Fwd: List of tools on the toolserver - Help needed
by Kolossos 19 Feb '13

19 Feb '13

Hello together, please add also your OSM-tools to this list: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Toolserver/List_of_Tools Use "OpenStreetMap" as type in the table. I believe we really need an actual overview to get a good place in new foundation environments for map stuff. 9-10th March will be a meeting with the foundation, afterwards we will know more about the future of OSM at Wikimedia. Styles that we are rendering are in my eyes a different topic, but we have also to talk which styles are still active, have which priorities. (An update to Mapnik 2 will be necessary.) It would be also interesting to talk about new ideas for styles.

I am impressed! Wondering what tools are actually running on the toolserver I started a list. It is long! You can admire it here: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Toolserver/List_of_Tools For sure, it is incomplete as I used the toolserver wiki and jira to find information. In the light of building Tool Labs to become a platform the tools can run on, we need more information about the tools. So here is what I ask all tool developers for: * Please check if your tools are on the list (correctly). * Please fill in your software dependencies, data dependencies, use patterns (are they running continously? or webservices? Batch runs? etc.), the license. * If you have not given your software an explicit license, please note that only free software can migrate to Labs. Consider putting your stuff under a free license. * If you have already migrated your bot or tool to Labs and it is in the list, please say so in the last column "status". The same if a mentioned tool is abandoned and shall not move. Thanks for your help!

[Maps-1] wiki travel released soon
by Florian LAINEZ 11 Jan '13

11 Jan '13

Hello, I'm Florian, a french OpenStreetMap contributor. I see that wiki voyage will be soon launched, and it's definitely a maps oriented project. I noticed that the geographical coordinates are displayed top right-hand corner but for very few articles (ex. New-York<http://en.wikivoyage.org/wiki/New_York_City>OK but Stuttgart <http://fr.wikivoyage.org/wiki/Stuttgart> no). On every page there is a link to the wikipedia article: [[Wikipedia:Stuttgart]] And as you probably know most of the wikipedia pages are already geolocated with their coordinate and also with their OpenStreetMap's object. Suggested action: import wikipedia coordinates to wiki voyage. I think their is no maintenance problem because geographical places usually don't move ^^ Other topic: their no mini-map top right-hand corner next to the coordinates as on wikipedia. Least but not last: their is a lot of pointed out places within the pages but none of them are geolocated ex.: *Tour Eiffel and its Parc du Champ de Mars, Les Invalides, Musée d'Orsay* This definitely lacks of precision ... So I think their is a lot to do, I regret not to have the technical skills to do it :( regards -- *Florian Lainez* http://twitter.com/overflorian http://www.nouslesgeeks.fr

Datacenter Maintenance tomorrow
by Marlen Caemmerer 22 Dec '12

22 Dec '12

Hello, tomorrow will be hardware maintenance for toolserver. It will be between 11 am - 20 pm UTC. Several hosts may be offline for a little while during this time - especially daphne (s4) and hyacinth (s3, s6 and s7). They get some hardware replacements. The OSM host ptolemy might go offline for new hardware, too. Cheers Marlen/nosy

Re: [Maps-l] Wikimedia/mapping event in Europe early next year?

Hi, On 12/02/2012 12:03 AM, Andy Mabbett wrote: > I would suggest piggy-backing this on OSM's annual State of the Map' event. Piggy-backing on bigger events is generally a good idea for small hackfests with a good % of pure volunteers. However, as for today the State of the Map conference doesn't even have time/location defined, but it's quite certain that it will be in 2H 2013. Within the February-March time frame suggested by Erik there are options like http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/FOSDEM Feb 2-3 @ Brussels (Belgium) OSM got a booth en previous years. No idea about 2013 but FOSDEM is anyway a good pole of attraction for all kind of FLOSS developers - ourselves included. In fact we are trying to build critical mass around this event - see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Events/FOSDEM Sadly there is no geolocation DevRoom but if both projects want to organize something right before the event (e.g Friday, Feb 1st)... Later than that other options could be * http://whereconf.com/where2012 San Francisco, April 2-4. * http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Linuxtag Berlin, May 22-25. * http://wherecamp.de/ Berlin, probably June. The OSM project has more events listed at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Events but there are no 2013 events listed right now? There is also http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Conferences but most of those events happen in 2H 2013. What about a combo around FOSDEM and Where Conference, focusing each on EU/US communities with a few privileged sponsored contributors able to attend and connect both? -- Quim Gil Technical Contributor Coordinator Wikimedia Foundation

Fwd: Multilingual maps demo
by Kolossos 30 Nov '12

30 Nov '12

Hello, I fwd this mail because the project is sponsored by WMDE and multilingual maps are a topic of Wikipedia. Greetings Kolossos -------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: Multilingual maps demo Datum: Fri, 30 Nov 2012 15:34:21 +0100 Von: Jochen Topf <jochen(a)remote.org> An: talk(a)openstreetmap.org Newsgruppen: gmane.comp.gis.openstreetmap Hi! I have been working on a multilingual OSM map, ie. a map where you, the user can decide in which language the labels should be. A demo of the system is now available at http://mlm.jochentopf.com/ . The tiles for this demo are rendered on tile.openstreetmap.de, the software used is the MapQuest Render Stack with modifications by me. You can choose any language or language combination for the labels. This is only a demo, the site might be slow or not work at all. Please try it out and tell me what you like and what you don't like.

