I’m still late : I was supposed to do a municipality with the letter H today. I probably won’t do the letter I tomorrow either, nor Wednesday, however I’m pretty sure I will be able to on thursday.

Today, I worked on Gaillefontaine. For a rural city it is actually pretty diverse in terms of construction : the center has historic buildings, but it is mainly surrounded by single-family homes. The northwest has an industrial area though, and it looks like there are monuments on the southeast.

Volunteerism, commitment, and dedication are our hallmarks as YouthMappers!

Now, repeat after me: YouthMappers Ghana… Right! We volunteered to contribute to developing a sustainable, eco-friendly urban environment in Koforidua collaboratively, and collectively (SDG 11). Using OpenStreetMap to put streets and landmarks in the right places—because let’s be honest, we’ve all been “LOST” thanks to outdated maps nau…! 😅 This is what we do while building technical skills. 🖐🏾High five to all contributors, validators, Bullet OSM and OSM Ghana.

Un certain nombre de contributeurs à OpenStreetMap de la région toulousaine se rencontre de manière très informelle un samedi par mois dans les locaux d’Artilect.

J’aime beaucoup le projet et je pense être un contributeur assez actif, mais je ne me rends presque jamais à “nos réunions”, pour les raisons suivantes :

• Ma Femme travaille dans son salon de thé le week-end, je garde donc les enfants.
• les enfants, surtout le dernier a souvent un plateau ou un tournoi de rugby
• je dois faire les courses, le ménage et tutti quanti
• Toulouse, ce n’est pas vraiment loin, mais ça le devient parce que les transports en communs le week-end c’est quand même moins fréquent qu’en semaine.

Bref, ce week-end, je n’avais pas les enfants et du temps. Je m’y suis donc rendu. Au programme, roptat nous a présenté l’outil ptna, qui permet de cartographier et vérifier les lignes des différentes formes de transport en commun (train, bus, car). C’est un super outil et dans la région où je vie, il ne prend en compte que Tisséo : les lignes toulousaines (https://ptna.openstreetmap.de/results/FR/index.php). Si l’on regarde sur le portail opendata du gouvernement Il manque au moins Narbonne, Montpellier, Alès etc. Il y a donc beaucoup de chose à intégrer, à vérifier, Bref une présentation bien utile.

Ensuite, nous avons rapidement discuté de notre présence à devfest Toulouse, au capitole du libre et de notre prochaine cartofête.

J’ai lancé l’idée d’aller dans le Gers pour la prochaine cartofête et de le faire dans le premier semestre de l’année prochaine, car un certain nombre de personnes présent sont déjà complétement occupés d’ici à la fin de l’année. Je ferrais prochainement une annonce sur les forums.

В недавней дискуссии на тему внешнего хранилища 3d моделей уважаемый pfg21 написал:

в полноценных модельках есть/нужны текстурные наложения, а формат осм - текстовый.

Вне всякого сомнения, текстурированные модели лучше, чем нетекстурированные.

Но каким образом текстовый формат противоречит наличию/необходимости текстурных наложений, я как ни стараюсь, понять не могу.

Cделать внешнюю информационную помойку базу абы как сделанных 3D моделей, причем с растровыми текстурами, за 20 лет ни у кого не получилось, даже у гугла с его 3D Warehouse. Его осмовский аналог, 3dmr за шесть лет своего существования собрал 40 (прописью: сорок ) моделек, причем даже не все из них здания.

Гугл от своей информационной помойки тоже отказался, кажется, в пользу фотограмметрии.

Тут бы задать себе вопрос, ПОЧЕМУ так. И другой вопрос, ЧТО бы могло взлететь вместо этого.

Вот например osm2world умеет и в текстурные наложения, и даже в полигональные окна.

Whoof! It’s my first Diary entry.

Today, I worked on Fallencourt. This village is smaller than the previous ones I worked on for my challenge, however something big is nearby, the A28 highway (I’d guess it creates quite a lot of noise). There is a bus stop in the center, however it isn’t used as far as I know, apart maybe by school buses.

a small project of mine over the last few years (in my spare time, when I’m not doing the job I get paid to do) is to map every building in the Kingston and new Malden area of SW London.

