OSM XAPI Server Instance
by Grant Slater 17 Jun '09

17 Jun '09

Wikimedia Maps-l, Etienne (80n) is seeking a stable host for another instance of OSM-XAPI http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Xapi Request: http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-gb/2009-June/003965.html XAPI is currently used as a backend for the Wikipedia demonstration by Tim Alder "Query-to-map" running on WM Toolserver: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Query-to-map Maybe there is room on one of the new servers? Best to contact 80n for install assistance. XAPI codebase available here: http://xapi.openstreetmap.org/scripts/ / Grant

Re: [Maps-l] OSM XAPI Server Instance
by Tim Alder 17 Jun '09

17 Jun '09

Hello, I support the XAPI instance on one of the new servers. With the standard output format it is really useful for other tools to get only a subset of the huge osm-data mountain. It has also load balancing for more than one servers and runs stable for a long time. The query interface is simple and good. So I see it more on the productive database server where we also have more hard disks with space and performance, which we perhaps don't need at beginning. Would this be OK? The Xapi on wikimedia servers would speed up my query-to-map tool really, so I have perhaps no neutral point of view, but I thing it would be also a good way to give OSM fast something back if Wikimedia profits from the osm-maps. If we get later a really high load level on the database server we can talk about it again. We would have with Xapi a good base to upgrade it later perhaps to a more common system in the backround like PostGIS or to a more directly output on a maps-layer or something like this. So the Xapi could be perhaps better but in the moment we have nothing that is similar or better. Greetings Kolossos

SAR-interferometry and stereo-SAR
by John at Darkstar 13 Jun '09

13 Jun '09

I'm nagging some previous colleges about SAR-interferometry and stereo-SAR. Perhaps it turns out we can use something they have implemented, I don't know. I guess you all knows about the SRTM-data. John http://www2.jpl.nasa.gov/srtm/cbanddataproducts.html

Server installed, setup pending
by Daniel Kinzler 10 Jun '09

10 Jun '09

Hi all I'm pleased to tell you that the servers have been deliverd and installed into the racks. They are awaiting some more setup which should be finished in a week or two. My question to you is: what shall we call them? Our naming sheme revolves mostly about plants, often poisenous ones. The names used for the current Toolserver boxes can be seen at <https://wiki.toolserver.org/view/Servers>, names used by the foundation can be seen at <http://wikitech.wikimedia.org/view/Server_roles>. There's the OSM toolserver, the DB server and the tile cache to be named. We need suggestions BY FRIDAY. Note that the ultimate decision about the name will be made by the server admins, based on nothing but their vim :) So... let us know your suggestions! -- daniel -- Daniel Kinzler Software Developer Wikimedia Deutschland Phone +49 30 219 158 260 Imagine a world in which every single human being can freely share in the sum of all knowledge.

[Fwd: [OSM-talk-nl] Wikipedia / OpenStreetMap]
by Bas de Lange 04 Jun '09

04 Jun '09

Dear Wikipedians, During the OpenStreetMap Users Day 2009 in the Netherlands Hay Kranen from Wikipedia mentioned something about geocoding, so Niels Leenheer acted upon that, and mashed up Wikipedia and OSM. See below. He wants to see if it is possible to drag the markers and that the geocode of the wikilemma would be updated. But his knowledge of OpenLayers is not that good enough. -- Met vriendelijke groet, Bas de Lange 06 166 26 950 Hoofdorganisator Software Freedom Day Nederland http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y0_KiVdIOtc http://softwarefreedom.nl/ ------------------------- Oorspronkelijk bericht ------------------------- Onderwerp: [OSM-talk-nl] Wikipedia / OpenStreetMap Van: "Niels Leenheer" <niels(a)creatype.nl> Datum: Wo, juni 3, 2009 20:13 Aan: "OpenStreetMap NL discussion list" <talk-nl(a)openstreetmap.org> -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Op de gebruikersdag vertelde Hai Kranen wat over het gebruik van OpenStreetMap binnen Wikipedia.Daardoor geinspireerd ben ik wat aan het klussen gegaan om nu eens goed zichtbaar te maken hoeveel Wikipedia artikelen nu een geocodering hebben meegekregen. Het experiment is te zien op http://geo.rakaz.nl/wiki.html Naar mate je verder inzoomt, krijg je meer artikelen te zien. Ook kun je zoeken op de titel van het artikel. Nu was het de bedoeling om ook edit functionaliteit in te bouwen, maar mijn kennis van OpenLayers is hiervoor zeker niet toereikend. Ik zat te denken aan de mogelijkheid van het verslepen van de markers, waarna met gewijzigde coordinaten automatisch het artikel wordt bijgewerkt. Misschien komt dit later nog wel een keer...

new servers arrived
by Daniel Kinzler 31 May '09

31 May '09

Hi all I'm happy to inform you that the new servers arrived in amsterdam. So we will soon have an extra toolserver for OpenStreetMap stuff, as well as the two production map servers - and a bunch of other shiny new stuff for the toolserver. It will be a while until all is installed and set up. Full functionality is expected to be available after the next regular maintenance window, july 6th. Some parts may become available earlier, but we are out of room in our rack, so we can't set up everything before the new rack is ready. We'll keep you posted -- daniel

Fwd: [WikiIT-l] OSMit 2009
by Casey Brown 30 May '09

30 May '09

Saw this on the Italian Wikipedia list (from Frieda), might find it interesting and relevant. Rough translation (a cleaned up version of the google translation ;-) ): "In Trento, the headquarters of the Fondazione Bruno Kessler, the OSMit 2009 conference <http://www.osmit.fbk.eu> will be held between June 5 and 6. It is the first conference of the Italian Open Street Map. I will point out for two reasons: 1. OSM will be "integrated" into MediaWiki, and therefore the maps will be usable on Wikipedia 2. Wikimedia Italia is sponsoring the conference" Has anyone heard anything about this, reached out to them, or considered going if they're nearby? :-) -- Casey ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Frieda Brioschi <ubifrieda(a)gmail.com> Date: 2009/5/29 Subject: [WikiIT-l] OSMit 2009 To: Ml Wiki Ita <wikiit-l(a)lists.wikimedia.org> A Trento, nella sede della Fondazione Bruno Kessler, il 5 e 6 Giugno prossimi si svolgera’ la conferenza OSMit 2009 [http://www.osmit.fbk.eu], ossia la prima conferenza italiana di Open Street Map.

Status of the latest hardware order
by Daniel Kinzler 17 May '09

17 May '09

Hi all Just a quick update on the order for the three servers to be used for OSM things: the order is out, but servers won't arrive before May 25th. And it's possible that there will be another week of delay, or even two. I will let you know when I have more details. Please be patient for a little longer.

Hi Lodewijk I have no idea, but I'll forward your message to the OSM integration list. Maps-l folks: please CC Lodewijk in any responses, as he's not on the list. -- daniel -------- Original-Nachricht -------- Betreff: OSM integration in MediaWiki - any dutchies unvolved? Datum: Tue, 12 May 2009 12:22:25 +0200 Von: Lodewijk <lodewijk(a)effeietsanders.org> An: Daniel Kinzler <daniel(a)brightbyte.de> Hi Daniel, do you happen to know whether any Dutch people are involved in some way in the OSM integration in MediaWiki? Someone who's doing Geo Freedom Day in NL would like someone to give a talk about the integration, so that person might be helpful :) (or maybe someone living near the border from Germany?) Thanks for your help, Lodewijk
