Les semaines se ressemblent pour le moment. Comme la dernière fois, je me suis surtout concentré sur OpenHistoricalMap et un peu moins sur OSM même.

Constat similaire avec les vidéos vu que deux des trois sont de nouveau sur OHM :

Améliorons Seraing (sur OpenStreetMap) - Épisode 31 (Le PICC et ses défauts) - Version live de ce changeset où je montre quelques défauts du PICC et pourquoi vérifier sur le terrain reste important

Seraing Autrefois (sur OpenHistoricalMap) - Épisode 6 (La voie de Lyse) - Version live de ce changeset dans lequel j’ajoute une partie de l’ancien chemin vicinal n°3 et sa descendance moderne

Seraing Autrefois (sur OpenHistoricalMap) - Épisode 7 (Lahaye du Pavion du Prince) - Version live de ce changeset où j’ajoute/corrige les anciens chemins vicinaux n°21/24/25

Et voilà, toujours un peu en panne d’inspiration sur OSM et j’espère que ça reviendra vite 😉

A+

I am really excited to finally share some tangible progress on OpenStreetMap NextGen! While I have been working on this project almost day-by-day for the past 3 months, just recently I reached the point of launching the website (for now locally) and begun development of its frontend features.

OpenStreetMap-NG has grown immensely in scope since the original announcement. Now the project not only focuses on core performance, usability, and accessibility but also on improving the user-facing interface and experience. I want this project to truly stand by its name, providing NextGen value to all aspects of the website. And so far, it’s on the right track.

So far, the number of improvements is counted in hundreds, including but not limited to various bug-fixes, performance optimizations, privacy, and security enhancements. And the list keeps on growing!

Nejde si nevšimnout, jak se průběžně krajina proměňuje.

Vysychající potoky

Zakreslené drobné vodní toky bývají na nových ortofotomapách v porovnání s minulostí velmi neznatelné, nebo zcela mizející. Ani vegetace už tam není zcela stejná, jako bývala. Když tyto stopy po bývalém potoku vidím, zkoumám, zda jeho nepřítomnost není z důvodů, že byl tok uměle vedený jinudy, nebo zda nebyl zatrubněný nebo ovlivněný meliorací, která i po desítkách let stále pod zemí odvodňuje pole. Zatrubněné toky pod zemědělskou půdou se dají občas poznat i z fotomapy, v toku se vyskytují na poli studny, nebo skruže. Tvar krajiny také napovídá, kde se svažuje povrch do údolí.

Jsou prostě místa, která mají a budou mít méně vody. Souvisí to i s přirozeným lesním pokryvem, který zejména po kůrovcové kalamitě obdržel na některých místech citelné rány. Kde není les, nebude ani voda. Potůčky na mapě nechávám, ale měním jim část horního toku na vysychající.

Mizející menší rybníky

Další známky změn vodního režimu jsou menší vodní plochy nedaleko potoků, bývají to bývalé, neudržované rybníky, o které majitelé ztratili zájem a nevyvíjí úsilí o jejich obnovu. Proč by to také dělali, když v okolí není dostatek vody a “nic z toho nemají” ? Tyto vodní plochy se z rybníků mění na mokřiny a na mokré louky, někdy rychle zarostou náletem a dál už děj se vůle Boží. Některá místa sloužila jako sezónní napajedlo pro dobytek na pastvě a když už se dobytek na louce nepase, ani zde není důvod obnovy.

Další roky plocha bývalé hladiny buď zaroste vegetací, nebo jí těžké traktory rozorají a rozšíří zde louku, nebo ornou půdu.

Občas vznikají i nové vodní nádrže, nebo rybníky, ty mají ale podle fotografií i tvaru svůj jasně vymezený účel a roli. Pozná se to podle vybudované hráze i stavidla, příjezdových cest a dalších znaků lidské činnosti.

В основном вношу информацию об объектах расположенных в г. Курск. Охватываю небольшие участки чтоб указать как можно больше объектов и как можно точнее их местоположение. Стараюсь вносить как можно больше информации в один объект чтоб пользователь мог получить исчерпывающую информацию о том или ином объекте, в рамках допустимого конечно. Что вижу, то вношу, по возможности перепроверяю.

Had a meeting on how to get members to join the OSMF. Strategy plans were out on how to achieve that.

