should every OSMer be an expert in Geodesy?
Found this from a blog comment about OSM.
"I suggest that you should invite a mapping professional into your group. Mapping is not a kiddy thing. It requires knowledge on Geometric Geodesy and GPS Systematic Errors. Without the required knowledge, doing mapping is just like wearing a blindfold blindly."

newbie: I want to contribute to OSM
OSM "expert": Welcome! I suggest you start reading ASPRS journals on Geodesy and GPS geometric corrections.
newbie: OH OK, bye.

expressive changesets
Lately, I've gotten bored with my changeset comments. The usual comments like "add new POI at road X" or "edit X footway" doesn't tell much about how I feel during editing sessions. In order to spice them up, I'm adding more expressive comments on my changesets.
Some are here:
1. A requested edit of my daughter
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/changeset/1983558
2. A mouth watering POI edit
http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/changeset/1873144
3. A frustrated edit

Vacation offer: Map the Island of Boracay!
Enthropia is making an offer to an openstreetmapper to gather information and map the whole island of Boracay. The map bounty: 25,000 Philippine Pesos.
Boracay in Openstreetmap is fairly complete, but as we say in OSM, “it’s a wiki, it’s never complete”.
My post on the announcement here: http://epsg4253.wordpress.com/2009/02/19/vacation-offer-map-the-island-of-boracay/

Nice updates for Metro Manila
I have to say the recent Mapnik update for Metro manila is looking quite extensive!
- Paranaque and Las Pinas are getting more coverage (though a lot has no names)
- More buildings added
- North Caloocan gets some love (partly by me, need to add road names)
- We now have municipal/provincial boundaries (which of course can be improved further)
- Taytay from rally's data import
- More landuse added
- And oh! I really liked this one:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=14.7321&lon=120.8927&zoom=14&layers=B000FTF
At this rate, I can boldly say we can get the Metro Manila completed by the end of 2009! (At least for roads).
The black-holes that needs volunteers are Muntinlupa, Taguig, Pateros, Caloocan, Valenzuela, Navotas and Malabon.
But something really bugs me, why is Jolly Recreation Center so prominent in Osmarender?
http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=14.516&lon=121.092&zoom=11&layers=0B00FTF
Keep on mapping guys!

Metro Manila Philippines needs some OSM love Part 2
Just got the news today from an OSM mapper that Metro Manila
Philippines is now in Google Mapmaker
See this:
http://www.google.com/mapmaker?gw=10&ll=14.555339,121.05835&spn=0.295086,0.31826&z=12
I have to admit that it is impressive in many parts (but not as
detailed as where I am currently mapping). However, we all know it
ain't free as in freedom.
So again here's my OSM love campaign. Calling all OSMer! Please join
us in an online mapping party for Metro Manila Philippines. A couple
of minutes (or hours or days) of your time editing using the Yahoo!
imagery is most welcome.
Using yahoo imagery, we want to complete a "first pass" edit to many
areas in the metropolis (yahoo imagery in Metro Manila is pretty much
dated by our guesstimate: 5 years old, but still very much useful).
Before editing please consider the following:
1. choose an area where there is virtually no edits (this way we don't
mess-up other contributions);
2. we have "mostly" completed major routes (motorway/truks/primary)
so the remaining tags would be mostly residential areas;
3. add the tag highway=road.
Also have a look at the
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Yahoo!_Aerial_Imagery#Problems_with_tracing_Yahoo
for tips.

SM Marikina, Metro Manila
SM Marikina Mall opened last week, I just cycled around with my kids, and its
now added to OSM (building outline, service roads, ramps and footbridge). As far as I know we are the only webmap with this
data as of this time.

Roads in Visayas, Philippines (Guimaras, Panay and Negros)
Currently uploading a couple of roads from 1:250K out-of-copyright maps
in Guimaras, Panay and Negros Island with following tags. I hope local
mappers in Visayas would improve it.
More will come later.

map seeding Quezon City
Today, I'm currenlty uploading ways covering Quezon City, Metro Manila, Philippines. I believe I have covered almost 90% of the city.
The data came from an image map from the City government (with permission of course). I rectified the image and created a local wms
for JOSM. Most streets are unnamed and I hope local mappers would continue adding the names and other POIs.
cheers,
maning

Mapping in Mindanao, Philippines with public domain maps
For the past weeks I've been using public domain maps in mapping roads in Mindanao.
http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/maning/diary/951
Now most major roads are visible in the map.
http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=7.54&lon=125.3&zoom=8&layers=B0FT
3 tags are added: highway, FIXME and source.
I have a rough documentation on the process (will add more detail in time).
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/OSM_Philippines_Data_Import
Overlaying ways on LANDSAT, I'm not really satisfied with the results some ways are way off by tens of meters. But the general geometry is OK. I will be editing further using landsat. Is there any way to cache landsat for offline JOSM editing?
cheers,
maning
