Andy notes:

‘Now over 4000 registered users, 40 million gps trackpoints uploaded and over 4 million ways created. […] Latest charts are at http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Stats‘

The month of OSM is an attempt to see if I can work on OSM for a full month… and get paid. Its a pledge bank, more details on the site. And, of course, there is an RSS Feed 🙂

The tracker for JOSM bugs in http://trac.openstreetmap.org has moved and merged into the one at ..

In the past, two trackers existed and both are now merged to reduce the number of places to look for new bugs ;). Unfortunatly I cannot close the existing bugs at trac.openstreetmap.org – there is a (temporary?) problem with the server and I am not able to login.

So for future bug reporting, use josm.eigenheimstrasse.de

Ciao, Imi.

IT conversations have put up my talk from Where 2.0 with a summary.

As the number of mapping events continues to rise a big problem is the lack of shared GPS units we can lend people. Mikel has kicked off a solution and is looking for help.

I’ll be speaking at Futuresonic in a week and a bits time in Manchester. The program looks awsome, and follows on from mapchester.

That’s about 231 straight days worth of GPS data if you conservatively have it at 1 point a second. It actually represents a much longer time since a lot of people go out and collect track data for a few hours a day at most, and often at less frequent intervals than 1 hertz. The lucky point (48.30426, 11.919947) was in this GPX upload.

Nick Black is keeping a blog of his OSM activities which include his Masters thesis…

This post to the OSM mailing list kicks off the voting / nominating for the OSM Foundation initial board, with wiki activity too. This follows a past IRC discussion.
