I hope that at least there won’t be glaring issues with the map after all the stuff that’s incompatible with the new license gets deleted. I really hope someone at the OSMF will review our progress. Speaking of the OSMF, they really should have been on the frontlines helping us with this transition.

Dang, only 2 1/2 hours left to do rempapping. Better get working!

FWIW, this isn’t licence-changeover downtime, this is install-a-new-server downtime. The licence-changeover work will start after that (though not necessarily immediately).

@chriscf, is that really so? If it is why didn’t the OSMF tell us that?!

Er, it was in the announcement of the downtime.

It’s not enough for them to just post on a mailing list. Most users including me do not subscribe to those; in fact some people might not even know about them. The post they had on their blog was not as clear as what you quoted here. It is about time OSMF realize that they need to make these important things crystal clear to reduce confusion.

FYI they actually said the opposite on this post on their blog. It said this:
“The long awaited and eagerly anticipated license upgrade is coming soon, the conclusion of a multi-year process. To minimise disruption to OpenStreetMap mappers and users, we’re taking the opportunity to install our new database server (funded by your generous contributions) at the same time – reducing the total amount of downtime needed.”
Anyway, whatever. At least we had the pleasant surprise of having additional time to complete the whole remapping process.

What nonsense. Keep reading. Scroll down a bit. Oh, look, there’s the proposed timetable.
