Vespucci 15.1 has been available for a couple of days now from googles play store marking the third larger release (14.1, 15.0 and 15.1) this year and our traditional release for the holiday season.

Details on what has changed can be found further down, but first let me point out a few important points from the past year and things to be aware about that will be happening in 2021.

The OSMF and iD

2020 marked the OSMF becoming a participant in the OSM editor market place, you might say what does that concern me? Well, even if not all the developers are competing for funding (like iD, Rapid, StreetComplete and many others), all are competing for relevance. Or put differently: mapper market share. How exactly this will play out going forward isn’t clear yet, but it already has consequences in development, for example I’ve put all tablet related improvements on hold. The required effort just doesn’t makes sense with the OSMF expanding iDs use outside of the classic desktop on to tablets..

More https/SSL woes

A couple of weeks back Let’s Encrypt dropped a bomb. Let’s Encrypt is by far the most popular provider of free encryption keys for https use, and are widely used throughout open source and data, and the OpenStreetMap ecosystems. For example Let’s Encrypt certificates are used on all OSM infrastructure that has so fully migrated to https that use without is no longer possible.

Android 7.1 as the oldest version that will no longer work with Let’s Encyrpt is fairly young, and lots of users are “still”* using it. An estimated 33% of the 2.5 billion Android devices will be effected. So we can’t simply ignore this happening.

OSMCha helps analyze, inspect, and verify changes in OpenStreetMap as they happen. The entire team building OSMCha has been proud to see its wide adoption by individual contributors and companies in the OpenStreetMap community. I continue working on OSMCha through support from Mapbox, who have been using and helping develop and host OSMCha for years. The Mapbox Data RAVE team uses OSMCha everyday as part of their work validating changes in OpenStreetMap.

That’s why it’s essential that OSMCha is operationally excellent, with dependable uptime and a team on hand to handle issues and deployments. Since the beginning of the year, I worked closely with the “RAVE tooling” team to improve the infrastructure setup for OSMCha for better performance, instituted on call support, and moved the service to the osmcha.org domain. I continue to work hard to maintain the OSMCha open source code base and community and develop new features. There’s many useful new features and more to come.

너님들도 그럼..?

Welcome to hot_tech…Hya, Diana, Lily, Rob

So as everyone is well aware, it’s time to scale up time over here and hot_tech is no exception. We have been afforded an ‘Audacious’ (https://www.hotosm.org/projects/audacious/) opportunity to welcome some impressive new talent into the fold. I was once told never to assume you’re the smartest in the room and with the addition of these four new team members, I know for sure that I am not.

So, let me be the first to share with you a quick intro to each of the new team members, why they decided to join us and why we wanted them to be a part of the team. I have just done a short bio here for each, but you can read the full post over here » hot_tech blog

OpenStreetMap Calendar is here for over a year and now we’re ready to make the next step: Let’s unify forces and put osmcal onto the wiki’s main page. Thanks to the microgrant, I was able to dedicate a good amount of time to extend the software ecosystem and make osmcal ready for everyone.

The OSM Wiki now has an osmcal extension, which makes integrating a calendar into any wiki page as simple as typing <osmcal />. It even supports filtered calendars, e.g. the United States wiki page contains all upcoming events just in the US.

The logical next step is to deduplicate the work needed to publish an event, so we’re aiming to switch the calendar template inside the wiki towards the end of 2020, so for 2021 events you only need to put events into osmcal and they’ll be available anywhere.

There are some cool external integrations which reach even more people:

Bu listeyi uzunca bir araştırma sonucu ortaya çıkardım. Linkler kent rehberine çıkmıyorsa veya ölüyse lütfen bana bildirin. Eğer listede mevcut olmayan bir kent rehberinden haberiniz varsa yine lütfen bana haber verin.

Türkiye Geneli

• https://bulutkbs.gov.tr/Rehber/#/app

• Mahalle sınırları için kısmen iyi bir kaynak; ancak çoğu ildeki köylerin sınırları beşgen, altıgen gibi şekillerle gösteriliyor. İstanbul, Kocaeli, Yalova, Afyonkarahisar, Muğla, Gaziantep, Elazığ ve Bingöl tam olmasa bile iyi durumda diyebilirim; bunların dışında kalan illerin taşradaki yerleşimlerinin sınırları için önermem. Yalnız sokak adları ve numarataj tam. (2026 güncelleme: Eskişehir, Kütahya, Yozgat, Bitlis ve Isparta gibi bazı illerde bazı sınırlar beşgen şeklinde olsa da merkez mahalleler için iyi denebilecek bir kaynak (yine de NVİ Adres Sorgu’dan kontrol etmekte fayda var). Büyükşehir olmayan illerde köyler ve büyükşehirlerde kırsal mahallelerin sınırları için Parsel Sorgu daha doğru sınırları veriyor.)