ร้านอาหาร

Japan 🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵

It would seem that wine bars match the description for an “amenity=pub”.

It resonates strangely.

I have used bar in the past but feel kind of dirty for doing that because they often are not lively and standing room only.

They are more like cocktail lounges than bars but how are cocktail lounges tagged?

Even cocktail lounges seem more like pubs than bars.

These “bars” sans lively atmosphere in possession of available and comfortable seating are another creature.

What is the alternative?

Visando o importante Município de Saúde, um grande polo turístico e econômico regional. O Município é também o mais importante para a história da região, pois foi nele que os primeiros índios Payayas chegaram e fundaram seus povoados, e posteriormente, os bandeirantes paulistas. Em meio a Mata Atlântica e Grota, a vegetação é verde e encantadora. Saúde é um grande município agricultor, com foco nas bananas, trigo, leite, mel, caqui, etc… Saúde também é repleto de minérios, por isso, existe diversas mineradoras legais, e infelizmente, ilegais. Infelizmente, o contrabando de minério é muito comum em Saúde, e acaba adoecendo os cidadãos que trabalham em meio ao perigo da mineração ilegal. Além de contaminação dos rios, que foi o que aconteceu com o Rio Payaya, devido a uma mina ilegal de diamante.

Saúde é um importante município da Região Piemonte Norte da Chapada Diamantina, em contexto de história, religião, natureza, turismo, economia e influência.

На скриншоте присутствуют:

• улица Наполеона Орды

• улица Немцевича

И у зданий весьма неочевидная принадлежность к улицам. Не каждый Друзь сможет в эту логику.

We had a meeting with Arnalie on the membership drive in OSMF.

YouthMappers at Eastern University recently organized a dynamic and engaging day-long session focused on the theme ‘Connecting with Community: Let’s Switch to Mapping.’ The event, held on February 07, 2024, at Eastern University, brought together students, and community members to explore the power of mapping in community development and engagement. The session featured a diverse range of topics, including Community Development, Leadership Training, Women’s Participation, Problem-Solving, Kobo Toolbox, Data Collection and Analysis. Led by Youthmappers Regional Ambassador, Amena Rashid Bania, the session provided valuable insights and practical skills for participants to enhance their understanding of mapping technologies and their applications in community initiatives. In addition to the informative sessions, the event also included hands-on workshops on Mobile Mapping conducted by regional ambassador Nishan Ariyal, and Mapping Techniques led by Brazil Singh, President of YouthMappers at Eastern University, Bangladesh chapter. Brazil Singh, a prominent figure in the OpenStreetMap (OSM) community, is recognized as an Open Mapping Guru Fellow in the Asia Pacific Region, bringing a wealth of experience and expertise to the session. Guest Speaker Sawan Sahriar, regional Ambassador of Youthmappers, graced the event with his presence and delivered an inspiring talk on OpenStreetMap and Mapping Tasks. His insights and knowledge added a valuable dimension to the session, inspiring participants to explore the possibilities of mapping in community engagement.

my prolonged OSM diary about my experienced as an OSMF board member. Apologies for the delay!

Some background and tips to prepare as a board member

I joined the OSMF Board in Dec 2022 and this is my first time to hold a board member position! You can check my manifesto and answers to board election questions. I’d like to go back to this to check my progress and what needs to improve.

Since it is a new role, it really is intimidating at first! Even though I have talked with other open community and geo board members, it is different once you are in!

Some of the best tips I got are:

• Talk with leaders and people you know who have board member experience, learn from them and would be good if they can support / mentor you :)
• There is a free board member essentials available online (e.g. this Nonprofit Board Essentials from disasterready.org) so better try it and have an assessment of you board member potentials (don’t get too pressured, you will learn as you go!)
• Be a board member while you still have the time and capacity :) I am a full time mother and working woman so it was a hard decision to make; but then I realize, if I want to be a board member, I’ll better do it now since I have the capacity and interest! :)
• Two years seems like a long time but not really! You will have ideals and goals so better make that best out of it!
• Also remember, change takes time. Don’t overfrustrate yourself ;)

What happened in 2023, then?

Last year came by so fast. I am not so proud of what I have accomplished as a board as I have had some health challenges. It was a learning experience (the success and failures) for me!

