OSM changes to DC gov using changewithin?

[geobrando]

@lxbarth Was the possibility of regular updates to DC OCTO or other interested parties using changewithin ever discussed, similar to what you're doing in NYC? Is there a license impediment?

[lxbarth]

@geobrando - nothing's in the way of setting up a changewithin instance for DC, too. It's a good indication of what building and address data has changed on OSM - information that is potentially very useful for DC. Only thing impeded by the license is that it's not possible to copy data directly from OSM into the OCTO dataset.

@DavidYJackson Can you take a look at this and see if this is something that OCTO would be interested in?

@lxbarth If this is desired, I'm sure you and Mapbox could easily handle setting this up, but we could also maintain this through MappingDC.

@geobrando - as this is very easy to set up on a server ideally it's run by whoever is the main subscriber to the email notifications.

[geobrando]

@lxbarth Sure, but I thought the point was that you take the burden off the local gov or whatever so all they need to is provide an email address and a geography. I assumed NYC received change emails generated from an external server. Either way.

They run their own.
