<p><strong><a href="http://tidean.made4it.com/250/index.php/672156">Please participate in our OpenStreetMap community survey</a></strong>. It’s open to all, whether you are planning a trip to Japan for the conference, attending virtually on the live streams, or just enjoying our session videos afterwards. You can provide us with your OSM username to help us with spam detection (we won’t share your username with anyone). You’ll then get a huge page of talks to rate, sorted at random. Feel free to rate as many as you like. Just don’t leave the page open for too long, as your session might time out. When you’re tired of it, just scroll down, hit Next until you can Submit your answers.</p>

<p>An <strong>OpenStreetMap Featured Image</strong> (otherwise known as “Image Of The Week”) is chosen each week. Recently we’ve been putting them out on <a href="https://twitter.com/OpenStreetMap">twitter</a> and <a href="https://www.facebook.com/OpenStreetMap/">facebook</a>, so you’ll most likely have seen them there. Actually we’re a little behind on posting them, so consider this a preview! But featured images also appear each week on <a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Main_Page">the wiki main page</a>.</p>
|
|
73
|
-
<p>If you come across an image which you would like to put forward as image of the week (either your own image or somebody else’s), head over to “<a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Featured_image_proposals">Featured image proposals</a>” and edit that page to make your suggestion there. Anyone can join in with the process of investigating, improving and discussing the suggestions, and picking an OpenStreetMap image of the week each week. If wiki editing is difficult for you, just <a href="https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Communication_Working_Group#Contact">email CWG</a> with your suggestions.</p>

|
|
90
|
-
<p>As you know, the earth’s surface is made of tectonic plates that drift apart slightly over time. With OSM using the WGS84 coordinate reference system (as opposed to e.g. ETRS89 which also has latitudes and longitudes but defines them relative to fixed markers), our coordinates get “out of sync” with time.</p>

The vectors show direction and magnitude of motion. (Wikimedia Commons)" /></p>
|
|
92
|
-
<p>This movement can amount to up to 10 centimetres per year. Luckily, models exist that tell us just how much the earth is moving at any given location. And of course our data model provides us not only with the latitude and longitude of a point, but also with the time when it was entered. Assuming the data was correct at the time of entering OpenStreetMap, we can compute exactly how much that particular point has moved in the time since it was entered, and we can update the coordinates accordingly. (This is, of course, just half of the story – where aerial imagery has been used to trace data, we rely on correct source tagging to automatically determine the date when the images were taken, to compute the applicable tectonic correction.)</p>
|
|
93
|
-
<p>A point that was entered just yesterday won’t move at all; a point entered at the same location 5 years ago may have to be moved by up to 0.5 metres.</p>
|
|
94
|
-
<p>In order not to burden our database with needless new version numbers for nearly all node objects, we’ve chosen to simply update the coordinates for all objects in-place; this means that the tectonic correction happens seamlessly, without leaving traces in the object history.</p>
|
|
95
|
-
<p>The first corrections will be applied today, and we’ll revisit the issue on the same day in the coming years.</p>
|
|
96
|
-
<p>If this all sounds like techno-babble to you – just take away one thing: OSM does everything in their power to achieve maximum data quality and accuracy.</p>

<h3>Why so early?</h3>
|
|
115
|
-
<p>Following on from previous years we are opening the call for venues early. This gives you the greatest flexibility over dates you can pick in 2018. It also makes it easier for others who may be wanting to run OpenStreetMap events – we can assist with calendar planning to help avoid any problematic clashes.</p>

