Heads up please: Ambassadors map is now online.

[susmit shannigrahi]

Hi,

I am happy to let you know that finding out the nearest ambassadors,
which was once a tedious task, is now as simple as viewing a map.

Basically it is a backend script, which takes out the location data
out of FAS and render it to a map.  The map is here[1], it looks ugly.
We shall soon apply the fedora css to it, and patch the markers with a
nice icon. It will look nice then.

What is more important, a few people have got their location wrong.
Please correct it. Also, many have not set their locations at all. I
request you all to do it, as this will be the point of reference for
people outside the project from now on. You will find the instructions
here.[2]

If you have any problem, please let me know.

Thanks.

Hi Susmit,

Can you approve me into gitfama so I can commit a patch I made for it? 
If not, I'll just send it to you.  The patch is to set the path it
stores the .txt that is generated into, so that rsync will pick it up
when we sync it to the proxies.

The number of ambassadors is much more than this. Is it because the
script is only able to get details of those ambassadors who have made
their profile public? Or is it that such huge number of ambassadors
have not set their location? Just curious.

Hi Susmit,

thanks a lot for the work you have put into this. 

Unfortunately the in the wiki instructions are a little sparse. How to
find out one's latitude and longitude? You know a good web page to do
this? What notation and delimiters does the map use? How many decimal
places are allowed?

There are a lot of webpages doing this. Please search a bit.
I can put up a page for that too, but that will be overkill.
For example, itouchmap.com/latlong.html
there are a lot more using OSM/google map etc.

>  What notation and delimiters does the map use? 
You need to update your fas account.
The FAS takes input in degrees. If you find it out in degree and
minutes, please convert into fraction of degrees, like 1 degree 30
minutes = 1.5 degree, don't enter 1.30. If you find it out in 22.56,
it is fine. Enter it unaltered.

>  How many decimal

Not limited. You can use whatever you want to.
Thanks.

I was supposed to have everything in place, but I am not in the map.

Have asked for a postcard early I would send you one from El Salvador.
But now it is too late to send travelling postcards before going to my
home in Nicaragua. Next time!

I have talk some one into became Fedora Ambassador during my visit to
El Salvador. Does it exonerate me from sending postcards? ;-)

Yeah, the data for the map is generated by a cron job.  Actually for the
time being, it should be more like a hour or less, because for now we
have it generating the file on the hour and half hour and syncing to the
proxies 10 minutes later than that, but it will probably change to daily
at some point in the future.

If it doesn't update during this time period, feel free to let us know,
we had some issues earlier today, but I believe they are all fixed now.

I don't think you need to put up a wiki page for this, but at least one
page or one method should be mentioned on the page that you already set
up. I see you already added a paragraph about conversation, great.

>  there are a lot more using OSM/google map etc. 
Note OSM should be preferred since the map is based on OSM and there are
differences between OSM and Google Maps.

Last question: Is it supposed to be an ambassadors map or a "membership
map" for all contributors? You are using both terms.

Christoph

It seems only three ambassadors from Kolkata + Howrah have updated
their location.
In your case the open street map is just not good enough. Try to update that

A remarkably lame question, for me, the coordinates are: 18° 31' N
	73° 55' E - how do I enter that in the FAS account (given the
fraction aspect)

or alternatively,

18° 31' = 18 + (31/60) = 18.5166
73° 55 = 73 + (55/60) = 73.9166

Here is a method I found to get the latitude and longitude coordinates from
Google maps (maps.google.com), thus allowing you to find any point anywhere
(that Google can find).

http://lifehacker.com/software/google-maps/how-to-find-latitude-and-longi...

Just be sure the position you want is centered on the map.  So you would
enter the search terms (your address for ex.) into the Google map location
bar, hit enter, and then use this javascript in the browser location bar
(replace the maps.google.com with this javascript), do not move the map
around.  It works quite well.

Also be sure if you use NoScript in Firefox to allow JavaScript for
google.com.

That is because they have not updated their location information in
FAS /or have set them private.

It is a self service. If someone have that information in FAS, he/she
will be in the map. It is as simple as that. :)
Thanks.
