In this slide I'll talk about how things going on Taiwan. What progress and big news is coming, and the difficulties that the community in Taiwan has to face and solve. OpenStreetMap is already used heavily in the bus and rail community. Now the hiking community in Taiwan is not only using the map for offline navigation when there's no network available, they also even add the trail missing.

Editor's Notes
- Hi everyone. I'm Dennis from Taiwan. Today I'm talking about the challenges and progress the OpenStreetMap Taiwan community is facing.
- Here is my profile. I'm also a Wikipedian. Host of Taipei meetup, and sometimes translating OpenStreetMap material or software.
- I think public transport data is most complicated data to map. So here is the route network of Taipe, to give you the idea of how the mapping in Taiwan is done. All the subway line is mapped and some route are added.
- Another example from hiking usage. The power line and tower is well mapped in Taiwan. The hiker use power tower and line to recognize where is he. Compare to another commercial maps have few data, OSM is very usefull.
- The hiking community engage more deepl yin OpenStreetMap project. Not only render hiking map, but also add missing trail.
- There are more community activities in Taiwan. Not only the big State of the Map Taiwan, but for the meetup in Two cities every month. Kaohsiung meetup is co hosed with Wikimedia community
- Here's the photo of the community activities. The Taipei Meetup, and this is the meetup during the Taiwan largest open source conference COSCUP, and the booth on COSCUP.
- Someone already knows Facebook use OpenStreetMap.
- The Facebook guys report how they use AI to recognize road feature on satellite image during the State uf the Map US. It's quite impress to see the progress.
- However, Facebook use OSM on checkin page, note only in Japan and South Korea, they test on Taiwan, China, and North Vietnam. For the community in Taiwan, Facebook act is a disaster
- Screensho I took last year when Facebook is testing on checkin page.
- The OpenStreetMap road network is not totally complete in Taiwan. Someone complain but doesn't not the complain send to OSM note. Not aware of what OSM is, the language is not polite and probability not aware it is public.
- For the community in Taiwan,the challenges of localization is the word and religion: different Chinese character use in different place, and totally different religious system in Taiwan
- First talk about the characters. Theres are twoo different type of characters: Traditional and Simplified Chinese, one is use in Taiwan, the other use in China. And make things worst is some terms (place name) is different. The name zh tag is not enough to distinguish.
- Here is an example. Despite Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macao use Traditional Chinese, and China use Simplified Chinese
- Despite the different character set, some terms are different. There are different names for Mt. Elveres, the one use in Taiwan, the another use in China.t
- So we have a proposed to solve the problem, distinguishing the difference between Traditional Chinese and Simplified Chinese.
- We also include the Formosa Austronesian language use in Taiwan.
- The temple in Taiwan is hard to define it below to Taoism or Buddhism. We could easy find one taoism deity in a Buddhism temple, and one Buddhism deity in Taoism temple . We usually find one more deities in a temple.
- There are many Historical figures is apotheosis and has its own temple, like the famous “行天宮”in Taipei.
- We have another propose to define the complex and totally different religion in Taiwan.
- There is a big news for OSM Tawain Community .A task led by mapbox to aligning road network according to Mapbox new Satellite image and Strava GPS trace. It is going on for awhiel . I hope it will finish soon.