<p><i>After careful consideration and consultation with Creative Commons, we have decided to continue our regime of asking for explicit permission for use in OpenStreetMap from licensors of CC BY databases and data.</i></p>
|
|
136
|
-
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Although OpenStreetMap is largely created by volunteers that go out and map their neighbourhoods, we have often used external datasets to improve the map, either for cross-checking or more directly integrating the data. Many of these datasets are released on CC BY (Creative Commons Attribution) terms and that makes interoperability between these licences and our distribution licence, the ODbL 1.0, an important consideration for any use of such data in OSM. </span></p>
|
|
137
|
-
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Both the 2.0 and 3.0 versions of the CC BY (Creative Commons Attribution) licence have been popular with government and other sources for a long time. Due to differences between CC BY and the ODbL with respect to attribution, the LWG (OSMF Licence/Legal Working Group) has always required explicit permission from licensors to use such data in OpenStreetMap and attribute by adding an entry to our attribution pages on our central websites.</span></p>
|
|
138
|
-
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">CC BY 4.0 is a revision of the original CC BY license with provisions for handling database rights and simpler language. You can see a summary of differences between the licenses </span><a href="https://wiki.creativecommons.org/wiki/License_Versions"><span style="font-weight: 400;">here</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. The new version is becoming increasingly popular with potential data sources and we have received multiple requests to make a statement on compatibility of CC BY 4.0 licensed databases and data with the ODbL. For these reasons the LWG started, late last year, an effort to review the licence and to provide guidance to our contributors on the suitability of CC BY 4.0 material for OSM.</span></p>
|
|
139
|
-
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">There had been some hope that CC BY 4.0 sources would be directly compatible with the ODbL. But while neither CC nor the OSMF has undertaken a complete compatibility analysis, we have identified at least one point of incompatibility and one possible challenge regarding attribution that lead us to our decision to continue to ask for explicit permission to use BY 4.0-licensed material in the OSM project. This is the best path forward.</span></p>
|
|
140
|
-
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The reasons for this decision are twofold: CC BY 4.0 allows some more flexibility in how a licensee can attribute the original source and many people have suggested that our indirect attribution mechanism already fulfills the requirements of BY 4.0. However the OSMF believes that licensors of BY 4.0 material may be surprised by this and that we should, for courtesy and good form reasons, continue to ask for explicit permission to attribute via our websites.</span></p>
|
|
141
|
-
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The 2</span><span style="font-weight: 400;">nd</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"> reason is that the CC BY licences contain a strict prohibition on distributing so licensed material with DRM-enabled media/transport. The ODbL contains a similar restriction, but allows parallel distribution of “Derivative Databases” as a way to fulfill the obligation for unrestricted access. Distribution of ODbL “Produced Works” (for example maps) does not even require that.To avoid this incompatibility we will be requiring an explicit waiver of the prohibition on applying Technological Effective Measures (as defined in the license) found in Section 2a5B of CC BY 4.0.</span></p>
|
|
142
|
-
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">To make obtaining the required permissions easier for everybody involved we have prepared a </span><a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3PN5zfbzThqeTdWR1l3SzJVcTg/view?usp=sharing"><span style="font-weight: 400;">cover letter and a waiver form</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> and a similar document for obtaining the necessary waivers for the </span><a href="https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3PN5zfbzThqX0NNdFBDejE2RFE/view?usp=sharing"><span style="font-weight: 400;">2.0 and 3.0 versions of CC BY</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. Please do not forget that imports need to follow our </span><a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/Guidelines"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Import Guidelines</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> and that having legal permission is just one of the required steps for a successful project using third party data.</span></p>
|
|
143
|
-
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">I would like to thank Creative Commons, in particular Diane Peters for the support during this process and Kathleen Lu from Mapbox for drafting the cover letters and waiver forms.</span></p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In case you missed the <a href="https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/announce/2017-February/000103.html">mailing lists announcement</a> from the Operations Working Group, there will be a one hour period of downtime next Sunday (week today) :</p>
|
|

|
-
<blockquote><p>We are planning to upgrade the software which runs the main OpenStreetMap database. Unfortunately, we cannot do this without a small amount of downtime. We would like to schedule this at a time which minimises the impact it will have, and plan to conduct the upgrade between <a title="find your timezone" href="https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=osm+database+downtime&iso=20170312T11&p1=%3A&ah=1">11:00 and 12:00 UTC</a> on the morning of Sunday 12th March.</p>
|
|
162
|
-
<p>We expect that the database upgrade will not take the full hour, and we will endeavour to keep the site online for as much of that period as possible, and have it back to normal status as quickly as possible. However, there’s always the chance for things to go wrong, so please plan for the site to be down for the whole period.</p>
|
|
163
|
-
<p>The website and editing API will be affected, but other OSM services including the tile server, Nominatim, wiki, help and taginfo should continue to work as normal.</p>
|
|
164
|
-
<p>We will keep you updated through the <a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Platform_Status">Platform Status</a> wiki page and <a href="https://twitter.com/OSM_Tech">OSM_Tech twitter account</a></p>
|
|
165
|
-
<p>If you experience any problems with the API after the end of the upgrade, please get in touch with us on the #osm <a href="https://irc.openstreetmap.org/">IRC channel</a>, or <a href="https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Operations_Working_Group#Contact">by email</a>.</p>

