Experiment

Posted by William on 22 February 2018 in English.

Hello to the OGF World!

I read in some of the history books how Maria Theresa, queen of Austria, Hungary, Croatia and Bohemia, after some land were liberated from the ottoman rule decided to freely give large parts of land to the peasants from all around her kingdoms. So I decided to do something similar. ;)

As I noticed that as I’m mapping I start to repeat the same schema everywhere. So to introduce some diversity I’ll give a possibility to the everyone here to map some lands of my country. As my way of the mapping is largely historical - I start some town in the medieval ages and develop it modifying, changing, adapting urban elements to the new centuries - so we are going to do it that way :

imagine you’re somewhere between 1200 - 1800, and you were given the opportunity to take some land, in the countryside or inside some town, and map whatever you want : some family farm, manufacture, family countryside villa, shrine, college, etc. and name it - and it will be integrated in my work - i’ll develop it and it might become: town, protected historical heritage …

*Explore little bit my country : http://opengeofiction.net/#map=9/-45.4438/36.5323

*Explore the topography: http://wiki.opengeofiction.net/wiki/images/f/fc/TOPO_map_of_Montran.png

*the north of the country is reserved for French, west for Danish and rest for English

*the north is Switzerland-Austria like, south-west Tuscany like, and the rest: north France, north Germany, south England, Benelux like.

*be creative, be free, map wherever you want, do not delete existing elements and good luck!

*no permissions needed

I hope you will be generous ;)

Public competition

Posted by William on 11 October 2017 in English.

Dear OGF Mappers,

if there is someone who has the talent in designing roads and streets: i need help.

I’m trying to design this complicated intersection, but I’m not talented for this. (you can see it better in JOSM).

That is why I invite all those who are interested and competent to offer me their solutions.

This part of my city was built by the end of the 19 century so, the intersection should be designed from that perspective.

As a reward I offer:

1.To anyone who suggests something seriously: One street or park in the city named after them or someone from their OGF history.

2.To the winner of the competition: or

*mentioned square (crossroads) named after them or someone from their OGF history; or

*Avenue north of the square named after them or someone from their OGF history; or

*If you like something of buildings that I designed; I can make something similar in your country.

I hope there will be at least one offer. ;)
