Pengetahuan adalah bagian dari peradaban. Peradaban adalah hasil dari kemajuan. Kemajuan adalah proses dari peradaban. Pengetahuan-peradaban-kemajuan=sejarah.

Sejarah adalah hasil dari pengetahuan-peradaban-kemajuan. Sehingga sejarah adalah Wujud dari kehidupan.

Tak ada sejarah yg tak ada kehidupan. Begitu pula kehidupan yg tak ada sejarah.

It was a bright sunny afternoon in Ohio, but it was getting hard to tell from the smoke in the air.

Our Volunteer Fire Department was dispatched as mutual aid to fight a brush fire that had already burned dozens of acres. Once we got to the staging area and offloaded our brush unit side by side, I hopped in the shotgun/co-driver seat and we ventured into the woods to slowly find our way to the fire. Cell reception became practically non existent as the already mediocre network got bogged down by residents checking on each other. With sat imagery unable to load I thought OSMand and it’s offline data would be able to help us out.

We were making our way past a large pond that would prove to be a vital real world landmark for our vehicles moving to and from the fire. Even though land use was mapped I couldn’t see any useful terrain features. At one point in the past an OSM mapper simply marked the whole area as a big block of “Natural Wood” and moved on. I had to manually pin the landmarks in OSMand to give us bread crumbs to follow.

After a few hours and several hundred gallons of water being shuttled to the fire it was getting dark, but we could see the flames were no longer making progress. A county drone was now buzzing overhead and the operator confirmed that the fire was blocked by a swathe of wetlands. More fire units were stuck on the other side of it since it seemed like the fastest way to the fire from the opposite street, and they had to find their way around.

Missing Maps turned ten years old in November and it may be running a full-blown internship in its tenth year.

Partially to celebrate this tenth birthday Missing Maps member organizations met for two full days in September in Nairobi, Kenya.

Votação de Proposta para tag addr:milestone

Esta proposta é criar uma nova tag addr:milestone=* para se enquadrar nas subchaves disponíveis addr=*, para ser usada em um sistema de endereços (rural) muito comum encontrado em todo o mundo. O objetivo desta etiqueta é incluir especificamente os quilômetros (ou milhas ~ onde quer que seja usado) nos casos em que esses dados fazem parte de um endereço real, fornecendo assim uma “referência” visível para a distância necessária para viajar para chegar a um endereço específico, localização.

Esta etiqueta proposta também contribuiria para manter todos os números relacionados com o endereço claramente visíveis num sistema do “mundo real” que é actualmente utilizado em muitos países.

O Mapador Jorge da Comunidade LATAM Coloquei a proposta para a tag addr:milestone=* para votação, osm.wiki/Proposal:Addr:milestone peço que vote e ajude na aprovação dessa tag que será de grande importância para o mapeamento de km em rodovias brasileiras onde precisar ser mapeado o ponto da rodovia marcado como KM.

It was a memorable moment for me attending State of the map Nigeria 2024 conference as I was opportune to meet and engage with professionals and volunteers from different backgrounds.

FROM ZARIA TO ILE-IFE

All the away from Zaria in Kaduna state, Northwest of Nigeria down to Ile-Ife in Osun state, Southwest of Nigeria for State of the map Nigeria 2024 conference. Since it was a long Journey I had to stop at Lokoja, Kogi state for a day. The following day I continued the journey down to Ile-Ife, Osun state. The venue of the conference was at African Regional Institute for Geospatial Information Science and Technology (AFRIGIST) inside Obafemi Awolowo University, Ile-Ife, Osun state, Nigeria.

THE OPENING MAPPING PARTY

It was a good beginning starting the programme with an opening mapping party. The opening mapping party started around 6:39pm with the introduction of attendees. A welcome address was done by Dr. Victor Sunday who welcomed everyone to the opening mapping party. Thereafter, the session was handed over to Mr. Calvin Menttor from Ghana who introduced the attendees to OpenStreetMaps.

Activities accomplished in mapping party

  1. OSM account opening
  2. Downloading and installation of JOSM
  3. Linking of JOSM with OSM account
  4. JOSM setup and plugins installation
  5. Building mapping: Project 657 (Nigeria- Mapping Missing Roads and Buildings in Ilesa) was done
  6. Uploading of mapped layer to the OSM server The chairperson in person of Dr. Victor Sunday concluded the session by giving the history of OpenStreetMap and how it became global. The mapping party came to an end by 9:45pm

DAY 2 OF THE CONFERENCE

The programme started by 9:35am with an opening prayer followed by the singing of the national anthem. The introduction of guests to the high table was done and the opening remarks were given by Prof. Lazarus Mustapha Ojigi. The welcome address and the goodwill message were delivered by Dr. Victor Sunday.

L’argumentaire:

  • network:type=node_network est malvenu selon nos recherche
  • network:type=lwn est redondant avec network=lwn et n’est pas documenté

Le commentaire des changesets : “Remove tag ‘network:type’ for relation ‘network’=’lwn’ in country ‘France, admin_level ‘6’, ref ‘' #UpdateLwnNetworks" où "osm_ref" est le numéro du département.

Départements traités:

  • Indre-et-Loire (37)
  • Loir-et-Cher (41)
  • Maine-et-Loire (49)
  • Loiret (45)

A while back I had taken a look comparing my local OGL to others in our area that were approved and listed on the wiki. Noting the similarities to existing documents I added our local cities as well per their attribution requirements. This differs slightly from documentation the that the legal working group has produced here https://osmfoundation.org/wiki/OGL_Canada_and_local_variants

I’ve not heard back from the legal questions email with my question after a few days now. But wanted to keep productive and provide supporting due diligence I am able to help out on. This seemed like a reasonable platform to use for such.

Comparing the latest “reviewed and approved” OGL from Guelph https://explore.guelph.ca/pages/open-data-license

To Edmonton and Calgary which are in turn based on the Alberta licenses. https://data.edmonton.ca/stories/s/City-of-Edmonton-Open-Data-Terms-of-Use/msh8-if28/ https://data.calgary.ca/stories/s/Open-Calgary-Terms-of-Use/u45n-7awa/ https://open.alberta.ca/licence

The majority of the documents and verbiage are identical, the differences i am able to note are as follows:

  • Preambles differ slightly for each document; however all roll up to the OGL - Canada
  • General formatting
  • Call out to relevant local attribution, acts
  • Alberta, Calgary and Edmonton add an additional exemption for “Information or Record that are not accessible under applicable laws” with an extra definition for “Records” pointing to the Alberta freedom of information and protection of Privacy act. Guelf (and others) directly reference the act as “information not accessible under the municipal freedom of information and protection of privacy act”

If you have some expertise the problem of correct rendering of border disputes and some spare time, then your help is welcome. If not, than of course you are welcome too!

Attending the recent hack weekend in Berlin, I got inspired to work on a neat feature in overpass turbo. Honestly speaking, in the past few years, the tool did not the amount of attention from the developer’s (my) side that it deserves. What came clear to me at the hacking event is that a lot of people still use it on a very regular basis and that it is an invaluable part of the OSM bag of tools, which was really nice to hear.

Auto Styler (beta)

So, what someone proposed was to extend the current query wizard feature to also support the styling of the results using mapcss. What I took from that suggestion was that it should not be hard to implement a dedicated helper dialog that auto-generates MapCSS to style the data according to the values of a selectable tag and color palette. And I’m glad to say that after a quite productive two days, there’s now already a beta version already available to test out on overpass-turbo.eu.