<p>Each year we receive more scholarship applications than we are able to support. To help us best allocate the funds, we have introduced different levels of scholarship – you can now pick from Standard, Full or Enhanced scholarship levels.</p>
|
|
188
|
-
<p>Here are some tips to help you complete application:</p>
|
|
189
|
-
<ul>
|
|
190
|
-
<li>Select the minimum level of scholarship you need to attend in Japan. This will help us to make the best use of limited funds.</li>
|
|
191
|
-
<li>Answer the question “How will attending State of the Map benefit you and OpenStreetMap” in 1500 characters maximum. Keep sentences short. Focus on the benefits to you and to OpenStreetMap.</li>
|
|
192
|
-
<li>We want to hear about your contributions to OpenStreetMap, your project or your group. We do not want an account of a group’s work but <em>your individual</em> part in it. Try to use “<em>I</em>” not “<em>we</em>“.</li>
|
|
193
|
-
<li>You may include links to your OpenStreetMap profile, a local group you run, or software you created. If your written answer is satisfactory to get in our shortlist – we might take a look at these additional details.</li>
|
|
194
|
-
<li>What topics or views will you bring to State of the Map that are otherwise missing?</li>
|
|
195
|
-
<li>What do you plan to do when you return return home after State of the Map?</li>
|
|
196
|

<p>In addition to <a href="http://2017.stateofthemap.org/">our website</a>, we are also delighted to introduce you to the logo for State of the Map 2017. Aizu-Wakamatsu is one of the historical cites in Tohoku district, Japan. As such the design contains elements inspired by the Tsuruga Castle, the circular emblems of feudal lords of Aizu Clan, and the letters “會津” that were used for Aizu during the Edo period. You can read more about the design <a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/images/a/a3/SotM2017_Logo_Design_Concept.pdf">here</a>, and our thanks go to Shunnosuke Shimizu for the wonderful logo.</p>

<p>We’re now in preparation for our 10th Google Summer of Code. Over the years many students have participated and have continued to participate in the project beyond GSoC.</p>
|
|

|

<p>Organizations may apply to GSoC to become mentoring orgs until February 9th and of course we already did apply. However, we have to wait for February 27th to know if we’re accepted again. Student applications are due in April and the official coding period will be from May to July this year. For a full plan have a look at the <a href="https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/timeline">official timeline</a>.</p>

<p>If you’re an interested student, don’t hesitate and start out today. It’s never too early to make yourself known to our great project and our great community. Our project is big and we have a very broad and diverse set of tasks, and project ideas which require an equally diverse set of skills. But one thing is quite common to all of them: You should learn about our database and how mapping is supposed to be performed. So grab yourself a bit of time and go out and start mapping. Add your local grocery store, your favorite clothes shop or that one bench you love to sit on. No matter what, it’s important to get yourself familiar with OpenStreetMap. Further than that, you can have a look at our <a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/2017/Project_Ideas">ideas’ list</a> to see if there’s anything that you like and we’re also open to your own ideas. The best is to get on <a href="irc://irc.oftc.net/#osm-gsoc">IRC</a> or on our <a href="https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/dev">developers’ mailing list</a> to introduce yourself and talk about what you want to work on.</p>
|
|
239
|
-
<p>If you’re a developer, please consider to add your good idea to our <a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/2017/Project_Ideas">ideas’ list</a> or add yourself as a potential mentor for one of the proposed projects. We’re always seeking for backup admins, just in case. And if you are unsure whether your idea is good enough or if it’s feasible, you know where to find the GSoC admins. Just ask.</p>
|

<p>Finally, if you’re just interested about the Summer of Code, we have a <a href="https://blog.openstreetmap.org/2016/02/10/gsoc-2015/">detailed recap</a> of 2015’s GSoC, but also 2016 was a great success with a number of interesting projects and good students. In 2016 we had a total of six projects accepted, where four of them made it to the end.</p>

<p>Michael Zangl, a student from Germany, worked hard to reorganize the core of JOSM, our most widely used editor. He participated in 2015 as well, and he subscribed as a mentor for 2017. He wrote a <a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/2016/AcceptedProjects/JOSM_core">detailed summary</a> of his work and we’re happy to have him in our project and as a potential mentor this year.</p>

<p>Darya Golovko improved the JOSM Plugin for Public Transport (pt_assistant) i.e. by validating the public transport routes against a set of criteria, identifying errors and suggesting how to fix them. Her work is described in more detail <a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/2016/AcceptedProjects/PT_Assistant">here</a>. Darya was a great student and it was nice to have her at our <a href="https://blog.openstreetmap.org/2016/10/10/sotm-thanks/">annual international conference, State of the Map</a>.</p>

