Hi Kay,

I really appreciate the work you did on rendering parking places in Germany. I would be glad to see your work extended to every place of the world! But I often see rose boxes instead of tiles when zooming in France in some places where parking places are located.

See for example : http://parking.openstreetmap.de/?zoom=15&lat=40.9688&lon=-5.66318

Is it a server limitation? Is it only due to a rendering not yet finished? Maybe do you know other similar rendering servers? Thanks, Teuxe (talk) 16:37, 13 February 2013 (UTC)

parking map with time restrictions?

Hi Kay,

parking.openstreetmap.de is awesome. But do you know of any facility where parking is rendered based on the time of day? That is to say, "I want to park here between 8am and 10am", and it will show you which parking is available at that time?

Thanks,

Hi,

first: thanks for rendering parking tags! I'm trying to add a lot of parking information for my hometown, but currently it needs up to a week until I see any changes. This way it takes a lot of time until I see mapping errors (or positive results). Is there anything you (or I) can do to accelerate rendering? (marking tiles as dirty has apparently no effect) --Trublu (talk) 10:40, 11 November 2013 (UTC)

Hi. First answer (if you look at parking.openstreetmap.de): The toolserver is about to be switched off, so it may be possible that no updates are processed there any more.

Second answer (if you look at parking.crite.net, my own server): Please note that until I get a living out of creating maps (or I find a sponsor) I must live with the smallest server Hetzner has to offer. Basically the disk drives are just slow enough to not cope with the minutely updates. So they keep piling up until the process is finished. This may get worse with more data in the DB. Currently an update cycle (and thus max lag) is about 2 days. Anyway, since about two weeks ago, some processes were blocking the CPU, I killed them. They may also be a reason for pink tiles lately. -- Kay

I was using parking.openstreetmap.de but will stop now. For a short while I'll use your server, but it seems to me, that a sensible action would be to setup my own server (possibly restricted to my hometown if possible, since I also don't have a big budget - the two smallest server classes from Manitu). Can I use your configuration to rebuild parking.openstreetmap.de? --Trublu (talk) 06:27, 13 November 2013 (UTC)

Missing file information

Hello! And thanks for your upload - but some extra info is necessary.

Sorry for bothering you about this, but it is important to know source of the uploaded files.

Are you the author of image File:P l d 4 on kerb marked.jpg ?

Or is it copied from some other place (which one?)?

Please, add this info to the file page - something like "I took this photo" or "downloaded from -website link-" or "I took this screeshot of program XYZ".

Doing this would be already very useful.

Licensing - photos

In case that you are the author of the image: Would you agree to open licensing of this image, allowing its use by anyone (similarly to your OSM edits)?

In case where it is a photo you (except relatively rare cases) author can make it available under a specific free license.

Would you be OK with CC0 (it allows use without attribution or any other requirement)?

Or do you prefer to require attribution and some other things using CC-BY-SA-4.0?

If you are the author: Please add {{CC0-self}} to the file page to publish the image under CC0 license.

You can also use {{CC-BY-SA-4.0-self}} to publish under CC-BY-SA-4.0 license.

Once you add missing data - please remove {{Unknown|subcategory=uploader notified March 2022}} from the file page.

Licensing - other images

If it is not a photo situation gets a bit more complicated.

See Drafts/Media file license chart that may help.

note: if you took screenshot of program made by someone else, screenshot of OSM editor with aerial imagery: then licensing of that elements also matter and you are not a sole author.

note: If you downloaded image made by someone else then you are NOT the author.

Note that in cases where photo is a screenshot of some software interface: usually it is needed to handle also copyright of software itself.

Note that in cases where aerial imagery is present: also licensing of an aerial imagery matter.

Help

Feel free to ask for help if you need it - you can do it for example by asking on Talk:Wiki: new topic.

Please ask there if you are not sure what is the proper next step. Especially when you are uploading files that are not your own work or are derivative work (screenshots, composition of images, using aerial imagery etc).

If you are interested in wider discussion about handling licencing at OSM Wiki, see this thread.

(sorry if I missed something that already states license and source: I am looking through over 20 000 files and fixing obvious cases on my own, in other I ask people who upladed files, but it is possible that I missed something - in such case also please answer)

Thanks for the hint. I simply added CC0, as they are my own photos. Kay D (talk) 19:25, 17 March 2022 (UTC)