• https://parselsorgu.tkgm.gov.tr/

• Köy ve kırsal mahalle sınırları için genellikle ideal; ancak bazı köylerin tapu sınırları kaymış olabilmekte, bazı köylerin tapu sınırları ise sisteme eklenmemiş durumda. Merkez mahalleler için genelde tavsiye etmem.

• https://adres.nvi.gov.tr/VatandasIslemleri/AdresKisiSorgu
• Büyükşehirlerdeki tüm, büyükşehir olmayan illerin yalnızca il, ilçe ve belde merkezlerindeki mahallelerin sınırları için ideal; ancak köy sınırları bütün olarak gösterilmiyor, yerine köyün kendisi ve mahalleleri ayriyeten gösteriliyor. Bunun dışında bir eksi yanı ise maalesef uydu görüntüsü olmaması; ancak bu sorun parsel haritası veya başka bir rehberle halledilebilir.

une révision des éditions autour du carrefour Node: 6866858324.

c’est quoi, ce texte?

il s’agit de R.Q. qui je ne connais pas, qui à travers de la plateforme anonymisant Telegram m’a demandé mon avis autour de la zone du carrefour là. Le but n’est pas seul de améliorer les éditions indiquées, mais d’aider d’autres cartographes de la même zone.

quelles characteristiques a la zone la ?

la zone est rurale, avec construction récente, les bâtiments groupé et la terre agricole comprend des vergers.

les maisons ont une cour intérieur ou arrière, peut être un espace pour les animaux.

la photo Maxar est plus à jour que la photo Bing, mais la qualité Bing est superieure.

il y avait des routes, tracées par AI/Apple, basées peut être sur Maxar.

comment commencer ?

Tout d’abord, il faut aligner les deux sources, je vais le faire en dessinant un objet arbitraire, qui repose à plat sur le sol, bien visible sur le deux photos.

Faisant confiance au choix d’Apple pour Maxar, j’aligne Bing sur Maxar, c’est a dire je dessine l’objet sur Maxar puis je déplace Bing.

Ensuite, je sélectionne tous les points pas alignées avec les rues, (en JOSM: Ctrl-f, puis la sélection type:node user:XXXYYY), et les déplace pour qu’ils correspondent à la position des objets dans les deux images. Ça me solutionne presque tous les conflits entre rues et bâtiments.

qu’est ce que c’est notre tâche ?

À mon avis, l’extension des bâtiments a été systématiquement surestimé, la tâche est donc de répéter la sélection de l’un d’entre eux et de le réduire. nous pouvons le faire avec JOSM «Améliorer le mode de précision» (w).

là où les bâtiments partagent un nœud, je sépare le nœud de l’un des bâtiments, en sélectionnant bâtiment (clic) et nœud (Ctrl-clic) et en appuyant sur Alt-j.

comment le faire, ça ?

Hello OSM.

Shamed to think that after almost 4 years of contributing (under various usernames) that I’ve never properly indulged in writing my experiences in an OSM diary. Today this changes. Hilariously, the first post feels like the hardest to write (in fact, it’s been on my ‘to do’ list for about 3 months).

There are many things that I want to write about: reflections on recent events, inspiring statements and stimulating conversations around hOSM community, joining LCCWG, my admiration for the speed and vitality of the development of the “Call to Take Action and Confront Systemic Offensive Behaviour in the OSM Community”, and even my frustration in differentiating between flat number and house number tags (more of that exciting topic to come in future posts!).

But for now, I’ll start with introducing myself:

Hello, I’m Sophie. Contributor to Maps.me since 2016. Missing Maps volunteer since 2017, MM facilitator since 2018 (corporate mapathons), HOT employee since April 2020. Lives in Cambridge, UK.

Nice to meet you!