<p>Kushan Joshi applied for adding a visual lane editor to our javascript-based editor iD. Although he was very diligent, he didn’t complete the project as was initially planned, for no less reason than that he fixed several bugs, added features and worked on various other elements to make our editor iD even greater. As we valued his work very much, he passed last year’s Google Summer of Code without a question and you can read a detailed description of his work on <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/kepta/diary">his personal blog</a>. While he is continuing his study work, he’s still with our project and contributing code from time to time.</p>

<p>Last but not least there’s Zabot who continued the work on OSM2World, a well known 3D converter in OSM. Although it’s a hard task to get to know all this new technology with OpenGL and shaders he did an impressive work and added several new features to the rendering pipeline, so that you now have reflections on windows and water, colors and reflectance based on the time of day, ripples in water bodies, and multi-light rendering which allows you to have nice renderings at night with illumination coming from street lamps. Even though he didn’t stick with our project, his work is much appreciated and you can read more about it on his <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/Zabot/diary">personal diary</a>.</p>

<p>Reading all that you really should go out and have a look what you can do to help our project. We’re searching for you and your helping hand. And even without you being a student (in Google Summer of Code) we’ll greatly appreciate your help. Be it as a developer for a specific task or project idea or as a mapper to make our map even greater than it is already now.</p>

<p>Hope to see you soon.</p>

We found randomly added parks in the form of letters K N N in this <a href="https://osmcha.mapbox.com/48837022/" rel="nofollow">changeset</a>.

We found a <a href="https://osmcha.mapbox.com/48290750/" rel="nofollow">changeset</a> which consisted of fictional edits that were basically some names and random characters. This was flagged through <a href="https://osmcha.mapbox.com/?is_suspect=False&is_whitelisted=All&checked=All&reasons%5B%5D=57&all_reason=True" rel="nofollow">feature overlap</a> filter. Feature overlap filter takes a feature and downloads nearby features to check if there is an overlap. We have been testing this filter with thresholds of overlap. Code for this can be found <a href="https://github.com/mapbox/osm-compare/blob/master/comparators/feature_overlap.js" rel="nofollow">here</a>.</p>

We noticed suspicious edits in Japan by a new user, who is adding random parks, waterbodies, footways etc. This was detected by <a href="https://osmcha.mapbox.com/?is_suspect=False&is_whitelisted=All&harmful=None&checked=All&reasons%5B%5D=44&all_reason=False" rel="nofollow">Park added by new user</a> , <a href="https://osmcha.mapbox.com/?is_suspect=False&is_whitelisted=All&harmful=None&checked=All&reasons%5B%5D=49&all_reason=False" rel="nofollow">Waterbody added by new user</a>, and <a href="https://osmcha.mapbox.com/?is_suspect=False&is_whitelisted=All&checked=All&reasons%5B%5D=67&all_reason=True" rel="nofollow">Footway added by new user</a> filters in <a href="https://osmcha.mapbox.com/" rel="nofollow">OSMCha</a>.</p>

<p>This is a very small subset of issues we have reviewed. Rarely do we find these kind of intentional errors on the map. We also have come across some detailed mapping activity. One of those is this <a href="https://osmcha.mapbox.com/48739529/" rel="nofollow">changeset</a> which added some beautiful details to a castle in <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/405292#map=16/48.8977/9.1974" rel="nofollow">Ludwigsburg</a>. ✨

<p>Look forward to more such validation scoops from us. Let us know if you have feedback on any of these OSMCha filters. It would be great to hear similar stories of inconsistent or detailed mapping activity that you have come across. Comment on this diary post and share them with us <em>(We ❤️ screenshots).</em></p>

Hoje fiz uma pesquisa usando o site veracidade.com onde se dá pra ver mudanças de locais através do tempo, melhor dizendo desde 1970 até 2012. Então diante da minha analise utilizei o OSM para marca dois pontos no meu bairro que se chama Estancia Monazitica, em um dos pontos pode se vem um lote vazio mais nem sempre ele foi vazio, antigamente naquele local era o Reviera ou melhor dizendo um clube dos anos 70 onde ocorria umas das melhores festas de carnaval. Já no segundo ponto, pode se ver atualmente um condomínio mais também nem sempre foi um condomínio, antigamente lá era uma área de vegetação, então podemos concluir que ouve desmatamento. </p>

Podemos percebe que durante 47 anos atras tira uma área no barrio das laranjeiras, aonde podemos encontra muita água, é hoje encontramos casas.Acredita-se que por causa disso alaga quando chove nessa região </p>

<description><p>Usando o site &quot;veracidade.com.br&quot; é possível visualizar as modificações no espaço físico ao longo do tempo através de um mapa. Visualizei uma área do meu bairro que não existe mais, é um lago que hoje grande parte do mesmo está aterrado, inclusive nota-se que essa área é uma área de constantes alagamentos. Então, usando a plataforma OSM, marquei essa mesma área no mapa atual, descrevendo-a e rotulando como um lugar histórico.</p>

