[OSM-talk-be] SOTM-EU

[Jo]

SOTM-EU 2014 is over but all the sessions were recorded, yay!

https://www.youtube.com/user/sotmeu

Jorieke gave a talk of all the great work she helped with in Lubumbashi,
Congo:

As a good Dutch speaking Belgian she went to Germany to present in English
with French slides :-)

Her talk starts around 37 minutes.



The talk I liked a lot as well is the one from Roland Olbricht, who
developed the Overpass API, which I saw this morning on the live stream. It
will probably be put online soon as well.

He continued development of Overpass and now it's possible to make queries
which dig into the history of the OSM objects.

So it's possible to compare between 2 points in time, which is not entirely
trivial, as normally our ways and relations don't have geodata included.
(Only nodes do), but he found a way to accomplish it.

Enjoy!

Jo, who feels sad he didn't go, but who's glad to 'have been there'
virtually thanks to amazing internet technology.

> Hi All!
>
> It's only 7 weeks until SOTM-EU (http://sotm-eu.org/) and I want to
> advertise a little and hope some of our Belgian-mappers are going to join!
>
> *Where?*
>
> SOTM-EU is in Karlsruhe this year so not far at all!
>
> http://osrm.at/7cW
>
> *When?*
>
> 13-15th june
>
> *Who's going?*
>
> Me & Jorieke will be there but you will meet a lot of other mappers and
> maybe finally will have some faces with all these names/emailadresses.
>
> *What usually happens at SOTM and why we go:*
>
> - You will meet a lot of fellow mappers but also get the opportunity to
> learn more about OSM and what is happening in the wider OSM-community.
> There are always new things going on and you will be amazed at how crazy
> people can be about what they are doing (in a good way ;-)).
>
> - On Friday and Saturday there are talks about mapping/tools/community...
> and on Sunday there is a 'Hack Day', you can join a local mapping party or
> join one of the workshops.
>
> - I have never been to a SOTM and regretted it afterwards... ;-)
>
> - This is a great opportunity to join because SOTM-EU is right around the
> corner and it's completely uncertain what will happen next year.
>
> - And last but not least, the informal part of the weekend: usually there
> is a pub-delegation with a lot of talking and drinking happening.
>
> *How can you get there?*
>
> If some of you are interested let us know, we will probably drive there
> and we can take on at least two extra passengers! We can pick you up
> somewhere, at least you will get there for free... :-)
>
> According to your schedule we can discuss when we leave/come back.
>
> It would be nice to have a some new faces from Belgium there this year!
>
> Met vriendelijke groeten,
> Best regards,
