Public Library http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=19/35.93251/-79.03549

All three links lead to a place in Openstreetmap where I mapped roads as areas.

I anyone else mapped roads as areas, please reply a link to the location!

I'm tempted to replace all those named as clinic by the tag amenity=clinic, but maybe someone who has lived in Korea can confirm if that's appropriate?

組織的編集に関するガイドライン

OSMが始まったころは、趣味の範囲で空いた時間を利用してマッピングを行う活動が主なものでした。マッパーは好きなものをマッピングし、好きなツールを使い、自分がマッピングした内容に対して自分で責任を負っていました。

OSMが拡大するにつれ、組織でマッピングする活動が増えてきました。企業がマッピングチームを雇い、特定の地域や特定の用途を想定してマッピングをおこない、OSMデータを改良しています。他にも学校の授業でOSMマッピングするような、非有償のグループ活動もあります。

このような組織的マッピング活動は、今日ではOSM活動の一部分となっており、正しく活動が進められたならば、OSMがより良いものになり、知名度も上がります。

個人マッパーと組織マッピンググループの間で、コミュニケーションを円滑に行い、どの参加メンバーも平等であることを明確にするため、OSMFデータ・ワーキンググループでは組織的マッピンググループに対するガイドラインを策定中です。ガイドラインでは組織的マッピンググループに対して一定の透明性確保を要請する予定です。例えば、チームメンバーのアカウントを開示することなどが挙げられますが、すでに多くのグループが自主的におこなっている内容でもあります。

ガイドラインに対してOSMコミュニティが何を期待しているのかを把握するため、アンケートを準備しました。このアンケートは、OSMを編集している人、これから編集しようと思っている人、個人マッパー、マッピンググループの一員などすべての人を対象にしています。アンケートの結果をもとに、ガイドラインをより良いものにしていきます。

本アンケートおよび策定されるガイドラインにおいては、paid mapping(有償マッピング)を、「他の人または団体から、何をマッピングするのか指示され、その報酬として金銭を受領したOSM編集」と定義します。また、other organised mapping(その他組織的マッピング)を、「他の人または団体から、何をマッピングするのか指示されるが、金銭を受領しないOSM編集」と定義します。

アンケートは12問あります。