<description><p>I stumbled upon OpenStreetMap (OSM) recently. At first I was overwhelmed to see the amount of community work that is put together and reflects in the maps that are created. I was also excited to know how a hobby project of a person now resonates into something that has become a huge success. I started off my OSM project by mapping my hometown <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kolar_Gold_Fields" rel="nofollow">Kolar Gold Fields</a>. </p>
|

<p>Kolar Gold Fields often acronymed as <strong>KGF</strong> is a small town located in Karnataka, It was once famous for the gold mining which eventually stopped in the year 2001 due to receding deposits. KGF is often compared to England due to its climate and the beautiful landscapes. hence known as “<strong>The Little England “</strong></p>

<p>With some initial analysis of the place on OSM I noticed that it was fairly less mapped than most parts of the country . I was pleasantly surprised to notice major parts of the town were already mapped by a community member. This fills me with great enthusiasm to become a more active Community member myself and improve my hometown map. </p>

<h3>what I worked on</h3>
|
|
144
|
-
|
|
145
|
-
<p>Initially it took me time understanding the interface , tools and the shortcuts on OSM . I arrived to conclusion to map my home town as it had very little data.</p>
|
|
146
|
-
|
|
147
|
-
<p>For a start I concentrated on the road features , Mainly the residential and the secondary road as there were missing. Data was added using Bing imagery as primary source. With time I enabled myself adding buildings , leisure parks , natural lakes, banks and schools, also tagging each feature suitably. </p>

|
|
155
|

<p>My local knowledge of the place enabled me identify these features on the imagery and name them.
|
|
156
|
-
The major strength of OSM can be attributed to its nature. Being an open source and a strong community driven project it enables us to create maps with such intricate details .</p>

<p>This is 5 of 30 users, suggesting that 16.7% (1 in every 6) of users sign up purely for the purpose of spamming OSM. After an analysis of those 30 users shown on my <em>Profile</em>, I found that 80% made no or very little contribution (3 or less edits) to <em>OSM</em>; this seems to be the classic 20%/80% split, and makes it very difficult to understand why all these redundant users should be retained.</p>

<description><p>Tengo en casa un librito titulado <em><a href="https://openlibrary.org/books/OL26317348M/Librer%C3%ADas_en_M%C3%A1laga" rel="nofollow">Librerías en Málaga</a></em>, editado por el Instituto Municipal del Libro (2005). Es una guía donde se recogen todas las librerías y establecimientos de la ciudad que se dedican a la venta de libros (<a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/ES:Tag:shop%3Dbooks" rel="nofollow">shop=books</a>). Algunas librerías han cerrado en estos años, pero la mayoría siguen existiendo.</p>
|
|

|
262

<p>La guía recoge un tópico de antaño compartido por muchos viajeros y geógrafos sociales que visitaban la ciudad en el pasado: &quot;Málaga, ciudad de mil tabernas y una sola librería&quot;. Por curiosidad, he consultado el número de librerías que actualmente hay mapeadas en Málaga. No son muchas: hay más cafés, bares y restaurantes que librerías.</p>
|
|
263
|
-
|
|
264
|
-
<p>No me parece del todo acertado afirmar que el interés de una ciudad por la cultura se mide por su número de librerías, bibliotecas, museos o teatros. En cualquier caso, que no se diga que en Málaga no tenemos librerías.</p>
|
|
265
|
-
|
|
266
|

<p>He añadido tres de las más conocidas, <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=36.72419&mlon=-4.42059#map=19/36.72419/-4.42059" rel="nofollow">Prometeo</a>, <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=36.72346&mlon=-4.42004#map=19/36.72346/-4.42004" rel="nofollow">Rayuela</a> y <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/?mlat=36.71792&mlon=-4.42318#map=19/36.71792/-4.42318" rel="nofollow">Luces</a>, y alguna otra. Curiosamente, ninguna de estas librerías tan conocidas estaba mapeada. En los próximos días seguiré con el <a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/dcapillae/diary/41229" rel="nofollow">trazado de edificios</a> y aprovecharé para añadir tantas librerías como me sea posible. Si encuentro tiempo, haré lo mismo con las bibliotecas.</p>

