#balticgit2023 — Public Fediverse posts

Ja šogad netiki uz #SOTMBaltics un #BalticGIT2023, daļa uzstāšanos tagad redzamas video - par to liels paldies @zverik, kurš pats arī redzams vienā no tiem :)

"Būtībā "OpenStreetMap" fokusējas uz kopienu zinātni un to, ka kopiena, sabiedrība un cilvēki paši līdzrada datus, kas ir visiem vajadzīgi un kurus visi var brīvi lietot.
Par #balticgit2023 un #sotm un kartēšanu - Regita Zeiļa un Elīna Jakubaņeca.

Daily #OpenStreetMap contributor count in Latvia - we're likely seeing some effect from the #SOTMBaltics and #BalticGIT2023 taking place in Riga on June 8 and 9 :)

Terrain models. Justina said that the slide might look messy - compared to some walls of text, this is not messy at all :)
#BalticGIT2023

Power lines detected and actually vectorised.
#BalticGIT2023

More classification!
#BalticGIT2023

Justina Kliukaite demonstrates UAV usage and LIDAR data processing to build city models.
#BalticGIT2023

Clustering as a solution.
Those dirty, dirty clusters.
#SOTMBaltics #BalticGIT2023

Zooming out we cannot keep all the detail and all the scale - how to change it and keep it readable?
#SOTMBaltics #BalticGIT2023

Tomas Straupis takes us into a more complicated topic - generalisation.
#SOTMBaltics #BalticGIT2023

Alpo Turunen and Hanno Kuus talk about the new and upcoming geo standards.
#BalticGIT2023

This is now an #OSMDeck!
An #OpenStreetMap community member demonstrates @organicmaps running on #SteamDeck.

Pekka Sarkola from Finland - speaking in Riga, Latvia:
"It's great to be in a #NATO country, I feel safe. I was in Sweden recently, and it felt a bit unsafe."
#BalticGIT2023

More OSM events for students by TomTom - this time in Egypt.
So much potential for student/university activity in Latvia :)
#SOTMBaltics #BalticGIT2023

Also helping universities to engage open solutions and data - collaborating with the University of Łódź on OSM mapping as a teaching tool.
They mapped restaurants, pubs and other POIs.
With several conference attendees and speakers mentioning the lack of open solutions at universities, there's some potential for our host, University of Latvia, as well :)
#SOTMBaltics #BalticGIT2023

Collaboration with #GeoChicas and other groups, supporting women - maybe Riga #TechGirls one day?
#SOTMBaltics #BalticGIT2023

Tomasz mentions TomTom organising mapping parties and OSM teaching sessions among other OSM-related activities.
#SOTMBaltics #BalticGIT2023

The worlwide team at TomTom that's involved in OSM editing.
#SOTMBaltics #BalticGIT2023

Tomasz Kozlowski from #TomTom shares their involvement in #OpenStreetMap.
#SOTMBaltics #BalticGIT2023

Data quality issues in one area (building outlines in OSM or in the cadastre) can lead to problems in other areas like address matching.
#SOTMBaltics #BalticGIT2023

Ooh, addresses and what's displayed on the buildings... this goes against the #GroundTruth principle of #OpenStreetMap, right? :)
#SOTMBaltics #BalticGIT2023

You might have noticed that the address coverage is now really great in OpenStreetMap for Latvia - Dāvis Kļaviņš knows everything about it, and is sharing it right now :)
#SOTMBaltics #BalticGIT2023

The #OpenStreetMap tags we mostly know about in the community, but plenty of non-OSM people will have revelations here ;)
#SOTMBaltics #BalticGIT2023

Ilya Zverev kicks off the second day of #SOTMBaltics - using his huge experience to share information on extracting data from OSM.
#BalticGIT2023

Not OSM related, but still in #BalticGIT2023 - Armands Meirāns talks about 5G and the relation of it to GIS.

The OSM community in Lithuania has quite a lot of automatic checks running on data.

#SOTMBaltics #BalticGIT2023

Automation! I'd boost anything about automation, but this is #OpenStreetMap QA, so double love.

#SOTMBaltics #BalticGIT2023

OSM community members often know this, but a crucial bit for others: OSM data has no guarantees of being homogenous.

#SOTMBaltics #BalticGIT2023

Tomas Straupis will share the experience from Lithuania on a very popular topic - how is quality assured in OSM?

#SOTMBaltics #BalticGIT2023

Regita's take on what would help other beginners:
* Practical workshops
* Hints - what can we even map?
* Do targeted (thematic) mapping
* Encourage geography teachers to join
