Good to meet you
Good to meet you on Friday. It was you I was sitting next to in the pub right?
I recognised your name, but couldn't remember from where. You are of course the creator of Image:LondonProgress.gif and the mighty postcodes map Great stuff! What other toys have you made? You should show off a bit more on your user page.

Yes, that was me! I've updated my user page for you.

GPS Points
i want to ask if you may give me a hint how you created the images. is the script online? i would love to hear from you. --Xsteadfastx 13:55, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
- It's a relatively simple python script that creates a big 2d array for the image and then just counts how many points fit in each box. The code then scales the colours based on the 95th percentile frequency (or there abouts) to render the image. I'll put up the code when I next get a chance. Randomjunk 13:09, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
I Dave!
I tried to use your simple python script to render some gpx files, but the following error occurs:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "renderPoints.py", line 186, in <module>
renderToImage(freqArray, im, col)
File "renderPoints.py", line 131, in renderToImage
pixels[x, h-y-1] = colorFunc( min(1.0, freqArray[i] / float(dist[-1])) )
ZeroDivisionError: float division

Thanks in advance!

Brixton?
Hi Dave. Coming along to Brixton meet-up on Wednesday?
On your unnamed ways map, for Brixton I spotted a funny looking set of streets. They're highway=tertiary. Looks like they're missing the inner saussage.
-- Harry Wood 13:53, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
- yes, I'll be there... I know about the tertiary roads... it's a
bug I can't be arsed to fixspecial feature to highlight them. -- Randomjunk 15:55, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
West of East Acton
Slice 11 hey? The streets already on there are ones I bagged during an off-cake excursion at the Shepherd's bush evening. Looks like I managed to miss quite a few but I know there's at least some which geniunely don't have names (Did we come up with a tag for that yet?) I didn't go to the area to west of the train line, but I peered in that direction from a footbridge. I seem to remember some construction work over that way, so the yahoo sketched road layout may be wrong.
Going to London Wiki Wednesdays tonight, so I'm not going to make it, which is frustrating because it would've been really easy for me to get to this one. Ah well... have fun. -- Harry Wood 10:42, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
yeah, it was mostly extending the existing names. There were a few side streets which you can tell from the numbering were just part of the main street so should have the same name. I only found one street without a name board, but again, extrapolating the numbering shows it's the same street as further up. Randomjunk 11:19, 14 August 2008 (UTC)
Contact Details
Hello Dave(?).
Could you add some way of contacting you to your user-page? It would help getting in touch with you. --MarcusWolschon 12:37, 13 February 2009 (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:London-gps.png ?
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)
