Piebroさんが作成したOpenStreetMap Statisticsを知っていますか?

OSMのchangesetファイルを分析して、様々な角度からグラフを作成してくれるとても有益なツールです。

user_statistics_japan

プロジェクトのREADMEでも、それぞれの国や地域を対象に分析を実施することができる、と示されています。 私のローカル環境で、日本地域を対象にした分析を行うことができたので、手順をまとめておきます。

Yesterday i received a message from perenniallylate notifying me that he had mapped village 99 on the list, Tremul, and asking me if it was okay for him to map some villages in the upcoming weeks.

I thanked him in private, but also want to thank him publicly for contributing to mapping Albania and putting Albanian villages on the map.

Anyone can map any village from the list, because I can always add more villages to it. It would be amazing if you could send me a message or leave a comment that you mapped it, but even if you do not, it is totally okay.

Today I continued mapping and mapped Kryemadh and the surrounding areas, including villages Kalimash and Shtanë.

The latest 2.4.X release sets the path for two major requested features: real-time collaboration and one-click remote data importers.

Additionally, minor improvements and bugfixes have made the tool more stable and usable.

Real-time collaboration

Thanks to our NLnet sponsorship, we have been able to make the first push in that direction. This is not yet activated in any (known) instance but the underlying code is deployed and we will be able to manage allocated resources and fine-tune how websockets are deployed. Details of the next steps are available on Alexis’ blog post.

Given the required server changes for that new feature, it will be part of a future 3.X version when the dust has settled.

Remote data importers

We made 4 importers to begin with:

Today I mapped in Peshkopi. Tomin ain’t really a village of Peshkopi but a neighborhood, so after mapping it I proceeded to the villages closest to Peshkopi.

I mapped Pilafë which is a small village very close to the city. I have been in Pilafë in 2021,for a door-to-door campaign in support of a local miner who was representing the miners in the parliamentary elections. As soon as we entered the village, a 10-year-old boy saw us and wanted to show us the village, and he walked with us and showed every house in the village for two hours straight.

After Pilafë, i moved to Staravec and partially mapped it too.

Tengo un plan reciente, que es mejorar tanto como pueda los datos del mapa de OpenStreetMap de mercado y sus alrededores en Penonomé. El problema actual es la falta de muchos POI, así que quiero añadir todos los POI que vea, preferiblemente con detalles como información de contacto y horarios de apertura. Del mismo modo, marcaré en OpenStreetMap los cruces peatonales, reductores de velocidad, y límites de velocidad que vea. El problema actual de OpenStreetMap es la falta de contribuidores, al menos en Penonomé, no hay muchos. Cada persona adicional suma una fuerza, así que ¡quiero mejorar tanto como pueda!

Recently, I have a plan, which is to improve the OpenStreetMap map data of the mercado and surrounding areas in Penonomé as much as I can. The current issue we face is the lack of many POIs, so I want to add all the POIs I see, preferably with detailed information such as contact details and opening hours. Similarly, I will also mark pedestrian crossings, speed bumps, and road speed limits that I observe on OpenStreetMap. The current issue with OpenStreetMap is the lack of contributors, at least in Penonomé, there aren’t many contributors. Every additional person adds more strength, so I want to improve as much as I can!

我最近有个计划,那就是要尽我所能的改进 Penonomé 的 mercado 及周边区域的 OpenStreetMap 地图数据,现在面临的问题就是缺失了很多 POI,所以我要把我看见的 POI 都加上,最好还能加上详细信息,例如联系方式、营业时间等信息,同样的,我也会在 OpenStreetMap 上标记我看到的人行横道、减速带、道路限速信息等,现在 OpenStreetMap 面临的问题就是贡献的人不多,至少在 Penonomé 没多少贡献者,多一个人就多一份力量,所以我要尽我所能的改进好!

Hello, Openstreetmap community! I’m Brazil Singh, Open Mapping Guru, and I’m excited to share the highlights from my recent training session at Jahangirnagar University. As an Open Mapping Guru under the Open Mapping Hub - Asia Pacific, this experience was both enlightening and thrilling, filled with dynamic discussions, insightful training sessions, and endless fun. Here’s a summary of our amazing day together!

Event Highlights

The session began at 2 PM with a vibrant atmosphere. We were honored to have several distinguished guests who contributed immensely to the event:

Chief Guest: Dr. Sheikh Tawhidul Islam, Professor at the Institute of Remote Sensing and GIS, Jahangirnagar University
Special Guests:
    Md. Munir Mahmud, Assistant Professor at the Institute of Remote Sensing and GIS, Jahangirnagar University
    Sawan Shariar, Regional Ambassador at YouthMappers and President of OSM Bangladesh

I’ve been using StreetComplete for the past few days now. It’s great fun, but I often run into questions where I’m thinking “Well… I don’t know that any of these options are right.” (Or “If Regina wasn’t a uniquely hot mess, then maybe one of these answers would actually work!” I’m looking at you Albert street rail crossing.) The tagging and questionable-edits channels on the osm-world discord have been massive helps.

It isn’t until you start tagging out in the wild that you start coming up with weird questions that you wouldn’t have thought up otherwise. Like:

  • Do you mark an intersection as having no marked lanes? (Are they even supposed to have marked lanes if they aren’t turn lanes?)
  • Is a concrete block coloured red a form of tactile paving, even if it has no different texture to it from any other block?
  • How far does a street light have to be from a bus stop before you can say that bus stop is unlit at night?
  • If there are no sidewalks next to a road and there is no way for a pedestrian to walk along the side (like if it’s too much of a slope), are they allowed to walk on the road?
    • (I don’t think I’ve seen a sign telling pedestrians that they aren’t allowed to in these situations here, but I don’t know anyone who would even want to in the places where it happens.)
  • Why does Regina have so many pedways over streets cars drive under, and none of them are marked with a maximum height sign?
    • (It’s probably because in those areas, trucks aren’t allowed. But I never even noticed they didn’t have the signs until I thought to look!)

My journey into mapping began in 2012 when I was a college student. I started by mapping my village and later expanded to mapping numerous banks as part of my work in 2016-17. This initial exposure sparked my interest in community mapping.

In 2018, I began contributing to OpenStreetMap (OSM) alongside my volunteer contributions on Wikipedia and Wikidata. This involvement allowed me to bridge the gap between platforms by linking Wikidata entries with OSM and vice versa, enhancing the data quality and interconnectivity between these valuable resources.

Joining the Open Mapping Guru Fellowship has been a transformative experience. The fellowship provided me with access to various tools that have significantly enhanced my mapping activities. The tasks during the program helped me learn and expand my knowledge about mapping in OSM. These tasks ranged from mapping amenities using mobile applications like Every Door and remote mapping using JOSM and mapping and validating using the Tasking Manager.

Through this fellowship, I have not only improved my technical abilities but also deepened my commitment to the OSM community. The Open Mapping Guru Fellowship has been a significant part of my journey, and I’m excited about what lies ahead.

I am grateful to HOT and APHub team for this opportunity to be part of such a dynamic and collaborative environment.

As I continue my mapping journey, I look forward to applying the skills and insights gained from the fellowship to make a meaningful impact on the mapping and open data ecosystems.
