[OSM-dev] Overpass DEV url?

I'm getting a bunch of data from the Overpass API, and about to test updating it.  I don't want to test on the live server, so I'm using http://api06.dev.openstreetmap.org/.

But the id's don't seem to work -- that is, the ID's that come back from overpass aren't  in (or are the same) as on the dev site.

Is there either an Overpass dev site I can use (to get the right id's), or is there another solution to testing that I'm not seeing?

Thanks,

Tac

[OSM-dev] Using Google Street View Player with my own panoramic images

Can any legal experts help me out?  I'm using Google's Street View player to look at panoramic images that I've taken, and would now like to update the OSM database to reflect what I see (stores, fire hydrants, etc.)

The Street View Player is not  explicitly spelled out in the terms of service:


Obviously, we can't use Google Street Views themselves (the images) nor the map data, so would there be any problem using the player to make a local database from non-Google panoramic images?  In particular, under

1. Use of the Products. Google grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access the Google Maps service, to download and use the Google Earth software and service, and to access the Content (as defined below) within the Products and according to the Terms.

2. Restrictions on Use. ...

(g) use the Products to create a database of places or other local listings information.         

"Products" seem to refer to the map contents, not the player to view images.  But wanted to run it by someone with more expertise before I start making OSM edits based on pictures I've taken being viewed in Google's Street View Player.

KRPano makes a panoramic image viewer, but needs WebGL to run as HTML5, otherwise it uses Flash, which I'd prefer to avoid.  Any other suggestions on an alternative player, should it be necessary?

Thanks,

Tac

[OSM-dev] Ads for front page - Proposed solutions

Hi,

I have no idea what the CWG vote was on and I can't find the up to date minutes to check it. Despite this, you much surely recognise the issue. For example, even if we restrict the banners to just those promoting conferences then we could easily have a rotation of 5 or more banners:

* SOTM
* SOTM-EU
* SOTM-US
* OSM Plus
* SOTM Scotland
* etc..

Extend this to other non-conference meet-ups and the number could easily quadruple.


== Possible Solutions ==

A good place to start is to improve the events page. At the moment we have the wiki events calendar and http://calendar.openstreetmap.org.uk/map . The wiki is complicated - I have no idea how to add an event to this, but things could be improved. This events page can then have it's own dedicated banner on osm.org.

To help boost awareness, there are several solutions. Here in the West Midlands, UK, we keep an eye out for new active mappers and message those who are more active through the OSM messaging system. During the summer months we take our monthly meet-up on tour to increase participation in smaller towns away from Birmingham. This works well. Furthermore, we also keep an eye out for local "Open Data" / "Hack days" or similar, and try to ensure that at least one OSM member attends each event.

I also believe that a email distribution list would help. The concern is that nobody has signed up to an email when they joined OSM so perhaps we cannot start emailing them without an opt in. This is not an issue for me as we can create a sign-up page and promote it on OSM.org for the next few months. The current OSM new member sign up procedure can be changed to include the opt-in for emails.

In my opinion, you could have people sign up to two email distributions:

1. A general monthly OSM update (based on the monthly blogs that are already being written)
2. An events email. For this people sign up to receive monthly emails about events within a user specified geographical region (e.g. x miles/km of some point).

Regrettably, my technical skills aren't up to much, so I would struggle to do the 2nd. I am however happy to help with the first if (i) Pascal, Dennis and the “Wochennotiz” guys are happy for me to repost some of their content, (ii) I get reassurances that I can advertise the email sign up via a banner on osm.org for a period of 3 to 6 months, and (iii) the new member sign up procedure is updated.


Hope this inspires some more possible solutions,
Rob

[OSM-dev] Street View Integration; OAuth 1.0a?

Hi, I'm new to the list, wanted to introduce myself.  I'm Tac Tacelosky, a developer in Washington DC working on an editor that would allow people looking at panoramic images (aka "street views"), to create and edit  OSM amenities and other elements.   We are a North American distributor for a panoramic camera system, and I'm particularly excited about the possibility of integrating street views with OSM and how much faster we'll be able to populate the OSM database.

I've taken about 15,000 panoramic pictures that we'll be posting soon that will be able to be used by OSM Mappers.

I wanted to confirm that the API is still using OAuth 1.0 and not 1.0a or 2.0.  Is there any development going on in that area?  Or any recommendations / advice?

Thanks,

Tac

[OSM-dev] AIO Styles


Hi,

is anyone still maintaining the AIO styles? It seems most of
it is unmaintained and throws warnings about deprecated usage of
display_name in current mkgmap versions.

[OSM-dev] incomplete import with osm2pgsql 0.83 från sweden.osm.pbf

Hi!

I get some ( seemlingly random) missing lakes when importing from the 
geofabrik.de planet.osm extract "sweden.osm.pbf".

I do like this :
wget http://download.geofabrik.de/europe/sweden-latest.osm.pbf
osm2pgsql -s -m -d gis sweden-latest.osm.pbf

(removed custom default.style and bbox for debugging, still same)

Result: 20% of lakes seems missing. Esp larger like "Mälaren" and 
"Hjälmaren", but also som smaller. I addition to seeing the missing lakes 
with mapnik, I have tried looking for them with psql queries and by 
loading planet_osm_polygon in qgis.

The lakes are present when I look at the data with josm. I *could* 
probably download a planet.osm and compare, but it would the a bit over my 
current availible computing capacity.

(and no, there seems to be no polygons at all imported for the missing 
lakes, tagged natural=water or not)

osm2pgsql is lastest from git (tried stable too), database is normal 
postgres 9.1 / postgis 2.0.3 on debian 7.0 amd64.

anything obvious forgotten?

[OSM-dev] What about Windows 8?

Hi,
Has anyone tried to use OpenStreetMap on a Windows 8 tablet? Is the multitouch feature working fine, zoom-in/zoom-out?

Thank you

[OSM-dev] Problem in recent potlatch2?

Not sure if this is already known, I just spotted a recent PL2 edit where a way with 1 node on 0,0 was created, probably a bug.

cheers,
Martin

[OSM-dev] Querying Changeset tags in OSM API

Hi,

I'm curious if there's any current capabilities to filter entire objects based on the tags used on the changeset. I'm on the CAP103 team in Northern Haiti with HOT and we'd like to filter objects modified by mappers that we are training by querying changesets within a specific bbox that have a specific tag like Project=CAP103 instead of adding a tag to each object and making a query based on the object's tag.  We are doing this in order to analyze how many objects were created and modified by our 40+ mappers.
 
I'd prefer to do this through a server-side interface (XAPI) but would be open to client-side filtering options like osmosis.

Any advice and help is appreciated.

Regards,
Will
