When editing #OpenStreetMap on the go, @everydoor is my hands-down favorite, but I'd hesitate recommending it for more new mappers.

I've been playing with #OsmGo just now, and really like how easy it is, maybe even for new contributors.

Plus, it's a progressive web app that runs in a browser, or installable in your device: https://osmgo.com , so this also seems to be a great candidate tool to introduce as a friendly editor for @openstreetmap mapping parties for new users.

People are slowing learning that #OpenStreetMap contributors is very skewed. There's a long tail, but so so so much of the data is being added by the craft mappers.

Ok folks. Show off the mappy #Christmas presents you got. 😂😂

Anyone else get Mapominoes?

I've added a new feature to WaterwayMap.org: Loop/cycle detection!

It shows all places where waterways (e.g. rivers) form a loop, and go around in a circle. Most of these are simple tagging mistakes. Please get mapping!

I made a map that's 100% just #OpenStreetMap data.

(can you tell what it is yet? 😉)

We can map steps in #OpenStreetMap, and add details like “How many steps are there?”, or “Is there is a hand rail? Tactile paving?”

But maybe we can add more details! 😁

I'm trying to add more #etymology to #OpenStreetMap, normally that's done by adding a link to wikidata, but there's many missing wikidata/wikipedia items... 😭

TIL, you can use the - & + keys on OpenStreetMap.org to zoom the map in & out. (shift - & shift + to zoom in/out quicker) 😍 ⌨

(technically the = key on my keyboard works as + here, so use = to zoom in)

Sometimes it's hard to know if a community or project is sexist or horrible or what. People have said that about #OpenStreetMap.

All I know is, I came out as a #trans woman, stood for reelection to the #OSMF Board, and quadrupled my votes.

Be careful with simple narratives. 🙂

Don't forget to vote in the #OpenStreetMap Foundation Board elections! 🙂

I wonder if there should should also be a #30DayOSMChallenge next year in November? Basically try to map something new or improve an existing object based on a daily theme in #OpenStreetMap.

So for example, Day 8 could be “Roads”, and you could map a new road or add a surface=* tag or name:etymology=* tag to an existing road.

It would be something fun to do and could help folks achieve the 42 days needed to qualify for free membership to the OSM Foundation (if they want to join).

“There is a place called X in Y, there is a place called Y in Z, …”
I analyzed #OpenStreetMap data to look for long chains of places named after administrative boundaries and vice versa. There's a very long chain!

The German #OpenStreetMap Local Chapter (@FOSSGISeV) had a stand at #sotmeu (shared with the #OSMF). Here's what they got up to, and photos of their stand, stickers (:lgbtqosm:!), #CraftMapper t-shirts, and large printer, so people can actually get map!

WaterwayMap.org has gotten a new view on #OSM water data: It can look at (most) river banks and lakes as well as linear waterways when trying to build water river basins.
