I’m giving a talk about Geograph British Isles to Hertfordshire Linux User Group in Stevenage on Wednesday 11th Oct, 7:30pm. Venue is licenced, so pop along for a pint and a geeky chinwag if you are in the area…
Venue is here, but note the venue is on the south side of Shephall Green, not the north side as indicated by Google Maps!
Geograph grows restless for the much promised tagging feature, I’ve promised to complete it by end of October. An avid contributor “USElaine” is chomping at the bit for tagging, so I’ve promised to send her 100 Moo minicards of Geograph images if I don’t manage to do it!
I went to my first ever HertsLUG meeting last night as OpenStreetMap were giving a talk. While I lurk on the OpenStreetMap mailing list and was familiar with their project, it was interesting to see the various tools demonstrated. JOSM, their primary online collaborative editor, looked particularly capable.
I was hoping to bend the ears of some of the OpenStreetMap chaps about Geograph and Ordnance Survey issues, but the talk went on a little longer than planned and I had to leave to transport a colleague back to the train station. Even so, it was worthwhile and has inspired me to go out and at least map my home town of Baldock.
My first post in September. Must try harder!
