Contributions from user inas have been blocked.
Hi,
For the record, I have not made any edits to OSM to this point for the
purposes of removing non-CT data.
All efforts I have made have been incorporating improvements made from
survey, with the best intention of improving the map.
From what I can see my contributions were stopped into FOSM on the say-
so of a single user, during a holiday period, without any backing
evidence, without a reason being given, without any other person
checking, and without any issues being raised with me.
I guess I can understand this reaction in the current climate, but I
do hope this isn't indicative of the approach of the project going
forward.
Ian.

You can manually upload your osm files to both osm.org and fosm.org I believe?
This is about importing any changes you make to osm.org in 2012 of
which I cannot see any. Hopefully Franc can explain which changeset
made him decide to make that request, probably casting a wide net for
maxspeed changes which are a favorite of those who do want to purge
OSM of non-CT data.

2007 we were mapping swathes of alternate streets of a blank Sydney
map. I'm a member of the FOSM group since it started with the same
username. You could easily have contacted me for clarification
before sending a block request to a public list. It wasn't as if I
was making rapid changes that needed to be dealt with, I hadn't been
within a cooee of a computer for the week before you sent the email,
and haven't made a change since.
If there was a downside to FOSM, I'd have been happy to acquiesce to
the reasons why and nominate myself.

mainstream OSM project to see what can be salvaged out of the licence
change fiasco, so I unfortunately expect to have my hands full beyond
manually importing changesets into FOSM, for now! As always, my
contributions from survey are completely unencumbered, and free for
anyone to use for any purpose, should anyone consider their value to
have a "net gain".
FOSM can and should select the edits it wants. I want to see an
effective fork after the licence change, and mirroring the deletes
won't give you that. However, if individual users are identified in a
public forum as being "blocked", then you should be fair, by minimally
stating the reasons why, rather than leaving it open and implied.

You are not stopped from contributing, any edits you made to OSM are in
a holding pattern. We can import these, and use cc-by-sa data from them.
Thankyou for advising us of the situation.
All edits to Australian content are about to go to the holding pattern,
I'm sorry we jumped the gun with yours and have caused offence.