<description><p>Hi! I’m Pedro Amaro, an undergraduate student from Portugal. Currently, I’m studying Informatics and Computing Engineering at FEUP (Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto). I will be working on a project for the OSM community for Google Summer of Code 2017. I took a special interest in OSM for my GSoC proposal, as I had used it before multiple times, mostly to know my bearings and also in the FlightGear flight simulator.</p>
|
|
291
|

|
|
292
|
-
<p>One of the most interesting suggested projects, that mixed some of my interests, including 3D graphics and web applications, was the implementation of a 3D Model Repository. This project consists of implementing a repository for 3D models, where users can upload freely licensed models and their metadata to it, so that 3D visualizers can use this data to render beautiful graphics for buildings (such as the Eiffel Tower) or smaller features such as trees. After a lot of back and forth with the project proposal with Tordanik, I submitted it, and around a month later, was accepted.</p>
|
|
293
|
-
|
|
294
|
-
<p>In my proposal, I had suggested using OpenLayers as the API for drawing maps in the repository, and having the live 3D preview of models be optional. Upon further discussion, we decided to change the API to Leaflet and start working on the preview early in the summer, by June.</p>
|
|
295
|
-
|
|
296
|
-
<p>To explore both ideas, I built a small demonstration of each, to get acquainted with the tools I will be using, namely Leaflet and Three.js.</p>

<description><p>Last weekend, I tried modelling <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Francisco_City_Hall" rel="nofollow">San Francisco City Hall</a> in <a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Simple_3D_buildings" rel="nofollow">S3DB</a>. The public building has 100 years of glorious history. The diameter of the central dome is around 34 m and total height of the building is 93 m.

<p>The householder was a retired chap &amp; explained that, when he &amp; his wife got married &amp; bought a house, some so-called friends had said that the two of them were now <em>“Up the creek”</em> (splendid friends, huh?). So, in response, they decided to give their new home <a href="https://www.mapillary.com/map/im/tSR6VSuCf30pw9mF3liwAw" rel="nofollow">a name</a>:–</p>

<p>An overflowing <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B%C3%A1nh_m%C3%AC" rel="nofollow"><em>bánh mì</em></a>, a tray of tender <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B%C3%A1nh_da_l%E1%BB%A3n" rel="nofollow"><em>bánh da lợn</em></a>, a can of soybean milk: my treat after every monthly trip to the little Vietnamese grocery across town. Mekong Market was my Sunday Bible school of Vietnamese culture in a childhood as distant from Asia as one could imagine, in Cincinnati. Snacks, sauces, and canned foods defying translation lined the shelves; in the refrigerator, a variety of mystery meats wrapped in aluminum foil each bore the same place of origin: Chicago.</p>

<p>One Labor Day, my family made a trip up to Chicago to finally see the bustling Vietnamese community whose clearance we had happily bought for years. We made a lot of road trips back then, often just spur-of-the-moment driving through the peaceful countryside. But since we were headed five hours away to an unfamiliar city, we needed to plan ahead. As the resident <a href="http://notes.1ec5.org/archives/2015/02/14/maps.html" rel="nofollow">map enthusiast</a>, I was to find directions to the Vietnamese supermarket in Chicago using our new Internet connection. We’d enjoy some phở for lunch and bring back enough fresh ingredients to avoid Mekong Market for a little while.</p>

<p>A search for “Vietnamese markets in Chicago” on AltaVista turned up <a href="http://web.archive.org/web/19990224232430/http://washingtonian.com:80/Great%20Food/ethnicmarkets.html#vietnamese" rel="nofollow">an article from <em>The Washingtonian</em></a> describing a cluster of supermarkets, phở restaurants, and bakeries on Wilson Boulevard. I pasted the street address into MapQuest, specified “Chicago” and “Illinois” to make sure I got the right “Wilson”, and printed out the directions.</p>

<p>Five hours later, we arrived in Chicago and crawled up and down Wilson Avenue. If a Vietnamese supermarket or two were to be found along this street, it couldn’t have fit very easily inside any of the modest townhouses that lined the street from end to end without interruption. I noticed, too, that the entire length of the street was numbered in the 8000 range, as opposed to the 6700 block on which this supermarket supposedly stood. My father pulled the car aside and called the supermarket’s phone number on his cell phone. I could understand just enough Vietnamese to make out the voice on the other end: “I’m in Northern Virginia&nbsp;– what in the world do you want me to do for you?”</p>

|
|

|

<p>As my father held his tongue&nbsp;– Grandma was in the back seat&nbsp;– we wandered aimlessly around that part of town until we happened to spot some Vietnamese signage. There, just a few minutes away from Wilson Avenue, were the supermarket, phở restaurant, and bakery we had been hoping for, by sheer luck.</p>