This is slow progress although I have now nearly finished all but a small part of Old Malden and an area of North Kingston. Although slow, the map does now look aesthetically significantly better than it did two years ago. although I am aware it could be improved further by putting house numbers on each building, I do have to keep my mental health in check here.

The Previously patchy; Berrylands, Norbiton, and Surbiton have now all been finished with finishing Old Malden being my next project and then Coombe and Ham Kingston Vale, being my next major projects

I have always found it frustrating that people will often do one or two houses on the road and then get either bored (or do their own house).

These diary entries are more to help me keep track of what iv done to date as well as give a minor update to the larger community on the slow updates.

Yes I know, I already missed a day for my challenge. Apologies, I will do 2 cities tomorrow.

Today, I worked on Écalles-Alix. For once, it’s not only sngle-family detached houses, as there are a few semi-detached houses (yeah not much better but still)

Dear OpenStreetMap Community and fellow mappers,

After writing to you in 2022 and 2023, you could think that these chairman reports would become pretty routine: compare a few numbers over time, tout the accomplishments of the OSMF board this year, and give a few paths for the coming year. I will be doing this, but in contrast to previous years, we do not have many positive changes to report on, because of the way the board has been (not) working. I will expand on why later, and talk about how I think the board should refocus in 2025. What might sound like board internal politics is actually, I think, at the core of how we organise as a project. This hasn’t been an easy report to write, which is why it comes so late.

We have 2088 members today, down from 2161 in December 2023, compared with about 2000 in December 2022. 1125 members today are associated members, and the 2024 membership campaign led by Arnalie at least helped diversify our membership’s geographic diversity. The next board should budget for changes to the website to recognise membership, and encourage qualifying mappers to join for an associate membership. It should also rethink the current complex membership structure, and look at technical improvements to the membership system.

We were happy to welcome Regrid, QGIS and Calimoto as silver corporate members in 2024.

Our number of registered users went down to 9851706 from 10.5 million as OWG cleaned up thousands of spam accounts. The number of nodes, ways and relations in the database keeps increasing at a normal rate, showing our growth and demonstrating how contributing to OpenStreetMap is important to many.

I was round that way this morning and confirm that there is no number 38 Crammond Place. One row finishes at 37 and the adjacent row starts at 39!

I have lived in North Muirton since 1973 and never realised this obscure fact until mapping the area.

I think, but don’t know for definite, that it is because there used to be (in the early years of NM) a council rent office in the row 39-47 which maybe didn’t have a house number and this has caused a “missing” house when the rent office ceased to be.

In the unlikely event anyone who knows reads this stuff then please let me know.

Setiap tahunnya Ikatan Bujang Gadis Unsri mengadakan pemilihan Bujang Gadis Universitas Sriwijaya. Kegiatan ini diikuti oleh 60 peserta pra semi finalis Bujang Gadis Universitas Sriwijaya 2024. Tahun ini diselenggarakan di Aula D3 Fakultas Ekonomi Universitas Sriwijaya dan berlangsung selama bulan oktober. Peserta yang hadir berasal dari berbagai macam jurusan seperti ekonomi, keguruan, teknik, hubungan internasional dan lain sebagainya.

Pada kegiatan kali ini saya berkesempatan mengisi salah satu materi yaitu memperkenalkan definisi pemetaan, aplikasi pemetaan dan kegunaan dari peta. Tidak hanya untuk mahasiswa yang berasal dari disiplin ilmu geografi/pemetaan, namun sebagai pengetahuan dasar bagi setiap orang. Peta sangat bermanfaat dalam kehidupan sehari-hari, peta dapat membantu kita menuju lokasi yang diinginkan. Peta memuat informasi seperti titik koordinat, menentukan arah, jarak, luas, bentuk permukaan bumi, fenomena alam, serta pola sebaran bahkan informasi untuk penelitian.

