Di ritorno dalla nostra escursione in cui abbiamo fatto tante belle foto, mappiamo gli elementi visti sul percorso e vorremmo collegare le foto fatte a quegli elementi. Di siti online che permettono di caricare fotografie ce ne sono a bizzeffe, ma noi vogliamo restare “in famiglia” e caricare le nostre foto su Wikimedia Commons. Anzi, ancora meglio: vogliamo collegare un elemento su Wikidata al nostro elemento nella mappa.

Creare account Wikimedia

La prima cosa che consiglio è, se on ne avete uno, di creare un account, che è necessario per caricare le immagini su Wikimedia Commons. Per fare questo, andiamo su Wikimedia Commons e in alto a destra clicchiamo su “Create account”.

ESTOY BUSCANDO PERSONAS DESAPARECIDAS AQUÍ.

On Saturday September 10th 2022 , the OSM local group of Grenoble organized a mapping party in Claix, Isère, France. We were about 10 mappers and we survey this city of 8 000 inhabitants.

We used the tag #CARTOCLAIX2022. Below the area covered by all our changesets:

J’ai rapidement comparé les adresses d’OSM en Wallonie avec la base d’adresses de référence, ICAR par commune. La commune la moins bien cartographiée en termes d’adresses est à 12% d’adresses. C’est surtout en Hainaut et dans le Brabant Wallon qu’il manque le plus d’adresses.

Comment ?

J’ai compté le nombre de points d’adresses dans ICAR et dans OSM par commune en Wallonie, en utilisant QGIS. Auparavant, j’ai transformé les bâtiments OSM (polygones) qui ont une adresse (addr:housenumber) en point, et je les ai fusionnés avec les points d’adresses OSM seuls. J’ai finalement calculé le ratio entre le nom d’adresses dans OSM et dans ICAR.

Résultat

En Wallonie, 1,025,540 adresses sont répertoriés dans OSM, contre 1,634,840 dans ICAR (64.4%).

Voici une carte choroplète, montrant, pour chaque commune, le degré de complétion des adresses dans OSM par rapport à ICAR. Les limites de provinces sont soulignées par un trait plus gras.

There was an interesting discussion following my recent diary post asking about searching diary content. A couple of people remarked that most search engines have built-in syntax that lets you narrow down search results. One person suggested that it might be enough to just mention this on the OSM wiki. When I went to add this tip, I found that there was no wiki page describing User Diaries at all. So I created an initial version. I’m writing this in hopes that others will go in and help improve it. Thanks, and happy mapping!

It has been almost a month since the annual State of the Map (SoTM) and Free and Open Source Software for Geospatial (FOSS4G) 2022 conferences, but the stories and experiences are still fresh in my memory. Both were the most awaited conferences in the open mapping and open software world and, undoubtedly, the best conferences I have attended.

SoTM and FOSS4G conferences were hybrid – held in Florence, Italy, and online. SoTM2022 was held last Aug 19-21, 2022, while FOSS4G took place on Aug 22-28, 2022. On top of the conference sessions and workshops, different organizations hosted additional events, like the HOT unSummit, and the YouthMappers documentary premiere. GeoChicas also hosted their social night.

Наконец то обработал все свои открытые 12255 заметки. Помню что начал править карту самостоятельно, после замечания пользователя Literan, касающееся того, что на закрытие множества моих заметок у сообщества нет ни сил, ни времени. Что ж, не плохое было предложение, ведь заметки дают максимально разнообразный материал для маппинга. Однако вряд ли у меня дошли бы руки до этого дела, если бы не перелом ноги, ограничивший приток новых данных.

Для обработки заметок, мне пригодился сервис NotesReview, позволяющий найти, и отобразить на карте свои, собственно, заметки.

今まで徒歩圏内の近所のマップを正しく作成してきたが、明らかに地元民ではない編集者がデタラメな道を作ったり、そぐわない種類の道路に変更したりするので萎えた。もう今後OSMを開くことはないだろう。

いくらOSM編集に熟練していて様々な地域の編集をしようとも実際の地形と違うならばそれはただの自己満にすぎないと下記の編集者に言いたい。

Hi all,

Actually, this note is mostly just for me. One of the approved aerial imageries for sweden is the one used by Min Karta. Just use this as a custom imagery:

Best regards and peaceful mapping, Dmitry

How did it end?

