How many US citizens are standing for election to the OSMF Board?

How often do you map in OSM? I started off a big active, then a little lull. A few years ago I tried to edit at least once a day, and kept that for a while.

Fuck yeah! Remember those #OpenStreetMap mods who banned someone for saying “wtf” (because it's “code for an obscenity”)? 🙄 🙄 🙄

Looks like the #OSMF Board stepped in, and overruled the mods on that bonkers decision: “there is no explicit reference to profanity in the Etiquette Guidelines” 👍

Has anyone built (or considered building) a local-first, federated alternative to Mapillary / KartaView (or Google Street View)?

It would be interesting to be able to capture GBs/TBs of street level
images/LiDAR data and be able to view/edit in iD locally - and allow others to access (perhaps via a torrent) after publishing a metadata file somewhere with moderation (fediverse?)

iD editor’s ‘show local jpegs on map’ has got me thinking.

Some #OpenStreetMap people going to the Chaos Communication Congress (#CCC #37c3) have started organising for a proper #OSM presence!

Is it quicker to get somewhere via car or train & bike? Here's a map

(of course they use OSM as a data source)

I was on the #OpenStreetMap Foundation Board for a few years, and am happy to answer any questions. 😁

OK, I think I've finally fixed most of the problems, and there's a new data update for most of my river map!

Hmmm. Pretty sure this isn't right!

Made my first edit to #OpenStreetMap using the website to correct this.

Someone made a game where you have to name every street in San Francisco. Cute. 🙂

(Of course it uses #OpenStreetMap data. All geo innovations need #OSM)

mee: “Map Data Quality in #OpenStreetMap is very good in Central Europe. The Germans map well”
also me: “I'm sure I can select the River Rhine by just looking for OSM ways with the right wikidata tag. That solves all multi-lingual issues”
OSM: “hold my topology gaps”

Temporary (mid-term) closure for forest-fire not allowed?

Hey guys....

I am trying to store loads of OpenStreetMap node locations in memory. A simple HashMap<i64, (f64, f64)> works for small datasets, but fails for bigger files.

This is why I learned #Rust!

oh wow, someone wrote a guide on how to map North Korea in #OpenStreetMap

oh lol, the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team is considering getting rid of a fully elected board, and having “appointed” board members (appointed by who.... 🤔)
🙄🙄🙄
people don't like facing the electorate?

I have a ~ 8 GiB GeoJSON file. What's would you use to compress it? gzip is regular and fast, but not as space saving. Something installable via apt on debian

(and no cheeky answers like converting it out of geojson! 😛 I wanna know what The Cool Kids are using as compression tools now-a-days)

Now you can see where you can navigate your boat on my river basins map. Help spot missing tags and improve OSM!

Thanks to @russss for the suggestion.

“Last night, ~170 accounts made 3,200,00 map edits to @openstreetmap. More specifically: name changes. However, all accounts have already been suspended and many changes reverted. A big thank you to all the members of the Data Working Group and all other #OpenStreetMap volunteers!”

Yep, this is hitting me too, and the services I run.

There's currently a wave of bots trying to vandalize #OpenStreetMap by replacing names (and russian langauge names) with anti-russian slogans. The #OSM DWG has blocked 5,000+ accounts already

😢 This is not the way people!