Aplikasi pemetaan yang paling familiar digunakan dalam kegiatan sehari-hari adalah Google Map. Google Map biasa kita gunakan untuk mengetahui lokasi dan arah dari suatu tempat. Selain itu, kita bisa menggunakan ArcGIS, QGIS atau Openstreetmap (OSM) untuk memproses informasi dalam peta. Aplikasi pemetaan dapat diakses secara gratis dan berbayar. Bagi mahasiswa, OSM memiliki berbagai keuntungan karena gratis, tidak rumit bagi pemula, dan open source.

Primeira entrada no diário, não tenho costume. Também não sei se isto vai se tornar um hábito. Mas pelo menos, existirá uma folhazinha escrita aqui.

Here is my first diary entry. A few days ago, I gave myself the following challenge : every day, I will map one city in my department (Seine-Maritime, 76, France), going to the next letter in the alphabet for the next day, and so on. I will mainly map adresses (thanks to the Pifomap tool) ; precise roads’ paths and buildings’ positions ; and create driveways. There are 709 cities in total to map, but some will be easier to map than others for sure. The previous cities were Allouville-Bellefosse, Bacqueville-en-Caux and Cailleville.

Today, I worked on Dampierre-en-Bray. This rural municipality apparently is a relay for cyclists. There is the regional n°527 bus line operated by NOMAD Cars that passes nearby. Lots of single-family homes, as usual in my countryside.

Le samedi 16 octobre 2024, l’Orange Digital Center Kinshasa a accueilli avec succès un atelier d’initiation à OpenStreetMap (OSM) et à la cartographie participative. L’événement, accessible en présentiel et en ligne, a rassemblé des passionnés de cartographie, des citoyens curieux et des développeurs désireux d’apprendre à contribuer à la création d’une carte collaborative du quartier.

L’atelier a débuté par une présentation approfondie d’OpenStreetMap, un projet collaboratif visant à créer une carte libre et gratuite du monde. Les participants ont découvert les avantages d’OSM et son impact sur les communautés locales, notamment pour l’aide humanitaire, le développement urbain et la planification de l’aménagement du territoire.

L’accent a ensuite été mis sur la cartographie participative, une approche citoyenne qui permet à chacun de contribuer à la mise à jour et à l’amélioration des données cartographiques. L’atelier a proposé une démonstration pratique de l’utilisation d’outils en ligne tels que le site web d’OSM et l’application mobile Streetcomplete, iD Editor. Les participants ont appris à identifier et corriger des erreurs sur la carte, à ajouter de nouveaux éléments et à enrichir les informations disponibles.

Des résultats concrets et un engouement palpable

L’atelier a suscité un engouement important. Les participants, enthousiastes et motivés, ont activement contribué à la cartographie de leur quartier. De nombreux points d’intérêt ont été ajoutés, quelques routes corrigées et des informations mises à jour. Cet engagement témoigne de l’importance de la participation citoyenne dans la création d’une carte fiable et précise pour tous.

L’atelier a également permis de créer un réseau de cartographes amateurs et professionnels, prêts à collaborer pour enrichir la carte d’OSM de Kinshasa. Les participants ont exprimé leur volonté de continuer à contribuer à ce projet collaboratif et de partager leurs connaissances avec d’autres personnes intéressées.

Once again i have the pleasure to announce that we, the OpenStreetMap Carto maintainers, have prepared a new release of the OpenStreetMap Carto stylesheet (the default stylesheet on the OSM website). Once changes are deployed on openstreetmap.org it will take a couple of days before all tiles show the new rendering.

Here are some details on the visible changes this release brings to the style.

Adding rendering of shop=hearing_aids with a dedicated symbol

shop=hearing_aids is now rendered with a dedicated symbol rather than just a generic dot. The tag has shown a steady increase in use over the years and is used consistently in many parts of the world now with a total of nearly 10k uses.

https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/pull/4909

Thanks to contributor sommerbe for implementing this and working on a suitable symbol.

Restoring rendering of name labels for natural=reef
