The Sister city relationship between San Francisco and Osaka isn’t San Francisco’s only sister city relationship, but is the oldest, founded in 1957. To recognize that relationship, we will be celebrating Osaka Matsuri on August 27, 2016 in Japantown.
We will have performances at the Peace Plaza. (The pagoda in the center of the plaza was a gift from Osaka.) Many of the restaurants in Japantown will be serving food that originated in Osaka.
You can find all the details of the festival with this app. It has the schedule of performances and activities, and the restaurants and businesses that are partnering with us to make the festival possible. It also links to the San Francisco-Osaka City Association. Since Osaka speaks their own dialect of Japanese, there’s also a handy phrasebook so you can impress your friends. If you speak Kansai-ben and can’t find a phrase, you can contribute updates to share with everyone else.
Ookini!!
The app runs on Android and iOS, and are the same code, so bugs should be filed together. Feature requests, enhancements and known bugs are on the issues page of this github. New issues should be added there.
Some improvement on the Phrasebook UI, especially the Add. Fixed a bug when retrieving data. On some occasions, it wasn't reading all the data, resulting in incomplete JSON data, which was ignored.
More feedback on the Phrasebook UI, and few options so it's easier to understand. Added the festival date. Increased starting zoom level on the Partners Map. Bug fix from 1.1 where we search by romaji and got dupes.
