[Talk-nz] Announcing: OpenStreetCam competition

Thu Jan 24 23:08:54 UTC 2019

Hi all,

Let me give you a status update on the OpenStreetCam competition. We have about a week to go before the $100 prize and two $25 prizes will be awarded to the most prolific OpenStreetCammers. If you have the app, you can pull up the leaderboard and get some idea of where you stand.

The community had collected 18,000 images in New Zealand before December 1, when the competition started. Since then, you collected 69,000 more. We now have 2150 km covered in New Zealand. Wonderful! 

But still quite sparse. That brings me to Waylens dashboard cameras. Telenav had customized cameras made that capture and upload OpenStreetCam imagery automatically. OSM US has around 20 that they lend to their members. A blog post[1] explains in a bit more detail what these cameras are. We have some to give out. I would prefer to give them to one or more local communities who want to make an effort to capture their entire city or area. If you’re interested, please get in touch with me off-list.

Happy mapping,
Martijn

PS I’m not sure what happened in some of the messages below where I mention metrics for Australia rather than New Zealand. My apologies. Since we’re doing many of the same things in both countries at the moment I must have copy pasted a little too quickly. Sorry!

In case you're not familiar, OpenStreetCam is an open source / open data street level imagery collection platform for OSM. It is widely used to help improve OSM (through iD and JOSM) but there is not a lot of coverage in Australia yet. So with this competition we’re hoping to start to change that.
