March 24: School Work starts
As best as I can tell I’ve only worked my way through 69 schools. It seems far more. There are more than 223 changesets made by myself under this banner, and I was trying to do one changeset for each school or set-of-schools in the same immediate area. I think that what has happened is that the number of schools listed on the page have shrunk as I have sorted them.
I began using https://osm.mathmos.net/schools/progress/NG to update all school info within OSM in the NG (Nottinghamshire) postcode on March 24. You can see all postcode links at https://osm.mathmos.net/schools/progress/.
The osm.mathmos.net site was promoted by a diary post by CjMalone. It gathers info from the get-information-schools.service.gov.uk site on current schools and cross-references those against schools mapped within OSM. Each top-level postcode gets it’s own page, and within that page the site lists (in order):-
In the last 9 days I’ve worked my way through all the first 3 sets of schools in the lists above. I’ve entered missing Cadastre (the perimeter of the school land parcel), and fixed them where they were wrong.
I also tried but failed to find the govt opensource download for those cadastre. Finally, Christian Ledermann mailed me with the link to his github for his App that contains those Cadastre. Unfortunately his site is broken (logging into OSM gives a Status 500 error back from his site), but it did all work and put all necessary info on the OSM way. Bugger! Just when I needed it, it is not working.
I do not have the time to fix his site. I can finish the NG schools manually & bodge my way with the cadastre. It’s a bummer, because his product was excellent. Build instructions are here.
There seem to be many missing or bad website links in the edubase gov.uk site. A useful site is schoolswebdirectory.co.uk, in which the first link on the line will bring up the school website.
The interesting feature for me is that a few years ago very few schools had a website or an email address and, suddenly, that has changed with hundreds of identikit websites springing up. Chock-a-block with JavaScript and cute cartoons (wretch) and moving pictures. Including more than one with a customised mouse cursor that prevented me from clicking on anything (not deliberate - they had scores of links to click on). The cursor was a little, cute squirrel. I was really wishing that it was a hedgehog, or a porcupine, so that I could stick it sideways up the southern fundament of that page’s web designer.
I’ve had to update every school with at least one piece of data, and usually several or all. So, it has been very useful indeed. Only another few hundred to go.
Boa Noite.

Der Welt-Umradler Peter Smolka (“Lemlem”) hat mir in sein Bucht auch Grüße an die Openstreetmap-Gemeinde geschrieben:
“Mit herzlichen Grüßen an die OSM-Gemeinde. Die OSM-Karten haben mir oft geholfen, besonders im Großstadtschungel und in den ganz leeren Weltgegenden.”
Seine Bücher sind zu empfehlen, wenn man von Abenteuern und vom realen Leben in anderen Ländern lesen möchte: Rad ab, Rad ab 2
Top ten fifteen mappers in my country are not even locals. There’s a need to form a new rebel alliance! We shall rise, silently and slowly. Currently, we are just tired.
Right now, I suspect that Tesla gets its speed limit data from OSM, but I can’t prove this.
(Subject says it all) If the GPS that got uploaded was accurate, I would be running off road, across driveways, on sidewalks that are not yet built.
I drive a Tesla Model 3 around Canberra suburbs. When it uses Traffic Aware Cruise Control, it apparently relies on OSM data rather than the speed limit signs. This can lead to situations where TACC will use an incorrect speed limit (eg. 80 km/h in a 60 km/h zone). See https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/668268353#map=19/-35.24389/149.13545&layers=TD How can such speed limit data be kept accurate and up to date? This is what I aim to find out.

Из интервью с Максимом Дубининым
Надо выбить золотыми буквами где-нибудь.
— Данные OSM — они какие? Бытует мнение, что они, мягко говоря, сырые. — Они такие, что их используют почти все, причем во всем мире. […] Когда начинаются разговоры про качество и точность данных OSM, то я считаю, что в 90% случаев — это чистый троллинг.

ОТ МЕНЯ: Чем данные OSM становятся подробнее, тем больше они сырые. Такой вот, граждане, удивительный факт.

