MychOSM - My community and my history in OpenStreetMap

Welcome - Bienvenido - Benvido - Bine ați venit - Willkommen


Part of the team in Kingston upon Hull, UK Meeting in Kingston upon Hull: Mapping, [[ES:MychOSM/A Guarda#Nuestras traduciones\|Translating], and produce weeklyOSM	Students from four countries came together for a Comenius school project MychOSM preparing field research on historical and geographical sites. This A0 print of OpenStreetMap was made using Mapwebbing.	Students on top of Monte Santa Trega a "Nacional Vértice Geodésico" most of them with OSMTracker ;-)

What are the aims of MychOSM?

To ensure that the OSM maps in the regions of the participating schools are up to date. If not, the students will track new routes and introduce the necessary POIs;
To map historical monuments, and in Germany especially, Stolpersteine;
To improve the database, produce related services (routing, historic maps) and make it available in all participating countries using Web 2.0 technology;
To organise the technical content so that it can be put onto the communities’ websites, and so that the political and social dimension of these new techniques can be readily discussed.

Results and products of the MychOSM project

Our schools in OSM - of course a sustainable result of the project ;-)

The weekly news from the OSM world: weeklyOSM

Our spin-off - weeklyOSM

Weekly OSM logo

weeklyOSM Team - Influential Writing Award from OSMFoundation

My community and my history in OpenStreetMap will also contribute to this blog, from which various messages from the OSM world are publicised to a wider audience. The main source of all our news is translated from the German-language “Wochennotiz“. Our blog has received considerable positive and encouraging feedback from the community; the best response has been from Satoshi IIDA a Japanese mapper, who has offered to translate the weekly OSM messages into Japanese. Now, we are proud to have also a French and Czech version. A version in Bahasa Indonesia and Portugues do Brasil complete the additional translations available until the end of the Comenius project; weeklyOSM will be continued with the support of the OSM community.

The project developed the infrastructure for weeklyOSM using Wordpress to host the Blog. Twitter and various mailing lists were used to disseminate information. Effective communication was achieved throught eh use of mailing lists, accounts on Rizzonma and , more recently, Slack.com.

Problems and solutions

Seven, Three, Four, Five

7-3-4-5	Comments
Who applied for?	We wrote the application (including objectives, work plan and timetable) with seven partners. Unfortunately, only three partners were approved. The three successful applicants invited another partner experienced in OSM and customized the objectives and rewrote the work plan and timetable. Nearly half a year after the start of the project it was necessary to incorporate an inexperienced partner. That meant customising objectives and rewriting the workplan and timetable again.
Welcome Romania	To have an other experienced partner on board, the three approved partners welcomed the school from Romania. See the partners on the map: We are Partners
Click on the map and you go directy to an online OSM based map. See BBS Saarburg / Hermeskeil - one school two places	Half a year after the project started, on February 17 2014, our Turkish partner was approved. ... See on this map zoomable map where all schools are located exactly

Solution: We customised the objectives and rewrote the workplan and the timetable twice.

Mapping archeological sites - Castro de Santa Trega

Mapping Santa Trega

How to do it?

in Trier - Kaiserthermen: [1]
in Rome - Basilica Iulia [2]

Solution

(Zecke a member of the community had the answer for us: [3])

Was mir in Trier nicht gefällt: Die Kaiserthermen sind komplett als ein Gebäude erfasst, ob wohl es ja eher ein Ansammlung von Mauern, Ruinen und erhaltenen Gewölben ist mit viel Rasen dazwischen. Da würde ich die Objekte eher einzeln erfassen und mit einer heritage-Relation zu den Kaiserthermen zusammenfassen. barrier=wall ist nun eine echte Zusatzinformation, die im ersten Beispiel gar nicht vorkommt. Ansonsten sind historic=ruins und ruins=yes beides valide Taggings. Wenn der Ruinenaspekt im Vordergrund steht, vielleicht eher letzteres, wenn dir eigentliche Funktion des Objekts im Vordergrund stehen soll, ruins lieber als Attribut, ebenso historic. Ansonsten gilt aber auch, je detaillierter, desto besser. Wenn man also genauer weiß, was für ein Gebäude es war, z.B. building=church; ruins=yes; historic=yes.

Project Management

We used Life Long Learning Mapping project#Tools for project management the same tools for our project management as the BoostOSM project.

As we had to completely re-organise the project several times we had a meeting of the steering committee only in November 2013 in Germany.

To coordinate the spin-off weeklyOSM with partners who are not members of the Comenius project (Japan, France, Czech Republic, Indonesia and Brasil) we used the free tool slack.

How can I apply for a similar project?
