Everyone in the open-source and open-data geospatial community is welcome, attendance will be free, with catering provided, and you absolutely don't need to be registered for the conference itself to attend. Please feel free to turn up for the whole day (9am-5pm) or for any part of the day that suits you. We will be hosting mapathons, geospatial software codesprints, how-to workshops and many other exciting events run by you, our great open-source and open-data community members. I look forward to seeing you there, so please head to https://foss4g-oceania.org/program/community-day to get more information, or directly to http://communityday.foss4g-oceania.org/ to register to let us know you are coming! Please pass this email or send the above links to anyone you think might be interested, and happy mapping!

Message-ID: <62E1EDB4-E925-4DFE-984B-B1F9ED48B9BC@rtijn.org> Hi all. I’m new on this list. My name is Martijn van Exel. I am Dutch but live in the U.S.A. where I work for Telenav. We use OSM for some of our car navigation products. We have a page on the OSM wiki that has more about us: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Telenav We are looking at possibly helping to improve the map in New Zealand. We are not making any improvements yet. We will keep you updated as our plans materialize. For now I just wanted to say hi and ask a couple of questions if I may: 1. I noticed that it is fairly quiet here. Are there other lists / chats where we should connect with the community in New Zealand? 2. We found a page with some information on NZ data imports on the OSM wiki, but there aren’t many recent updates. What do you all think about creating a page modeled after https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Australian_Data_Catalogue to keep track of potential data sources to use for mapping? (I took the liberty to create a stub, https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_New_Zealand/New_Zealand_Data_Catalogue .) Some of my team members may join this list as well with updates or questions. I wish I could attend the upcoming SOTM / FOSS4G Oceania and meet some of you there, but unfortunately that is not going to work out :( Have fun! Happy mapping, Martijn -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Examples are the apps themselves and the machine learning component that powers sign detection.Furthermore OpenStreetCam has no specific business model of its own. Telenav built it to help improve OSM and does not use your images or the data derived from them for paid products it sells to others.I hope this helps, -- Martijn van Exel m at rtijn.org On Sun, Dec 9, 2018, at 16:43, Harry Chapman wrote: > Hi Martijn, > > What's the advantage of OpenStreetCam over Mapillary?

They advised me (since it was my account that the shared key was created from) that they "love people using the data via JOSM, but we just need it to be on a per-user basis". So to continue to use these layers you'll need to create your own API key at https://data.linz.govt.nz/ then replace it in these URLs which can be added as custom layers in JOSM and iD.

Their proposal is to setup an OSGeo Oceania entity against the terms of reference at https://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/foss4g-oceania/attachments/20181214/f7637cbb/attachment-0001.pdf The rationale behind this originally stemmed from a desire for an organisation to run our regional joint FOSS4G and SotM conference, but the proposal is for "Its purpose is to foster the growth of the geospatial open source & open data community in the Oceania region, including the oversight and stewardship of a FOSS4G & SotM Conference series." The proposed OSGeo Oceania entity would be similar to the German FOSSGIS eV https://www.fossgis.de/ which is both the German OSMF Local Chapter and the Open Source Geospatial organisation. The OSGeo Oceania terms of reference explicitly state the intention to become an OSMF Local Chapter https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Local_Chapters, so I feel it's important the whole community here is aware and has the opportunity to get involved. Personally I think a local chapter is a good thing, it can be used to foster the growth of OpenStreetMap within Australia, New Zealand and the pacific islands. On my personal wish list: 1. Set up a local HOT Tasking Manager to be used locally for all kinds of mapping coordination, including post disaster 2. LGA level extracts, this will hopefully make OSM data even more accessible by local government and help promote OpenStreetMap within local government 3. Take control of openstreetmap.org.au though the OpenStreetMap trademark in Australia that OSMF holds 4. A rendering of the OSM Carto style but showing indigenous names. 5. Provide a contact point for government I have concerns too: 1. Have we reached out to the pacific islands OpenStreetMap community? If we're starting a Local Chapter that includes them, they need to be involved in it. (This email is one step to try to get the Australian and New Zealand communities involved) 2. An OSMF Local Chapter for our region should have the goal to foster the growth of the OpenStreetMap project within our region. In my opinion this should include supporting OpenStreetMap within proprietary software and services, so long as in line with the OpenStreetMap license. A joint OSGeo Oceania should be okay with supporting OpenStreetMap and even promoting it together with non free and open source geospatial software. 3. Funding and money. Funds could be raised through individual memberships like OSMF and organisation supporters/sponsors. At the moment the OSGeo Oceania terms of reference don't go into that detail, it's mostly around running the conference. I'm unsure how the funds raised would flow into funds distributed, would a sponsor or member be able to choose if they want their contribution allocated towards just OpenStreetMap, just free and open source software, or both? What about at a country level?

I'm hopeful this will be seen as a positive move, taken in the spirit it's intended - to enable and empower the OSM and open source geospatial communities to work together with common purpose. For this new organisation (OSGeo Oceania) to legitimately claim to represent the OSM community, it will certainly need ongoing engagement from OSM people from around the region. Ideally this will include active participation in the governance & management of the organisation. Representation of the OSM community on the board of the new org is explicitly stated as an objective in the newly-written Terms of Reference . Looking forward to carrying on the discussion. Cheers!
