Meeting Notes

Geology 69 and Geography 419 both might be good locations for meetings in the future. We've started a list of topics for future months here:

We will have a November meeting but no December meeting. Go to the Winter Coders social instead (check Calagator of details).

OSM Building import

We discussed this last at state of the Map in DC, but have not made progress because we took time off to organize FOSS4G. Notes from State of the Map are here:

https://github.com/pdxosgeo/pdxbldgimport/blob/master/SOTM-BoF-notes.md

Details about what we are working on are here:

and

Approx 80% +/- of the buildings are easily handled (one address per building etc), and edge cases should be able to be focused on after that first wave.

We could create a Task Manager process to work on the remaining 20% edge case problem buildings (apartment buildings for example). This would likely be a phase 2 process.

Metro is currently trying to improve the address data (Ben Sainsbury?) and this might cause us to want to wait for the next release. Grant will check with metro on this and report back.

Next step for the OSM-Import community is for us to complete the items in GitHub Issue #8, and release our plan to the community.
