WeeklyOSM informed us recently, that the videos of the recent SOTM FR are now available at https://peertube.openstreetmap.fr/c/sotm_fr_2024/videos.
There are english subtitles that seem to be good enough to get the gist of the video. Which is why I asked ChatGPT to take the RSS feed and create a translated summary so I can pick those that I find most interesting.
I thought this might be interesting for other, so here is the list…
25 - OSerM: Mapping Stations Today to Improve Them Tomorrow

28 - Carto Graou: Mapping Under the Trains
Summary: Nicolas Wurtz presents the story and future of “Carto Graou,” an online public railway map. Using polygons, lines, and points similar to LEGO pieces, the project integrates real-time data, opendata, and opensource elements. Initially aimed at enthusiasts, it has become indispensable and even useful for SNCF employees, with OpenStreetMap playing a crucial role in its success.

63 - OSMTracker-Android | Customize, Contribute, and Maintain
Summary: This presentation aims to (re)introduce the OSMTracker app on Android. This app allows contributions to OpenStreetMap without compromising road safety or the enjoyment of a bike ride or walk. Learn why to use this tool, how to customize it, how to use it for contributing to OpenStreetMap, and finally, how and why to maintain it. Throughout this presentation, the speaker shares their work on the tool and how to facilitate contributions for beginner (iD editor) and intermediate/advanced (JOSM) contributors.

53 - Cyclist Accommodation in Commercial Areas
Summary: What is the quality of the accommodation provided to cyclists by the stores in a commercial area? Three criteria are used to evaluate bicycle parking: quality, quantity, and proximity. All of this is based on OpenStreetMap data, of course! The stores are then categorized into four groups: green (best), yellow, orange, or red (worst). Those that provide good accommodations for cyclists are highlighted, while the others are called out. This presentation covers OSM topics such as “amenity=bicycle_parking,” overpass turbo, and umap, with a difficulty level of easy to medium. More generally, it discusses cycling, cycling policy, and cycling infrastructure. This is an ongoing associative work conducted in Grenoble, and your ideas to improve it are welcome!

12 - The OCSGE and CoSIA of IGN: A New Opportunity for OSM?
Summary: Updating land use in OpenStreetMap (OSM) is crucial as OSM has become a reference, and ecological transition policies require precise and up-to-date data. In 2009, the import of Corine Land Cover provided initial coverage for OSM in France. Since then, the territory has evolved significantly, and new precise data from IGN (OCSGE and CoSIA) encourages the OSM community to update maps. OCSGE is a free and open database, while CoSIA describes land cover using AI. This presentation offers insights into updating land use in OSM using IGN data and field verifications.

41.a Salle 324 - GIS Architecture at SDIS34 for Exploiting OSM Data
Summary: SDIS34 utilizes OSM data within its GIS service. Following previous presentations, this session delves into the technical architecture implemented for this purpose. It covers the LeBonTag application, PostGIS databases, SQL queries for thematic data extraction from OSM, materialized views, and automation of extractions via Python scripts. Aimed at somewhat technical profiles, the presentation strives to remain accessible to a broader audience.

41.b Salle 326 - OSM & Accessibility for Disabled People: Keys to Understanding and Tools for Contribution
Summary: Accessibility is crucial for disabled people, requiring suitable accommodations and reliable information for journey planning. The Mobility Orientation Law of December 24, 2019, mandates local authorities to create databases on the accessibility of transportation and roads. Since April 2024, the open-source tool Acceslibre Mobilité has been available for data collection. OSM plays a key role by enabling the community to map the specific needs of users. The OSM community, driven by CNIG since 2020, has worked at both international and national levels to better structure disability-related data. New initiatives and collection tools are emerging, enhancing environmental accessibility and user information.

61 - Bicycle Parking in Major European Cities: A Reflection of European (Mapping) Inequalities?
Summary: How do major French cities compare to other major European cities in terms of bicycle parking? To answer this question, Geovelo conducted a comparative analysis using OpenStreetMap data. Do the study results reflect contribution inequalities or actual infrastructure differences? This presentation attempts to answer that question.