<p>In the years since, I moved to San José, California, home to one of the largest populations of Vietnamese Americans in the country. Bánh mì shops here are as commonplace as cafés. In fact, the only reason I ever notice them is that I also became immersed in OSM. I found a niche <a href="http://2015.stateofthemap.us/tickling-locals-into-action" rel="nofollow">mapping “flyover country”</a> and made it <a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/User:Minh_Nguyen#Mission" rel="nofollow">my mission</a> to improve coverage of communities underserved by commercial map vendors, among them ethnic enclaves <a href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/Minh%20Nguyen/diary/35646" rel="nofollow">in San José</a>, <a href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/way/483006220" rel="nofollow">Orange County</a>, and elsewhere.</p>

<p>Last month, I happened to be in Washington, D.C., visiting my employer <a href="https://www.mapbox.com/" rel="nofollow">Mapbox</a> at the new office there. On a lark, I decided to spend Sunday afternoon visiting Wilson Boulevard for real. It had been almost eighteen years since my last attempt, but despite having since moved to a city with a large Vietnamese population and plenty of Vietnamese food, I figured seeing this street in person would give me some closure. Fortunately, the same Metro line that took me almost to the airport also took me almost to <a href="http://edencenter.com/" rel="nofollow">Eden Center</a>, the Vietnamese shopping center that had teased me back in grade school.</p>

<p>I had always imagined Eden Center to be more of a bazaar than a strip mall. Nonetheless, it has almost everything you’d expect from a center of Vietnamese social life: a dearth of parking, a man singing karaoke to an impromptu crowd out front, a father treating his daughters to the kumquats that hang from a decorative tree nearby. On the other hand, there are no elderly men playing <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xiangqi" rel="nofollow"><em>cờ tướng</em></a> in front of the shops, as one often finds in California. (One wall bears an enormous warning against gambling and suggests area casinos as alternatives.)</p>

<p>Like similar centers in Orange County, Eden Center is steeped in war history. Each aisle in the parking lot bears the name of a South Vietnamese general.</p>

<p>I thoroughly field-surveyed Eden Center, noting the restaurants, jewelers, beauty salons, travel agencies, and karaoke bars tucked away in the center’s “mini-malls”. Before leaving, I bought a <em>bánh mì</em>, a piping hot tray of <em>bánh da lợn</em>, and a can of soybean milk for the road.</p>

<em>One of the advantages of a human-curated map database is an at-times quirky attention to detail. The abundance of diacritical marks in Vietnamese are essential to comprehension, so this Vietnamese-American community will find it helpful that OSM includes the diacritics, even though this shopping center is located in a predominantly English-speaking city. Maybe someday the <code>highway=corridor</code> ways will be useful for pedestrian routing, too.</em></p>

<p>OSM may have a long way to go before it can even dream of breaking people’s Google habits. I’m under no illusions about how poorly it scales to visit each site in person via public transportation. But for now, I’m just happy to have finally made it to Wilson Boulevard and made it easier for others to do the same&nbsp;– minus the detour.</p>

<description><p>University of Virginia Library has GIS data for <a href="http://gis.lib.virginia.edu/catalog/uva-Loudoun:bldgs_polygon" rel="nofollow">buildings in Loudoun county</a> (and lots of others), and the terms of use say the data &quot;<a href="http://gis.lib.virginia.edu/pages/about" rel="nofollow">is publicly available and can be reused and published without restriction</a>, so I figured I&#39;d start importing it into OSM using <a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/JOSM/Plugins/OpenData" rel="nofollow">JOSM</a>.</p>

<h2>Who are you?</h2>
|
|
484
|
-
|
|
485
|
-
<p>I&#39;m half German half Polish. I&#39;m living in Bavaria in Germany. I&#39;m a car navigation professional responsible for innovation management. Previously I worked with navigation maps and city modelling. Years before I developed specifications for 3D city models for the German government in <a href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/2618040" rel="nofollow">Hamburg</a>. Then I started to work for one of the biggest car navigation companies.
|
|
486
|
-
I made the first trials for 3D data acquisition with laser scanning used now e.g. in <a href="https://here.com/en" rel="nofollow">Here</a> products. I also taught for 15 years constructive geometry and technical representation techniques at the <a href="https://www.tuhh.de/alt/tuhh/startpage.html" rel="nofollow">Technical University</a> in Hamburg.
|
|
487
|
-
My hobbies are my family, 3D modeling, painting, photography, geography and molecular medicine.
|
|
488
|
-
I decided to use the polish part of my full name instead of nickname because I believe, I have nothing to hide when I map.</p>