With support from fellow board members, working groups, and community members, in 2023, we have accomplished:

I’m currently in the process of tagging historical highways in Venango County. Unfortunately, there’s no online database or public PennDOT sources for old legislative routes in Pennsylvania other than historical County Type 10 maps. I will attempt to use this diary to create a listing of old legislative routes and their modern LRS equivalents within Venango County as I add the appropriate old_ref:legislative tags to OpenStreetMap and add the road to Open Historical Map.

History and Description

Legislative routes were formed from the Sproul Road Bill in 1911 and existed until 1987 when the current location referencing system became in use.

This week’s weeklyOSM #707 wonders aloud whether Flørauden is the most heavily tagged node in OSM. Why wonder when OSM query engines like QLever can tell us for certain?

In fact, at a mere 283 tags, this lighthouse is a featherweight compared to the top ten nodes, which are all place=country nodes weighed down by linguistic and diplomatic considerations. The most heavily tagged node of any kind has a well-known name, alt_name, official_name, and old_name in many languages.

Excluding place=country, most of the top ten nodes are place=city and place=continent nodes. But the node in sixth place caught my attention: some 250 tags on a children’s clothing store, mostly about payment methods. One is only left to wonder if a customer, paralyzed by all the options, may resort to bartering. This vandalism was removed three weeks ago, but QLever hasn’t updated to a newer Turtle extract that contains the fix.

Excluding all place=* nodes, the now payment-ambiguous clothing store, and a duplicate Sri Lanka node that was accidentally stripped of its place=country tag (now fixed)… the other most heavily tagged nodes are all seamarks – lighthouses and lighted beacons.

Flørauden was 16th among seamarks until it shot up to the top a couple weeks ago. Now, with 27 different seamark:light objects tagged on it, no other seamark comes close to it in the number of seamark:light:* subkeys.

This lighthouse may not set a record, but it does illustrate why the seamark tagging scheme unusually relies on numbered subkeys instead of parallel semicolon-delimited tags. The street parking tagging scheme used to do something similar before we simplified it a couple years ago, but back then, even a notoriously well-signposted street could only muster a puny 60 tags.

Now all we need is for Null Island to become a seamark, island nation, and international security incident.

What appears are two separate man-made geoglyphs, 300m x 500m (human) and 200m x 200m (bull), of what appears to be etched on a gently graded terrain is a human and a bull oriented north to south. The two figures is targeted with several concentrically oriented Nazca lines.

14°47′38″S, 75°4′15″W -14.7940031, -75.0709680 Nazca, Province of Nasca, Ica, 11401, Peru

The figures suggest a man-made geoglyph of a human being chased by a bull which appears to be in pursuit of him It is very unclear why the bear is chasing him. The man appears to be carrying a blanket, wearing lose fitting outfit and wearing shoes. The bull behind him has long pointy horns and appears to be drawn as if he is chasing him.

Awaiting better mapping to confirm additional linework.

Along with the inhabitants, bulls have been recorded in these local areas.

Ich, opasto,war altershalber längere Zeit nicht mehr aktiv. Nun wollte ich mich mal wieder einschalten. Also Firefox aufgerufen, Konto OSM aufgerufen, Benutzername und Passwort sind schon voreingestellt, Anmelden: Nun heisse ich plötzlich dan34 und habe mit den dort gezeigten Beiträgen nichts zu tun. Ich bin also mit richtigem Benutzername und meinem dazugehörenden Passwort bei einem falschen Benutzer gelandet. Ist mein Benutzername wegen meiner längeren Abwesenheit freigegeben worden und dan34 hat sich zufällig mit demselben Benutzernamen und Passwort neu angemeldet? Sehr unwahrscheinlich! Anderer Zugang: osm.org/ rechts oben ist opasto voreingestellt, gehe zum heimatstandort: Der wird korrekt gefunden. Auch andere Daten über diesen Zugang stimmen. Nun habe ich meinen Eintrag für OSM in Firefox untersucht: Und der lautet jetzt tatsächlich osm.org/login?referer=%2Fuser%2Fdan34 Wie kann sowas geschehen?? Nach meiner Erinnerung habe ich mit dan34 nie etwas zu tun gehabt. Ob ich irgendwann mal einen Beitrag von dan34 gelesen habe? Dies übersteigt mein Erinnerungsvermögen.
