Inflated Tea

So I am just learning Open Street Maps, but after the Massive Inflation that has come along, leaving coffee and tea prices at a gobsmacking 35-40 krona (3-4 Euro), I have set about trying to map cheaper spots in my home city of Stockholm. Here is a list, where Coffee and/or Tea is 15:- - 20:-. My first attempt did not turn up in searches - I guess the “Description” field doesn’t work for that.

Since toilets often cost 5:- 10:- kronor in Stockholm – a truly foul practice! – I have included information in this list as to which offer them for Free. There are several Panini Internazionales that do not have seating. I have only listed places where you can Sit here …

You should also know that public libraries also charge money for the priveledge of going to the bathroom in Stockholm, so they are not a good bet for Free places to sit - disgusting and fascist!

I have not included McDonalds, Max, Burger King or other fast food places here because I have trouble with the way the smell (or lets be honest- stink) of the disgusting food they sell. What is more, they are all on the HIGH side of cheap, charging at least 24:- or 25:- to sit in their nasty establishments with a small coffee or tea. Panini and the Grocery store cafes are chains, but innocuous ones as chains go, and I have done my best to locate locally owned cafes that don’t bar anyone who isn’t rich from sitting in their establishments by not having a single thing a normal person can afford.

Cheap Cafes to Catalog So Far

PANINI INTERNAZIONALE HAS 15:- small Coffee and Tea Panini Internazionale near Östermalmstorg (has toilet!)

Panini Internazionale Gallerian Mall (mall toilet is 15:- - ouch!)

Panini Internazionale in Västermalms mall (mall toilet is 10:-)

Panini Internazionale in Östermalmstorg subway exit plaza (no toilet)

Panini INternazionale Mall of Scandanavia (mall toilet is mercifully still free of charge)

Ich habe ein Problem Schäferhund Verein in Not. Ganz ehrlich… OG Rosstal Adresse Fernabrünster Strasse (?), 90574 Rosstal wird von Navi nicht erkannt. (Tesla) , weil die Strasse, nachdem sie in einen Feldweg asphaltiert dann in befestigten Sandwanderweg mündet, keinen Strassennamen mehr hat und auch nichts mehr im Auto anzeigt. Der Schäferhund Verein liegt linker Hand im Wald und man muss an der 2. T Kreuzung nach links abbiegen, aber bis dahin ist man meistens schon iranvorbeigefahren. Da sieht alles gleich aus. Ein großes Problem. Ich wollte einen richtungsweisenden Pfeil einfügen, aber ich scheiterte bereits auf dem Zielpunkt SV - Ortsgruppe Rosstal e.V. , das soll so quer über den Rasenplatz stehen, da wollte ich den Parkplatz und den Übungsplatz kennzeichnen. Kann mir jemand helfen? Wir haben im Mai eine Bundesdeutsche Sportveranstaltung. Wir müssen den Verein so Kennzeichen, das ca. 300 Menschen dort ohne Probleme hinfinden können und wissen, das sie direkt vor dem Vereinsheim parken können.

Ich habs versucht, ich Checks heute gar nicht. Bitte um Hilfe! Gute Nacht, ich packs nicht mehr. Lg, Hey Miss Daisy

Наш скромный проект раскручивается, набирает обороты и даже получает некоторое признание :) У нас теперь есть страничка на Taginfo:

https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/projects/openlandcovermap#tags

TagInfo – обалденно полезная и удобная вещь, а “проекты” так вообще гениальнейшая идея. Можно посмотреть не только какие теги определены в вики, и даже не только какие теги реально есть в базе, но и кто какие теги действительно использует.

Сделать свой проект на TagInfo оказалось намного легче чем я ожидал, потребовалось всего несколько строчек кода. В итоге, мне не нужно пилить свой фронтэнд, чтобы показывать статистку по тегам в генерализованной карте.

И вопреки тому, что написано на TagInfo, данные о тегах, предоставленные нашим проектом как раз полные, потому что это не какой-то отдельный список тегов, про который я забуду через 2 дня, а это скрипт собирает теги с базы и файла стиля карты (CartoCSS).

I know that Nodes means something else in OSM but still trying to come up with a better term for what I have started considering nodes - namely areas that are a bit ambiguous in terms of what street they are ‘on’ because they are large enough to envelop or border a few different ones, and / or just very large parks, complexes, etc. that deserve their own dedicated exploration. One of these such not-nodes that we mapped today was St Luke’s Hospital / medical complex. We mainly walked around the outside and a few of the front entryways, mapping items like benches, trash cans, bicycle parking, art / memorial plaques, cameras, two mail drop boxes, one bus stop, and the chapel.

I was particularly interested to find a small sitting area with sculptures and memorial plaques which I hadn’t expected to see. I do have one annoyance with OSM, which I hope I can discover how to improve at some point: when I add a memorial plaque, I get a “fixme” telling me that it should be merged with a nearby building. Worse, some of the plaques that happened to be close enough to the building automatically merged with it. The problem is, these plaques were actually attached to freestanding sculptures in a courtyard / outdoor seating area and were not mounted on the building at all. One was free-standing next to a memorial tree that had been planted. I am not sure if there is a way to merge them with a sculpture, and for the ones that auto-attached to the building I could not figure out how to un-attach them.