<h2>When and how did you discover OpenStreetMap?</h2>
|
|
491
|
-
|
|
492
|
-
<p>I heard about OSM already in 2004 because of my professional work and searching after alternatively map sources for car navigation, but I started participating actively only in 2008.</p>
|
|
493
|
-
|
|
494
|
-
<h2>What do you map? Is there any difference with your early days?</h2>
|
|
495
|
-
|
|
496
|
-
<p>I have probably the same story as a lot of mappers: in the beginning I mapped mostly things from my immediate surroundings, then other areas I know. After two years I decided to do mapping in some badly covered areas in developing countries.</p>
|
|
497

|
|
498
|
-
<h2>How do you map ?</h2>
|
|
499
|
-
|
|
500
|
-
<p>In the beginning I did some surveys but because of my professional and family duties I am now mostly an armchair mapper. I spent a lot of time improving the accuracy of the map.</p>
|
|
501
|

|
|
502
|
-
<h2>Which tools do you use ?</h2>
|
|
503
|
-
|
|
504
|
-
<p>For mapping: I use [JOSM](josm.openstreetmap.de), <a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Potlatch_2" rel="nofollow">Potlatch2</a>, <a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Potlatch_2" rel="nofollow">OsmAnd</a>, a digital camera and <a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Potlatch_2" rel="nofollow">Field papers</a>.

<h2>Where do you map ?</h2>
|
|
515
|
-
|
|
516
|
-
<p>I do mapping around the world. Previously mostly in Poland and Germany, but with time more and more in developing countries like Ruanda and Nepal. After the earthquake in Nepal in 2015 I did my mapping mostly there. The help is still needed.</p>

<h2>What is your biggest achievement as mapper?</h2>
|

<p>I have three points. First would be the organization of the <a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/2nd_3D_Workshop_Garching/Agenda" rel="nofollow">Garching Workshop</a>: I suggested there the mapping schema known now as <a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Simple_3D_buildings" rel="nofollow">Simple 3D Building</a>. My good friend Kendzi, a very smart guy, developed based on this idea his plugin Kendzi3d. Now we have 3D maps.</p>

<p>Secondly the lobbying for OSM in Poland and the foundation of the OSM Poland association. As the result the polish mappers got access to the very accurate government aerial images.</p>
|
|
527

|
|
528
|
-
<p>Third: Specification of <a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/area:highway" rel="nofollow">area:highway</a>. Another smart mapper, marimil, has programmed the <a href="http://osmapa.pl/w/area/?lat=53.44252&lon=14.54771&zoom=19&ol=PEFGABR" rel="nofollow">visualization</a>. Now, we have over 82000 such areas in the map. Why is it so important in my opinion? First: a better look of the map on highest zoom level, secondly: this content can help to develop apps for automated driving.</p>

<h2>Why do you map?</h2>
|
|
535
|
-
|
|
536
|
-
<p>I love the idea of open source. I have teached the <a href="http://www.kathmandulivinglabs.org/" rel="nofollow">Kathmandu Living Labs</a> team in Nepal before earthquake. They used this knowledge for production of maps for rescue teams after the earthquake.</p>

<p>I don´t understand this question :-) In my eyes it is wonderful and easy to understand project. Maybe I´m too long in this business.</p>

<p>I wish to improve the OSM map of <a href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/184633#map=7/28.425/84.133" rel="nofollow">Nepal</a>. I like this beautiful country and nice, friendly Nepali.

Especially mapping of forest areas is in my eyes of special value: Where are forests, there are no people. This knowledge is important for disaster management. And new earthquakes are very likely to happen in Nepal.</p>

<p>Yes, I try to write some specification for JOSM plugins I miss. Sometimes I find people that realize this ideas, as was the case with e.g. CAD Tools. I´m also working in my free time on the S3DB 2.0 specification. It would be great to have more detailed 3D models. I am also the member of advisory board of <a href="http://www.i-locate.eu/" rel="nofollow">I-locate consortium</a> which develops standards for indoor data. I am responsible for OSM content there.</p>

<p>Don´t believe everything is already mapped and OSM becomes boring. There is still a lot, a whole lot to do!</p>

<description><p>While I was fixing a lot of stuff around Sarajevo, it occurred to me that we don&#39;t have a way to render Muslim cemeteries - an important landmark of the cityscape there, and in many other parts of the world too, I&#39;m sure. Some big cemeteries are even divided into Christian and Muslim sections.<br/>

Adapting one the existing rendering patterns was <a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/File:Landuse-cemetery_muslim.png" rel="nofollow">easy enough</a>:<br/>

So, how does one officially propose a new way to render an existing feature?</p>
