OpenStreetMap: A Year of Edits 2013
Just like the last few years I've analysed all the edits to OpenStreetMap and produced a visualisation. This year I wanted to highlight different projects that OpenStreetMap contributors have done and so instead of having an uniform rotational spinning globe it moved between interesting events.
The result is: OpenStreetMap: A Year of Edits (2013):
This animation shows all additions and modifications of nodes (flashes) and cumulative edits (fading to purple) in 2013.
Some of the highlighted events in no particular order are:
-
Completion of the boundary data in France (In French)
You can see the video in HD on Vimeo.
I have started to make the code for this available through GitHub, but the code is very much not modularized and it is likely it will only work on my set-up. Perhaps I manage to fix this better during the upcoming year!
Mappy New Year!

Great work Derick congratulations, and thanks for sharing the code. In OSM Colombia we are trying to make it work, so we're looking forward if you could manage to make it easier to adapt. thanks!
So beautiful. Thank you!
Very nice. My Mapping Botswana project was too small in added points obviously to be noticeable on the global scale, pity!
I absolutely love these clips. Now that OSM becomes 10 years old this year, are there any plans to do a 30 minutes version of these 10 years?

I consider myself a decent photographer, but then you find out about the likes of Angel Fux (https://www.angelfux.com/portfolio), and I would like to crawl into a hole.
Better alignment from multiple GPS tracks for QE II Garden (and removed duplicated node)
After two busy days doing elections stuff, I spent yesterday looking at birds, in a nature reserve to relax and recharge.
I saw some cracking birds, with these being my favourite shots.