Another node-like object that we looked at was a small cul-de-sac called Pearl street, that runs north-south for just a few blocks perpendicular to 43rd, near Sway coffee. We took the opportunity to return to Sway, this time driving instead of walking, and realized the parking (other than 5-minute spaces for folks getting takeout) was very limited. Pearl was mostly residential but had one church.

Kävin osana pyöräpysäköintipaikkojen kapasiteetin täydennystä läpi Helsingin kaupungin pyörätelineitä ja HSL:n kaupunkipyöräasemien tietoja paikkaillessani kapasiteettipuutteita OpenStreetMapissa. Tämä sisälsi OpenStreetMapista riippumattoman karttadatan käsittelyä ja tämä artikkeli on lyhyt katsaus siihen, että miten tätä voi hyödyntää, kun maastosta tarkistaa asioita.

Helsingin kaupungin pyörätelineet karttapalvelusta

Helsingin karttapalvelusta löytää kaupungin vastuulla olevien pyörätelineiden sijainnin, toisin kuin Espoon ja Vantaan vastaavista. Tämä antaa Helsingin osalta hyvän pohjan OpenStreetMapin datasta löytyvien telineiden sijaintitiedon täydentämiseen.

Helsingin karttapalvelusta saa otettua esimerkiksi GML-muotoisen viennin pyörätelineiden koordinaateista. Tässä sijaintieto on GK25FIN-muodossa, joka täytyy erikseen muuttaa yleisemmin kansainvälisessä käytössä olevaan WGS84-koordinaatistoon, joka on myös OpenStreetMapissa käytössä oleva koordinaatisto. Lähdin jo hieman tutkimaan geomatiikan saloja, jotta saisin laskettua itse nämä muunnokset, mutta into lopahti ja käytin sen sijaan valmista pyproj-kirjastoa näihin koordinaatistomuunnoksiin.

OpenStreetMapin datasta pyörätelineet tuli haettua suhteellisen yksinkertaisella Overpass-kyselyllä:

node
  https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:[amenity=bicycle_parking]
  (60.13416, 24.67598, 60.26536, 25.1223);

  (60.13416, 24.67598, 60.26536, 25.1223);
(._;>;);
out;

OpenStreetMapin datasta sitten tuli laskettua lähimmät pisteet suhteessa Helsingin kaupungin dataan ja karsittua kaikki pois, joissa Helsingin kaupungin datassa olevan pisteen etäisyys OpenStreetMapin dataan verrattuna oli “liian lähellä”. Tämä lukema hieman vaihteli riippuen siitä, että miltä käsitelty data vaikutti sen jälkeen, kun näitä puuttuvia pyörätelinepisteitä kävi tämän projektin aikana läpi.

Bonne année et premier update de 2024 donc.

Une semaine un peu plus calme sur OSM, même si j’ai essayé de garder un bon rythme de manière générale. Un peu moins de micromapping et plus de changements plus “importants”, mais c’est aussi en partie parce que j’ai été moins restrictif sur ma zone de “travail” pour une fois (dites bonjour 👋 aux habitations manquantes de la Rue Pierreuse à Liège par exemple).

Au niveau des vidéos, de nouveau trois cette semaine avec :

Améliorons Flémalle (sur OpenStreetMap) - Épisode 3 (La Rue du Charbonnage) - Version live de ce changeset dans lequel je corrige (et micromappe) cette rue de Flémalle grâce en partie à Mapillary

Améliorons Seraing (sur OpenStreetMap) - Épisode 24 (Boncelles et ses “problèmes”) - Version live de ce changeset dans lequel, de nouveau, je résous des “problèmes” sur Boncelles cette fois-ci

Améliorons Flémalle (sur OpenStreetMap) - Épisode 4 (Le plateau des Trixhes) - Version live de ce changeset dans lequel je retourne sur le plateau des Trixhes pour corriger certaines choses et montrer l’évolution du PICC depuis mai 2023 dans le coin

Et c’est tout pour cette semaine. Ce rythme de trois vidéos par semaine est pour le moment le bon compromis je pense, et ça devrait continuer ainsi pour les prochaines semaines en tout cas.

Community-Driven Tech Development in Open Source

Two persons engaging in a discussion "open source" Sometime ago in 2019, out of curiosity I asked a friend who was a community engagement person to explain her job to me. What exactly is the role of a “community engagement person?”. Could it be just another title for a social media manager, or content creator?

Well, my friend loved her job and her explanation was plenty, but let me break it down and explain the role of community engagement.

I have come to the conclusion that some job titles can be used interchangeably, like Software Developer and Software Engineer. Whichever title you choose to have on your profile, the responsibility is the same. I feel, most companies use either for what suits their brand archetype.