Hi All,
I thought it was about time I started my diaries and put some public thoughts out into the world of OSM.
I recently joined HOT to take on the role of Director of Technology and couldn’t be happier to be a part of it. I am by no means replacing my predecessor, Nate, rather doing my best to carry on and evolve the astounding legacy (and huge shoes to fill).
In the spirit of openness, you can look up my background here > https://www.linkedin.com/in/bopercival/
My HOT profile is here > https://www.hotosm.org/people/bo-percival/
the tldr; I’ve always worked in non-profit, NGO and community development and have worked over the past 7 or so years specifically on digital development, ICT4D or whichever turn of phrase you’d prefer. Over the last 5 years, I also worked alongside a couple of OpenSource projects in this space namely DHIS2 and Moodle. Things I care a lot about; design, inclusive technologies, gender & LGBTQI+ groups, transparency and universal access.
I’ve been a long time user of OSM in a recreational capacity (finding and contributing mountain bike and hiking trails while living in and around Asia), but I’m new making contributions in a professional capacity.
I have two personal mottos. i) ‘support the superstars’ and ii) ‘the best opportunities in the best interests of others’. My main goal is to facilitate and support the team at HOT as well as everyone in the OSM community to ensure all voices are heard for HOT’s contributions.
This article sums up me and combines my work life with my non work life > https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/leadership-development-backcountry-guide-way-bo-percival/
Feel free to reach out to me on slack or email, I’m always open for a chat, feedback, ideas, anything you’d like :)
One of the main feature I love to map while hiking are abandoned houses/isolate dwellings. It’s full of them in the parks I usually go around and they are more often than not in a good state. Leaving aside the fact that after a few years I’m STILL not sure what the exact tag should be (locality? isolated_dwelling? abandoned:isolated_dwelling?) the main “problem” I have is with the one I don’t reach: there are so many abandoned places marked on OSM that have no road/path leading there. I suppose most of them come from mass import from public data-set or maybe someone copying data from other maps, but it baffles me how many un-mapped way are there in the mountains. I love exploring and I would love to complete some zone, but it seems like an effort so huge that feels impossible.
Максим Дубинин — основатель проекта GIS-Lab и директор компании NextGIS, которая разрабатывает одноименный продукт. Наверное, его имя известно в России почти любому, кто связан с темой ГИС. Кто использует данные OSM, какого они качества и почему их не ценят — обо всем этом он рассказал в интервью.
Mise à jour du cadastre de Quimperlé OK 12 510 habitants
South and east of Torsetvannet a new diagonal was opened winter 2019/20 that is not currently in opensnowmap. This now added. It does not yet have a name so noe has been added. The track is groomed with classic tracks on both sides and a narrow skat section in the middle, thus taged as classic and skate.
Angeblich ist die Lindenstraße ja irgendwo in München. Aber OSM findet dort fast in jedem Stadtteil eine. Der letzte Abspann, ein toller Kameraflug, macht gut ermittelbar, wo die Straße in München liegt:

I saw a tender put out for new aerial imagery for Regina. It looks like the city is keeping with their recent pattern of re-imaging the city every 2 years. The images are usually acquired early to mid April before the tree leaves open.
Should be available for JOSM editing in a few months to add buildings constructed in the past year.

На что обратить внимание:
Many places around the world right now are experiencing community lock downs to help mitigate the spread of CoVid-19. Non-essential travel is restricted or banned, including even exercising outdoors.
That’s our new normal here in the Philippines, especially those villages, towns, and cities in Luzon under “community quarantine”, or the more restrictive “enhanced community quarantine”, in other words we are staying at home as much as possible, and most us are online doing many other things, trying to keep our minds of from worrying.
In fact, I recently enrolled to an online language course, to brush up on my Nihonggo, which I took up many years ago, but never really got to use except, for my perfect “Wakarimasen” replies. 😉
Last week, the OSM community in the Philippines kicked of a re-formatted MapaTime initiative. In our previous normal, MapaTime events are mapathon sessions held in venues where people physically gather to contribute, learn, map, exchange ideas about specific themes, or initiatives. It’s a term we use, instead of the jargon “mapathon” which many people may not understand, based on feedback we received from past sessions.
This initiative is referred to as “WeMap”, a portmanteau of “Wednesdays MapaTime” , where we plan to organize sessions every Wednesday night, hoping to reach out to online volunteers who are keen to contribute to positive efforts, with tangible outcomes during the lock down.
Last week, the MapaGaling campaign by the Ministry of Mapping was featured, where participants were taught how to contribute to OSM using MapContrib, and mapping local healthcare facilities that they know of: hospitals, clinics, doctors, pharmacies, etc. MapContrib is perfect for new mappers, with a very friendly and almost intuitive interface.
Most of the participants were from the capital region,but we had a sprinkling of participants from elsewhere, and this showed up in the edits that occurred during that period, when we encourage participants to map the favorite neighborhoods they’re familiar with.
There’s a genuine interest for healthcare-related efforts, and that was made apparent by the ~77 volunteers who attended that night:
This coming Wednesday, together #WeMap for the MAPampanga campaign of the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team in the Philippines, to map infrastructure essential to disaster preparedness and response in the province.
For your convenience, we recommend using a computer with a mouse, to maximize your potential for learning the iD editor during the webinar.
Together #WeMap for Pampanga this Wednesday, 1st April, 19:30 (UTC+8).
We’re keen to hear from fellow contributors – new and old, while we map together during the session. Details about the session is available here: is.gd/dox14p
I hope you continue to look after yourself, and look out for one another. Take care and stay safe.
