[FOSS4G-Oceania] Who is ready to commit to leading an activity on the community day?

And happy to help Ed with that!

I like the idea of having a discussion at least about a Melbourne/Australian OSM problem as doing it in person is always more efficient than doing it online. But happy to be guided by what people think would be best.

Happy to put my hand up for some OSM related activity under the Maptime Melbourne banner.

Four ideas come to mind:

- Choose a Melbourne/Aussie OSM problem that we can all solve together in the same room e.g.(highway exits, wheelchair accessibility, sacred indigenous sites)
- We go on a bit of a walk/field trip, using ODK Collect and Open Map Kit applications to gather map data around the venue
- HOT mapping task focused on Papua New Guinea. Phil and I had one a few weeks ago that was fun and will have another tomorrow.
- A street-level imagery themed session where we use objects detected in images to add data to OSM. This could be preceded with street-level imagery collection around the venue.*

*Disclaimer: conflict of interest on my part as I work for Mapillary. This I a fun session though and is usually very well received.

Definitely +1 for a QGIS focus on the Community Day. Perhaps it's time to get in touch with the QGIS Australia group (primarily Andrew Jeffrey, but also Nyall Dawson & Nathan Woodrow), and ask for their input. They might want to run with something at the code sprint, and they might also have ideas for something else too.

It's worth noting their event in Sydney in November 2017 was a big boost in getting our event started, and they were thinking about turning it into an annual event, so I feel it's important to make sure they are involved in this as much as they want to be.

The OSGeo community has always been very supportive of OSM, with many people having a foot in both camps.
I'm sure that listing an OSM activity would be seen very positively by the OSGeo board, and I think we would be remiss not to list something.

I'm hoping we have enough in house expertise and interest to do something with QGIS at the code sprint too.

Everything else listed would be a bonus.

Hi everyone,

I would certainly be interested in supporting humanitarian and local mapping events, but personally I will be probably too busy coordinating the entire community day itself to run one myself.

I think that we'll end up with a number of humanitarian projects seeking mappers, and probably one or two local mapping events. Please feel free to put your hands up if you want to run one of these on the day.

I've put up a tentative request-for-projects form at https://goo.gl/forms/pYn54vi0wWsBNqY53<https://goo.gl/forms/pYn54vi0wWsBNqY53>, and a more formal one should be on the website soon with Cholena's help!

Thanks everyone,

- David

David or Ed, are you planning some kind of OpenStreetMap mapping party for the community day? I'll be there to help out but not sure what you're planning.

I'm thinking a good activity would be helping do the manual part of a local import, I can sketch it out and lead it if we go ahead.

In terms of an OpenStreetMap code sprint, it's really going to depend on who's attending and their interests.

Neither of these are OSGeo related, so wouldn't expect them to count for the sponsorship.
