Editor's Notes
- Thank you for Open Data Manchester for hosting us. I originally proposed a “train the trainers” workshop, so let’s start with what I always do… Hands up if… You know of OpenStreetMap? You have edited OpenStreetMap? You are an OSM UK member?
- What is OSM? (read out) So let’s long in detail at what that means
- “Free as-in beer” means you get to use it, subject ot limitations of the offer. Like other maps. “Free as in speech” not about how full the glass is, you get more. You get the beer recipie and the right to brew your own. In map terms, you get the data that made the map & we’ll see what you can do with that data.
- Another common description. Meaning it can be updated/improved by anyone. This means it is as up-to-date and as complete/detailed as I, you, anyone, makes it. Very good for Humanitarian use (a talk in itself).
- So let’s long at the map… This is as it was when it started.
- Switch to web browser. osm.org/ In workshops, I encourage people to look this themselves. Find your home, work place, etc. See what we have made. Use the map layers button on the right. Explain the freedom to create other styles Why, what for
- So many styles, even a website to show many of them in a random fashon.
- Live demo of Overpass Turbo https://overpass-turbo.eu/ Query of emergency=defibillator Or amenity=library Or building=university Might not show on the main map styles but we can query the data to find it. Bottom right shows total count. Campainging opprtunities, or other ideas, such as thinking about where I’d rather have a heart attack.
- So how do we, and what. Verifiable on the ground – not subjective Surveying methods vary for amount of data or preferred style. If in doubt whether it can be mapped, record it. Discuss with experienced mappers how to add it when you get back to the computer.
- Planning methods (explain cakes & HOT) Apps, that may aid mappers MapSwipe + camera apps or edit directly. https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/StreetComplete
- Then back at the computer. Sometimes I do a live tutorial. Other times I say use the osm.org walkthrough Edit button asks you if you want to do the walkthrough when you first use it (or press help in button right of editor). Help links from top right of osm.org Good after the event.
- Not just about the data, also the metadata. How many welsh names have we mapped (visualisation is a work in progress)? What have I mapped? http://hdyc.neis-one.org/?LivingWithDragons Once people are mapping at a workshop, somethimes I map on the project so people can see Other times I leave this on, to show how many people are currrently improving the map https://osmlab.github.io/show-me-the-way/
- I mentioned a lot of URLS, note these ones osm.org is a short link osmuk.org to see learn what we do /help is the button at the top Thank you.
