Map of Kashmir when selecting the timezone is incorrect

[Nicholas]

When installing Ubuntu, I have to select the timezone. I notice that the map of Kashmir is incorrectly positioned and does not reflect the political situation of the volatile region. Ubuntu must keep political scenarios in mind to produce neutrally-labelled maps. The United Nations also produces neutral maps.

So this should be displayed when displaying maps of India, Pakistan and China: (See reference map: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:India-states-numbered.svg)

* Select India (IST):
** India selected.
** Kashmir and Arunachal Pradesh within India has a lighter shade
** Kashmir within Pakistan and China with an even lighter shade

* Select Pakistan (PST)
**Pakistan without Kashmir in standard shade
**Kashmir within Pakistan with a lighter shade

*Select China
**PRC standard shade
**PRC with Kashmir lighter shade
**PRC with Arunachal Pradesh with an even lighter shade.

Hope you can implement this in Ubuntu 9.10

The timezone map selector is part of ubiquity

[Steve Langasek (vorlon)]

this wasn't done in time for inclusion in the beta-1 images, pushing back to beta-2.

[Evan (ev)]

Ken is actively working on this. The implementation will be to show Kashmir as part of India for the visible layer, but the non-visible layer that maps mouse clicks to specific time zones will remain the same.

[Evan (ev)]

To clarify my previous comment, each timezone will show a disputed region as part of the country in that timezone on the visible layer.

[Kenneth Wimer (kwwii)]

I sent Evan images for plus 5, 5.5 and 8. These reflect the disputed Kashmir parts. India claims all of it, China claims part and Pakistan claims the part China doesn't. Must be confusing to set your watch.

Hi,

Thanks for the changes. I notice a major bugs with one of the images, so am listing them here, and also marked a modified copy of the areas in question.

BUG. For p5.5 (IST -- India)
* India's NE states have been completely omitted. This needs to be included. I have marked the area in red in the attachment for p5.5.

I think highlighting all the areas would be prone to confusion. This is what I suggest:

A. All disputed regions be marked out [done]
1. Administered+undisputed -- normal green colour
2. Administered+disputed -- green colour1=close to normal green
3. Not administered+claimed -- green colour2 = close to grey

There are two independent regions of interest regarding claimed territory.
1. Kashmir [India, Pakistan, China] [Regions marked: 1, 2, & 3]
2. Arunachal Pradesh [India, China] -- yet to be done -- Marked out as Region 4

For image P5, I have marked out region 3-A. This region should *not be* highlighted for timezone UTC+5 as it is administered by China but not claimed by Pakistan.

Thanks for looking into it.

Reopening, given Nicholas' comments.

Nicholas, we want to avoid using different colors for the highlight images. The approach we've come up with is to show the timezone band extending into the territories that countries within that band claim.

I will pass along your concern about the missing areas to Ken though, and I very much appreciate your attention and persistence on this bug.

Thanks!

[Kenneth Wimer (kwwii)]

hrm, for some reason I cannot open the archive from Nicholas ;-(

[Nicholas (nicholas-a)]

Thanks everyone!

Tried using the zip extension this time. Hope it works.

If alternate colours cannot be used, to avoid ambiguity, I suggest that only the timezone on ground (of the disputed region) be highlighted. So for Indian-administered Kashmir, UTC+5.5 is highlighted, For UTC+5, Pakistan-administered Kashmir is included. However, care would have to be taken the disputed boundary markings be set in place by using a dotted line or something to that effect, to depict that those borders are not an international boundary.

Hope this helps

Deferring from beta-2, but needs to make final.

Hi Kenneth,

Thanks for the updates. What software do you use to edit the images? There are still some inaccuracies that I would like to point out.

Regards,
--Nicholas

I use inkscape to edit the file. The hardest part is getting good information not our desire to make things correct

[Nicholas (nicholas-a)]

Do you edit an SVG or PNG rendering of the images? Cause the PNG images just plays up on Inkscape due to the low resolutions involved.

Kenneth, I would respectfully disagree on 'not our desire to make things correct' -- the whole philosophy of the free software movement is the empowerment of the individual to collaborate together to get things correct, and in this case, neutrally-produced maps.

Regards,
--Nicholas

I edit and SVG and export PNG files.

Let me clear up what I meant with my last comment, I think you misunderstood:

I meant that in some cases we do not have the proper information to make changes. Naturally, we want to get things right and we do appreciate all the help we can get :-)

[Nicholas (nicholas-a)]

Thanks for the clarifications Kenneth. :) So, in this case (timezones) what sort of help/information do you require? I can try doing my bit to get things perfect.

Do let me know.
