[Talk-GB] Conflation of TfL data into OSM (was: Is TfL data allowed on OSM?)

[Rob Nickerson]

Hi Andy,

There was a good amount of communication and opportunity for discussion
early on in this work (e.g. when CycleStreets worked on the schema). Since
then there does appear to be an effort just maybe not in all the right
places. For example the wiki page has been updated and there was the geomob
presentation, but nothing in the mailing list other than a couple messages
to talk-gb-london.

Nevertheless, I echo Jez's comments that it's hugely positive that TfL are
willing to fund companies to help enhance OSM with (albeit slightly old)
ground survey data. As such I'm keen to help despite not living in London
or being much of a cyclist.

Firstly, has anyone had much luck in establishing contact? There are
references in this thread to "waiting for them to reply here" but I'd like
to establish if someone has even managed to flag "here" with them!

Fortunately there seems to be lots of options:

- the two OSM user accounts referred to on the wiki page.
- Ed's email address he posted to talk-gb-london from.
- Aidan Mcinerny's LinkedIn account as mentioned on
https://thegeomob.com/post/june-15th-2022-geomoblon-details

For now, I have gone a different route and asked the geomob organisers if
they can put me in contact. Fingers crossed this works as a bit of support
and training could help get this project back on track :-)

P.s. looking at their geomob slides, it's clear that they think they've
followed the import guidelines. Feels like they are making a good effort to
get this right so hopefully gentle help is the solution here.
