Adding local user groups

!i! · 2011-02-13 08:48:29

Hi,

I guess not every nation listens on TALK mailinglist, so here my post again on the forums:

As some might know, the German division has a nice map of all local groups at www.openstreetmap.de.
Inspired by this one, I created an international version and a simple bot collecting all together.

So if you put this on the page of your local meeting wiki page:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Template:User_group
then you will appear after while here:
http://ikaria.informatik.uni-rostock.de … sergroups/

Would be very interesting where in the world is OSM a big topic and if they are similar organised like here. So I would be glad if you would notify on the localised mailinglists etc.

We read TALK, some of us do
The only problem we have with this is that we need to set a meeting place for our local user group.
We don't have a meeting place, we do it all online: talk-hr, irc, forum, skype ...
We met few times but always few different people and at different places.
So there is no central meeting place.

Well ok but a lot of people dont read TALK or their local TALK-XYZ lists

Well the focus is on the team aspect of course and that the people meet regular. It's on you to decide but to me this sounds more like a general nationwide project and not a local user group? Some others requested a second layer showing all the nations with it's projects. I will do that for sure but cause of the mass this needs another technique and that might need a few weeks

Yes, we treat it as a nationwide project.
We are curently taging all the primary, secondary, tertiary roads according to our national classification of roads, and everyone tags everywhere
We'll try to start our local meetings. If we start you'll know