To be honest, the experience was different than I expected. It was a lot of struggle to understand the codebase. The feature in itself was not too complex but understanding the code to a point where I made substantial progress did take a lot of time and effort.

With most real-world large projects, the outcome (the lines of code) produced at the end doesn’t depict an accurate picture of the hours a developer spent behind the scenes. But that’s with most creative jobs, I guess.

In the end, I am glad I was able to complete it. Seeing the feature work did make it up.

You can find my final report in a GitHub gist

Should you contribute to open source?

OpenStreetMap (OSM) is a good product. Just try to edit your home or your neighborhood or any place you like using iD editor; you’ll realize what I mean. If not for open source, OSM wouldn’t exist.

If you are thinking of becoming part of Google Summer of Code (GSoC) in the future or know someone who can be or wants to be a part of GSoC or just wants to contribute to OSM or any open source project, I recommend it.

Note: relations in brackets [ ] are not part of the Empire State Trail, but are relations that were helpful in creating the trail.

Note: in this list, some relations have distances indicated after the relation ID number.

I was going to search to see if someone had already written about this, but..

It would be really useful to be able to search the diaries.

There is so much valuable, fun, informative, personal writing on here, but it is really hard to discover.

Fortunately, Weekly OSM does a good job of capturing some of the interesting entries posted here, but they can’t possibly cover everything.

I’m not sure what would be involved in adding this functionality, I am sure if it were easy, someone would have already done it. Someone did open an issue for it on Github but it has received no comments so far.

Is there anyone here who speaks Ruby, cares about this, and wants to implement it?

PlantNet.org offers an API which tries to determine the plant species based on some pictures.

I integrated this API into MapComplete, together with some queries to Wikidata. As a result, linking a tree to the correct species identifier is easier then ever and can be done with a few clicks:

This week I’ve released the 2.0 version of Every Door, which irons out most of the inconveniences found within a month after its official release. Yes, the editor has been officially released, just a few days before two talks on it at SotM and FOSS4G (recordings pending). You should download the editor for your Android or iOS smartphone right now!

I absolutely love the experience it gives me. It has revived my love for plain mapping, going out and collecting things to put on the map. Pascal’s HDYC shows my mapping days went from 29 last year to over 120 this year. That’s because I again look around for unmapped things while outside, and making an edit no longer requires navigating a map on a small phone screen, or making scribbles to open JOSM later at home.

(Sorry for the delay in posting. I spent most of July 2022 on holiday in Australia)

• Mapping
  • Livnig in Germany, I’m used to lots being mapped. In Australia there was so much to map!
    • I got to rank #151 in Australia (🐦 🐘) just from my day to day mapping.
    • To my shame, I did use Google Maps. There was so much missing PoIs from OSM.
  • A shop (which I spent a lot of money in) was selling dresses with “he/they” pronoun badge, and I wondered if clothes=women still applied 🐘 🐦. 🤣
• OSMF Board
  • Board Meeting, July 2022 Board Meeting
    • I had just retured from Aus, and the postponed community presentation from Mapbox Workers Union was interesting.
    • It was interesting to find out that the Mapbox management hadn’t put any direct or explicit pressure on employees to vote a certain way at OSMF Board elections
    • Lots of Mapbox based maps don’t show OSM Attribution, and it was interesting to find that the union had tried to change that internally.
  • I didn’t go to the 2022-07 mid month chat because I was away in Australia (timezones!).
  • I started the wiki page for the board AMA at SotM 2022
• Community
  • While in Sydney, I organised a last minute meet up. (annoucement twitter 🐦, fedi 🐘. I had a clever “OSM Surveyor” costume 🐦 🐘 ).
    • It was my first time properly using Every Door, and we all found it quite nice
    • It was nice to meet some of the fellow OpenStreetMap World Discord people, including a fellow mod.
• CWG
  • Freebies / Promotional Material Programme
    • I’ve been so bad with this lately, I’m sorry. I have requests from months ago that haven’t been sent out.
  • Instagram still posting there
  • Pinterest haven’t posted there as much lately.
