I love JOSM/Tools/Orthogonalize shapeI remember my first steps in OSM. I drew buildings using Yahoo images. How ugly they were! I spent hours, but they did not look like real houses, just some strange, crooked figures.
With JOSM it is much better!
Now I draw similar shape quickly and very approximately, press "Tools/Orthogonalize shape" and that's almost it. Sometimes it's needed to widen or to narrow the house.
Great thanks to JOSM community!

First post on my diary
Dear diary,
I'm contributing since february 2008, but never posted here. So let's give it a try.
My current town in France (Aix-En-Provence) is in progress, thanks to the work of a few OSMers. All "bicycle_rental" amenities have been taggued yet. Okay, there were just 16 (compared to the thousands in Paris) ... But I'm ready for an another goal now. I tried via the yahoo imagery to draw some buildings (including "private" / personal buildings) in the area but I don't know if it is a good idea or not. They all appear in pink on the map, and for sure this is not the priority. Perhaps should I focus on the streets (namings, oneways, ...) before trying to have a surcharged map with full of (useless ?) things.
While reading some stuffs on the net this evenning, I just fall on this : http://www.procedural.com/cityengine/features.html ; it looks like an interesting project - proprietary, but interesting anyway :-P. Relying on the webpage (and if I understand correctly), it can use OSM datas in order to make 3D views of cities (a colleague from my french school will work on her final internship on this software). But what about the licensing of the work resulting in the use of this application ? I hope to see a lot of 3D-rendered towns under creative commons. Wait and see ...
Sorry for my bad english, and see you later !

Medellin, get ready
I have just joined the OSM Community and my goal for 2009 is Medellin. I hope to find more contribuitors to the cause.
I can´t believe the city is covered less than 0.1%.

Newbie aus Minden, NRW / Germany
Hallo,
Bin gestern erst auf OSM gestoßen, dachte immer, es müßte doch mal ein freies Alternativprojekt zur "Gurgelmappe" geben - und gibt es schon längst! (*ganz-mächtig-freu*)
Will ma sehen, ob ich in Minden ein paar Korrekturen mache und werde wohl die Tage opensuse 11.1 installieren. In der opensuse 11.1 soll jetzt Marble mit OSM dabei sein.
Gruß

Teaching dad to map + Leeds, Sheffield & London
I'm back in London after a good Christmas holiday. I managed to progress the Holmfirth map a little bit, but perhaps more importantly I managed to teach my Dad to edit the map... maybe. It feels a little bit touch and go whether he will manage to master the technicalities of it after I've gone. It does look as though he will have the enthusiasm to go out and gather some more traces some time soon, so then hopefully he will be forced to remind himself how to edit some time in the near future. So the hope is that it will turn out like the "Teach a man to fish" proverb, except it's "teach a dad to map". This has also given me some ideas for things to explain differently in the Beginners Guide, and also some little things which could be more newbie friendly in JOSM.
I did a quick bit of mapping in Leeds, adding some bits to the little suburb of Chapel Allerton. Why is it that yahoo has no aerial imagary of this the UK's 5th biggest city? If anyone's experimenting with rocket/kite/balloon photography, this would be a good place to do it. In the meantime the Leeds community is doing an admirable job of mapping the city centre without it. Likewise in sheffield. I was able to just use the map while I was visiting there, which is always nice.
So back in London now, and it's the first London meet-up of 2009 on Wednesday.

Ligury, Italy: Hiking and climbing - Liguria: Escursioni ed arrampicate
Durante il periodo festivo di fine anno mi sono dedicato ad alcuni sentieri ed ho mappato:
- Cascine di Ronco Scrivia - Monte Reale - la Biurca (accanto alla Carega du diau) dove si trova la bella ferrata delle Rocche del Reopasso (Deanna Orlandini), ho segnato la Via dei Re (arrampicata con diversi tiri tra il II ed il VI+) - Crocefieschi.
http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=44.6008&lon=8.9936&zoom=14&layers=0B00FTF
- Alta Via dei Monti Liguri, tappe 26 e 27 dalla Crocetta d'Orero al Passo della Scoffera, percorsi con tempo di burrasca e raffiche ben superiori ai 40 nodi che sul crinale rendevano difficoltoso restare in piedi.
http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=44.4812&lon=9.0513&zoom=13&layers=0B00FTF
- Un anello che dalla periferia di Genova conduce al Monte Alpesisa (983m) passando da San Cosimo e San Martino di Struppa e indicato per una breve escursione da mezza giornata ai margini della città.
http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=44.4746&lon=9.0385&zoom=14&layers=00B0FTF
- Un anello che parte da Lerca, frazione di Cogoleto a pochi chilometri da Genova passando sul Bric Camulà (interessanti arrampicate sul lato NO), raggiungendo il Monte Rama a 1148m con vista sulla Corsica e l'arco alpino (nonostante la foschia), scendendo poco più ad est e toccando Vie storiche nell'arrampicata ligure quali la Via Zunino e le sue varianti.
http://www.openstreetmap.org/?lat=44.4126&lon=8.6367&zoom=14&layers=0B00FTF
Quindi chi pensa alla Liguria come solo un posto di mare si sbaglia di grosso; di tutta la rete regionale di 5000km attualmente vi sono circa 500km di sentieri mappati, la maggior parte dei quali in Provincia di Genova. Enjoy

Nordic cross-country skiing tracks in Vestmarka
For the last days I've been cross-country skiing in Vestmarka, enjoying outdoors and activity while collecting GPS data for OSM. Most ski pistes are in place, but need more snow in lower areas before visiting the remaining tracks. It can be seen on the Osmarender layer.

Editing of map data
Today I edited again the same area as a few days back. Hopefully the area is nearly complete now.

Data gathering in the snow
Did some data gathering in the same area I did a few days back to fill up some gaps. At one point I lost my GPS! Fortunately I foud it a few 100 m back laying on the middle of the way..

Driving around, traceing
Got a notice about an error nearby where I live, so when I had to go for a ride, I started my GPS to record a track. You can see it here:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/Anders%20Lund/traces/287044
To cover the three roads I wanted to, I had to drive three times, one time getting on to the highway. My Nokia N95 performed way better than I would have hoped and it was 'fun' to do.
Other than that, I have translated some more Wiki and fixing some errors reported at OpenStreetBug:

Suffolk
Done as much mapping as possible over new year in Walberswick, Suffolk. There is still quite a bit to be done in the village but it's starting to look ok. Quite a few residential streets need adding in, and there are rather a lot of unmapped footpaths to be added. The neighboring town of Southwold needs quite a lot of attention, and is considerably larger than OSM suggests.

The long way home (after christmas vacation)
Started Saturday morning on my drive from north of Narvik to Oslo. And to get a steady winter-road instead of snow and ice, I drove into Sweden again and down via the E45.
And I got a steady winter. -30C almost all the way through Sweden. Pretty cold when refueling in just a t-shirt....
But for the mapping, there should now be an uploaded track from my drive north. And another one for my drive south. They are both with a resolution of a log-point every 1 second.
That should give some good points to work over the existing E45-track, which in some bends and turns seems to be pretty rough.
I don't have the time to do that myself (it's alot of turns and bends in 1600km).
