Hi,

http://www.openstreetmap.org is a very cool project. Just discovered it for me, and spent the weekend with tracking and editing my hometown by car. Have a look here to see.

I am using SportsTracker for my Nokia E90 and JOSM for the editing at home.

Also checked for TrekBuddy on the phone to use a real moving map on the cellular. Maybe you want to use a little help for generating the map files for TrekBuddy?

Still much to learn, stay tuned for reports.

Regards
Usn

EDIT: Today (18th of June) at the LUG meeting in Mitterteich will be a short talk about OSM including some practices.

Today (huh, it’s still “today”) I attended a so-called parent’s training (in German “Elterntraining”) at a local grammar school (Kepler Gymnasium Weiden). It’s topic was the handling of youths in contact with computers, internet and addiction risks. The lecturer was Jörg Kabierske, Regensburg (klicksalat.de).

I was there just out of curiosity, to see what kind of questions would be asked, what kind of answers would be given. Since it’s a difficult field for sweeping answers, the latter point was a bit short – to some people’s regret.

Hi friends,

the Linux User Group Mitterteich has a new webpage and a new URI (http://www.linux-mitterteich.de). The old URI (http://www.lug-mitterteich.de.vu) will be redirected from today on.

Well, the page isn’t perfect at the moment – but finally we started working on it:

• The free template (made by Ramin Hossaini) used at the moment will be replaced: Maxi works on a new, customized one.
• I developed the page structure and filled it with first, generic and historical content, most items simply have been migrated it from the old page.
• By and by, the content will come.

Please review the new page, and tell me you opinion. I’d be glad.

Thanks

Hi Folx,

Hi,

this idea looks good to me: http://www.linux-lancers.com/de/
It’s a free job platform for Linux and OSS – I think the world needs things like this. Please let me know whether it works or not.

Good luck,

Hi,

TheBonsai started a brand-new bash forum at http://forum.bash-hackers.org. Since I know him as a real skilled bash poweruser it should be fun to learn from the site. Just have a look.

Yours,