Wikimedia/mapping event in Europe early next year?
by Erik Moeller 30 Nov '12

30 Nov '12

Hi folks, it's been a long time coming, but we're finally gearing up for putting some development effort into an OSM tileservice running in production to serve Wikimedia sites. This is being driven by the mobile team but obviously has lots of non-mobile use cases as well, including the recent Wikivoyage addition to the Wikimedia familiy. This work will probably not kick off before January/February 2013; before then, the mobile team is working to finish up the GeoData extension ( https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Geodata ). To get broader community involvement and sync up with existing volunteer efforts in this area, it'd IMO be useful to plan a face-to-face meetup/hackfest just focused on geodata/mapping related development work sometime around Feb/March 2013. WMF is not going to organize this, but we can help sponsor travel and bring the key developers from our side who will work on this. Are there any takers for supporting a 20-30 people development event in Europe focused on mapping/geodata? I'm suggesting Europe because I know quite a few of the relevant folks are there, but am open to other options as well.

Hi Erik! Thats excellent news :-)) I would suggest to meet in Berlin. Wikimedia Germany is financing the current toolserver infrastructure, could organize a location and we could team up with the folks from Wikidata. At Wikicon 2012 we made a wish list of things we would like to get implemented: - Common way to store geodata in Wikipedia - Better OSM integration - Import of GeoTiff [0] and Exif GPS [1] Tagging Data - World file [2] support I'm currently working on how to integrate Landsat [3] data. The current Landsat 7 satellite is damaged and has pretty outdated sensors. But the upcoming Landsat Data Continuity Mission (LDCM) mission will provide freely availably medium resolution (15-60m/pixel) pictures of every place of the earth in 16 days interval which could be a good fit for Wikipedia. cu andreas [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geotiff [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exif [2] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_file [3] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landsat 2012/11/28 Erik Moeller <erik(a)wikimedia.org> > Hi folks, > > it's been a long time coming, but we're finally gearing up for putting > some development effort into an OSM tileservice running in production > to serve Wikimedia sites.

Updates in OSM-Gadget
by Tim Alder 02 Nov '12

02 Nov '12

Hello, there are some new features in OSM-Gadget: *As additional layer we support the tiles from Opengeoserver.at. This service combines satellite and aerial images from different sources[1]. Best image quality is available in parts of Austria and Bavaria. The primary aim of Opengeoserver is to be a mapping tool for OSM. Please respect that if have not the server power of Google maps, buts a beginning. The images looks interesting together with the transparent tiles we are using for multilingual rendering and with our hillshading. *For a longer time is also a public transport layer (ÖPNV-Karte) available. *OSM-Gadget is running now Openlayers 2.12 in a minimized version, so it needs only 400kB instead of 1MB at the first time. Greetings Tim alias Kolossos [1]http://toolserver.org/~kolossos/openlayers/kml-on-ol.php?lang=de&uselang=…

License change of OpenStreetMap to ODbL
by Kai Krueger 28 Sep '12

28 Sep '12

Hello everyone, as you probably all know OpenStreetMap has been in the process of changing its license for a while. Well, as of two days ago the process was finally completed and the source data from OpenStreetMap.org is now licensed under the OBbL 1.0 [1]. For the moment the data in the osm_mapnik database on the toolserver is still CC-BY-SA as the replication was suspend at the time of the license change. However, in order to enable updates again, we have to transition over to ODbL as well. For legal reasons, the recommended (by the OSMF) transition strategy is to drop any existing databases and re-import them fresh from the newly release planet file now licensed under ODbL. To be able to enable updates again, I would like to do that fairly soon. Apart from that, the attribution string needs to be slightly changed for all projects that are using the OpenStreetMap data, once the re-import has completed. With respect to tile licensing, I suggest we follow the example of osm's tileserver. While the underlying data is licensed ODbL, the rendered tiles would be licensed under CC BY-SA 2.0 Could everyone who uses the OSM database on toolserver therefore please check if there are any issues with transitioning to ODbL and prepare for the change of attribution? Given that the OpenStreetMap is used in Wikipedia through the OSM-gadget, WMA and WIWOSM, does the wikimedia legal team have any suggestions or objections to the change? I'll keep you posted.

Openlayers update 2.12
by Tim Alder 09 Sep '12

09 Sep '12

Hello, you can found now the newest Openlayers version under: http://toolserver.org/~osm/libs/openlayers/2.12/OpenLayers.js but I will not update "latest"-link to 2.12 until 2.13 is coming, because each map have to check and change some small things so that it works. The map inside Wikipedia (OSM-Gadget) is now also running at 2.12, advantage is the softer zooming. Greetings Tim alias Kolossos