Suddenly I discovered that everyone’s favorite Strava, Komut, as well as bike navigators are using OSM as work maps. And all these paths in the forest that appear out of nowhere on the route (there weren’t any on the map!), You can add yourself. Which I did, importing tracks from Strava and looking for unmapped places where I drove. I feel like a cartographer of Mars

OSMのデータをベースにした様々な主題の地図が公開されており、それらを見るのが楽しく、それによりまたデータ入力の意欲が高まる。

順不同でいくつか紹介しよう。

f4map

https://demo.f4map.com/#lat=34.7025870&lon=135.4969637&zoom=17

3D表示ができる地図。見ている時刻によってリアルタイムで実際の太陽の位置からの光が投影されて影ができる。 OSMで建物の階数、色、屋根の形状などを記述していたら、その通りに表現してくれる。 また建設中の土地ではクレーンがアニメーションで動いている。（コンテナバースに配置したクレーンも動く） こちらも見ているだけで楽しい。 この地図を見てから、建物の階数や色なども入れようという気になった。

Open Infra Map

https://openinframap.org/#12.55/34.69834/135.49511

インフラとある通り、電力、通信、石油、水関連のインフラを強調した地図。 一番目立つのは送電線や太陽光発電、風力発電の風車や通信用のアンテナ。 送電塔好きには塔マップ（ https://10map.net/ ）というのもあるが、OSMの方が塔や送電線のデザイン・使用などを種々のタグで表現できるので、OSMの方が絶対楽しいのになと思ってしまう。 私はOSMを始めてから送電塔もしげしげと見るようになってしまった（そしてマッピング）。

Historical Objects

(歴史的なオブジェクトの表示地図)

http://gk.historic.place/historische_objekte/l/ja/index.html

歴史的な地物 (historicのタグを持つものなど) を主に表示する地図。 OSMの標準地図では表示されないものも含めて表示してくれるので、歴史好きにはよい。 地物をクリックするだけでタグの詳細も見ることができる。 こちらも、歴史的地物の入力の励みになる。

Waymarked Trails

https://hiking.waymarkedtrails.org/#?map=10.385453825154583!35.3522!136.6291

こちらはハイキングやサイクリングなどのルートをリレーションで登録していたらそれを強調表示してくれ、クリックするとタグの詳細も表示される。 昔の街道のルートなどを見るのによさそう。

OSMの交通レイヤ

osm.org/#map=14/34.6972/135.5247&layers=T

鉄道やバス路線を強調表示してくれる地図。 バス路線があるかな？というのをざっくり確認するにはわかりやすい。

OpenTopoMap

https://opentopomap.org/#map=11/35.3415/-221.3628

等高線表示してくれる地図。 標準のOSM地図を見て、等高線表示をしてくれると良いなと思うことがままある。 その等高線表示してくれる地図を昨日見つけた。 だからどうやって実現しているのか？いまいちよくわかってないが、まぁそれなりに正確なんかなと思う。

I am writing (again) about the Divide and map. Now. The idea of the project is to divide up a big area to organize mapping better. In this note, I will share how I was thinking about the mapping workflow from the beginning, how I finally improved it, and how I hesitated but broke the workflow in the end. And I am sure I did right.

The mapping workflow

The workflow copies a mapathon. Many guys are mapping one area. Few of them are reviewing the work of colleagues. They are locking squares of the area to avoid rewriting the data under their hands.

Since the beginning, it’s possible to lock random or recent square. Mapping guys lock random squares. The reviewing guys lock recent ones to provide feedback to the mappers as soon as possible.

Implementation details
----------------------

Feel free to skip code notes if you are not interested in the code.

There is some background I need to share before showing the SQL query: 

- The server is RESTful.
- Changes to squares work the same as git commits.

(It means that the first commit of any square is `to map`. Then mapper locks a random square adding the `locked` commit to the database. When finished, the mapper adds the `to review` commit. Then the `locked` commit is added again by a reviewer who finally adds the `done` commit.)

The important thing is that no one can delete a commit. Just add. Also, there is no square state. Square consists only of area identifier, square identifier, and border. If you need to know the square's "state," you need to look at the square's last commit.

Finally, the query to map random square is:

    WITH last AS (
	SELECT DISTINCT ON (sid) cid, sid, aid, type, author
	FROM current_commits
	WHERE aid=$1
	ORDER BY sid, cid DESC
    ),
    tomap AS (
	SELECT *
	FROM last
	WHERE type='to map'
	ORDER BY RANDOM()
	LIMIT 1
    )
    INSERT INTO current_commits (sid, aid, author, type, message)
    SELECT sid, $1, $2, 'locked', 'I am mapping'
    FROM tomap
    RETURNING sid

In the context of the 2020 OpenStreetMap Foundation Board Election,
- The Call to Take Action… has been collaboartively produced and endorsed by hundreds of individuals and dozens of organizations from OSM, Open Data and FreeSoftware mouvements
- It triggered discussions Archive as well as a Board decision
Below reads a few thoughts on the recent email conversations [1] at the origin of the “Call to Take Action and Confront Systemic Offensive Behaviour in the OSM Community” which lead to this 10-Dec 2020 Board decision and the proposed course of action.
I added a position statement following a comment on the first version of this diary entry.
