Not entirely sure what you're saying, but it seem's like a good Spanish summary

"tomar datos y....... despues unas cervecitas".

Get some data... later some beers.

Exactly!

"Hyper Hyper"? Erm. In a manner of speaking yes. Although I have been more hyper hyper on previous meet-ups

See also Known problems and this mailing list about relations

This is a known problem

There are a few issues around relations. Some relation tagging bugs were fixed on the API side late last night, but Potlatch still has problems displaying them.

Xapi runs one an separate external server and consumes osmosis diffs to synch it's database. 80n set this up using some freaky closed-source 'high-performance schemaless database'.

I could have shown it on this diagram, but then there's lots of things I could have shown on this diagram (I could should show the tile Postgres DB and osm2pgsql script as separate little boxes inside the tile server. I could show t@h clients connecting to the server. etc)

Correction. bigmap does include a 'Perl' link to download title stitching code, it just doesn't stitch tiles while you're using the interface itself. I just created the english wiki page : Bigmap

yes. we need to look at GetMap. Is it in SVN somewhere?

There's also a perl script somewhere which TomH created to powers the Export tab for generating Mapnik images (see export tab logic)

'bigmap.cgi' is a red herring. Although the interface is interesting, it's not actually stitching the tiles into a single image!

Hmmm. Keep thinking it's April already. Must be the weather. Let me fix that

Which week d'you mean exactly? My rough plan was Tuesday 17th March and Thursday 26th March, that's either side of (but not *too* close to) the API rollover weekend.

Then after, for the week before Easter weekend, I was thinking maybe Tuesday 7th April. Wed 8th there's a North Surrey meet-up.

I was intrigued to know what a pudding creek trestle looked like, so went hunting on flickr:

You're right of course. If it seemed like I was complaining about stuff being missing, that wasn't my intention. Shaun was telling me you live South of Liverpool, hence the spectacular progress on that side of the city!

I also spent new year in a place called Hellsby, nearby to the South of the Mersey. Quite a rural place. I was amazed to find there was bugger all mapping left to do there!

If you have suspicions about a particular user's contributions, follow the instructions here: FAQ#I think someone's been entering copyrighted data - how do we deal with that?

It does need to be dealt with carefully. We don't want to start making accusations willy nilly, but on the other hand (and this was the point Steve was making the other night) we need to take action swiftly to remove offending data in cases where it is clear-cut.

Well no we were actually a bit rubbish at figuring it out. Turned out the lat/lon was Earls court exhibition centre. There's an old wiki page called Tshirt competition. We should hold an actual competition some time, and do a print run of lots of them. Mind you I guess the SOTM T-shirt will be next on the agenda.

StRehm the Ulm map is looking pretty awesome.

Steve, the random pub meet-up after Liverpool Street will probably be North-East-ish I reckon. Need to decide still.

Well yes. That may have had something to do with it :-) I didn't get paid any overtime for a full on evening of mapping, promoting OpenStreetMap at the pub, and then going and inputting the map data... but hey, it is the kind of thing I do for fun!

Yeah. We need a larger army of contributors! The army is getting larger though.

Also updating nodes is much less technical than dealing with ways, so I'm hopeful that we might see fly-by contributions from local people to do simple POI updates, but some more dedicated OSMers will probably need to work on getting the POIs in there in the first place!

This weekend I went to a couple of those rivers in Wales you've been mapping. Got GPS traces in my kayak!

JOSM can now fetch Yahoo! Imagery using the 'WMS' plugin (not the 'YMWS' plugin) The installation steps are documented, but maybe not very clearly. I'll write down my experiences with view to adding this info somewhere on the wiki:

For windows you need to download webkit-image, unzip it, and move the contents so that the DLL files and the EXE file are somewhere "on your system path". The best way to achieve this might be to place them alongside josm-latest.jar Keep the 'imageformats' subfolder alongside too, so all the contents of the zip
Then restart JOSM and do 'WMS' menu -> YAHOO (Webkit).

The new behaviour of the WMS plugin (which is not yet documented), is that it dynamically fetches tiles of the background layer, as you scroll around in JOSM. Now I'm not sure how exactly this works, but you may need to be at a good imagery viewing zoom level (e.g. position the zoom level such that scale in the top left says ~150m)

...and then you wait. In my experience it can take up to 30 seconds for any imagery to appear. I don't know whether this delay is to do with the speed of yahoo serving the tiles, some delay initialising/running webkit, or a deliberate delay as part of the logic for deciding when and where to fetch tiles. If nothing appears after a minute, then it maybe isn't finding those DLL files correctly.

In my experience Potlatch has always been quite good at fetching Yahoo imagery. Of course you need to tell it do so (3rd icon at the bottom) and there can be a delay of 10 seconds or so before it shows any imagery, perhaps worsened by a slow internet connection, but apart from that I'm not sure why you might be having problems.

Heh. Yeah I've steered clear of the Beginners Guide for a long time because there's lots of awkward duplication and general mess in there, but I guess there is a demand for one-stop sequential guide. Pondering ways of improving it... but slash and burn is tempting

Don't worry I'm going to edit the beginners guide myself some time soon, and my ideas for JOSM UI tweaks I guess I should add as JOSM trac tickets

This time last year I used NPE a few times via WMS plugin. It was obvious to me at the time that the images were wonky, but it still came in handy as a sanity check / get my bearings within JOSM. Would be nice to have this within JOSM again some time (the better rectified images)

I have an older installation of JOSM (and WMS plugin) where the wonky NPE maps do still work. That's pointing at

But there's been some changes to the WMS plugin.
