2011-04-06: 4th Informal talk STUK, Leuven
Type: informal talk
Location: Leuven STUK kunstencentrum, Naamsestraat 96, Leuven, tel 016 320 300
Date: Wednesday, 6th of April 2011 at 19:30
Parking (betalend: avondtarief van 3 euro tussen 19u en 3u): Heilig Hartkliniek
Agenda
- kennismaking
- flyer OSM
- cycleway / footway
- landuse
- oprichten user_group ?
- vul hier uw suggesties in
Besproken:
- Gebouwen op een efficiënte wijze maken in JOSM gebruik makend van AddrInterpolation, BuildingsTools en Terracer. Er zijn nog een paar zwakke punten in dit workflow ivm. hoe Terracer punten (en dus ook hun history) verwijdert.
- Het gebruik van associatedStreet in een industriezone of campus. Deze gebieden kunnen nog niet echt goed geadresseerd worden, en worden ook niet door Nominatim gedetecteerd. Mogelijk moeten we een voorstel doen om associatedStreet uit te breiden waarbij de 'street' ook een gebied mag zijn.
- Scripting met Python in JOSM. We zijn er aan uit geraakt hoe een script te schrijven dat een tag kan toevoegen aan een node. Dit testscriptje zal ergens online komen, en nu dat de juiste workflow gekend is kan de syntax uit voorbeelden in andere talen (Groovy bvb.) gehaald worden (API blijkt tot zover identiek te zijn) en scripts geschreven worden.
2011-03-16: 3th Informal talk STUK, Leuven
Type: informal talk
Location: Leuven STUK kunstencentrum, Naamsestraat 96, Leuven, tel 016 320 300
Date: Wednesday, 16th of March 2011 at 19:15
Parking (betalend: avondtarief van 3 euro tussen 19u en 3u): Heilig Hartkliniek

Ivo De Broeck
Gerard
Karel Adams
Jan-willem
Agenda
- kennismaking
- huisnummers - potlach 2/JOSM
- landuse en farm/farmyard/farmland/field
Conclusies:
- farmland is een duidelijkere tag voor farm, omdat sommigen voordien de farmyard aanduidden als farm
- farmyard = "het erf" van een boerderij = stukje land waar de bedrijfsgebouwen staan
- farmland = landbouwgrond
- maandelijkse samenkomsten elke 1ste woensdag van de maand : volgende vergadering = 6 april om 19:30

Party began with an extensive newspaper interview. And we did get newspaper coverage! [De Gentenaar / Het Nieuwsblad]
Unfortunately one person's GPS traces were lost through the miracles of technology. Fair progress was made but much remains to be done.
Cake diagram
Results
- Industriezone Europalaan
- from Europalaan till village Machelen
- Woonwijken Watertorenstraat & Molenpark
Still to be done

- Village Machelen (some footpaths there), and everything South and West from there
(( left here the previous text from the "upcoming" section ))
Some people in Eastflanders are planning a mapping party in April. The location would be Deinze. As far as OSM is concerned this is mostly terra incognita http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=50.989019&lon=3.5&zoom=12 so it should be spectacular to go mapping there.
It's also easily accessed by train and by highway (E17). The date is fixed at Sunday April 18. A first start of the splitup of the territory can be found here (made use of the competition :) http://maps.google.be/maps/ms?hl=nl&ie=UTF8&msa=0&msid=115156197198343391457.0004820fe7d0e9e1e145b&z=12.
We will meet at the station at 10am, gather tracks until 1pm, grab a bite and go to De Ceder (www.deceder.be) where we will have a meeting-room at our disposal. Bike hiring could be done in
http://www.hetverzet.be/ for about 11€/day which is about the same thing as
bringing it along on the train (9€ for a day pass; 5€ for one ride only). Please notify me if you are
interested. Pietje leugenaar 07:05, 30 March 2010 (UTC)
2010-03-28: Mapping party Turnhout
- Type: Mapping party
- Date: Sunday March 28
- Start time: 10h00
- Location: Brasserie't Stadspark, Parklaan 56, Turnhout. The site of the brasserie has a map here. Should not be too hard to find
- Attended: eimai, speedy, ivom, mdeen, karel, kurt, filip wolters
A mapping party was held in the city of Turnhout and it's surroundings. Some zones were mapped, and after rain shower the party turned in a lively OSM-cafe meeting.
Cake diagram
The cake map is based on a tiny dataset, which contains a set of closed ways (waterway=river, name=3 for zone 3) and for each closed way a separate place=suburb, name=Zone 3" is used. The actual map is built by rolling the data through mapnik on top of a simplified base layer (basically streets and landuse).
The Garmin gmapsupp.img file contains two osm-data derived maps (base map + a maplint version) and the zones as separate maps created with MkgMap. The idea here is to be able to visit certain zones and stay within them. The idea was tried out during the mapping party and was useful for some Garmin users.
Results
The resulting traces from the party you find on the right.

Nice evening. Good conversation, we even talked about OSM every once in a while :-). Data loggers, free software and different kinds of software for processing the traces and the pictures were also a topic, of course. It was good to get to know a few people in person.
