@joachim OSMAnd's rendering for Public Transport works nicely, but I think that's because it's vectors and you can interact with it. Static tiles online https://www.öpnvkarte.de/#4.357;50.8451;15 might be more what you expect? It used to be a layer on osm.org iirc.

@joachim I looked at the wiki afterwards. I'm assuming it's not getting updated often enough: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Featured_tile_layers

@pcambra @jeni While wondering if there was a mobile version of zim https://zim-wiki.org/ I found out that https://f-droid.org/packages/net.gsantner.markor/ reads zim format wiki format.

I start thinking: well the Local Authority's Open API move is all Open Referral and its Services. Then I stop.

Nope.

An iCal feed for that should do just fine. One per area. Bonus marks for searchable by address/postcode.

LocalGov Drupal will be able to do this out-of-the-box, including the location search, once Events can also be put in Directories - I'd say. That's being worked on now @joachim

@gdemet @pcambra Given what I understand this instance is for I think expecting people to already have a d.o account is a pretty minimal bar.

@blogdiva The challenge for my sites is and remains https://www.drupal.org/project/activitypub/issues/3272173 which was just too much work to do as a side issue. It's still active as https://www.drupal.org/project/activitypub/issues/3318782

I don't know about sites others have but it's usually the 'site' itself or a 'group' or some other 'entity' that is represented on the site and controlled by users, rather than user accounts that want to appear in the fediverse for the site.

@liaizon @blogdiva @swentel

Good question.

I just stopped when my sprint time ran out. It's still on the long-wish-list of things for a specific project. @andybroomfield bought it up for another (LocalGov Drupal) again not users but site sections run by users 'newsroom' or 'planning', 'traffic' etc. there.

After I stopped @kinta had worked on the issue too (second link) maybe they have a better idea how to move it again?

@pcambra Website updates at a guess. I got it by email. I've found it in the archive:

Without digging the details of the DA, if it is 'representative', if it should be representative, who it should be representative of.

Purely on the point of should you be quiet, or even support, a decision by a body you disagree with. No. Minorities, even majorities, that disagree vocally about decisions made by those with more power, are what keep us from tyranny.

@jurgenhaas @penyaskito @rachel_norfolk @pcambra

What are 'constant complaints' to you, are 'being vocal about decisions made by those with more power' to others. Those 'constant complaints' form the environment in which decisions have to be made. If 'constant complaints' are 'useless' then the decision making process is immune to the opinions of others. I think in this case that's not actually the case. If it wasn't for vocal groups other decisions would likely be made.

To which my (...)

@jurgenhaas @penyaskito @rachel_norfolk @pcambra second point. While I do find this one event too expensive and at some point maybe I'll stop coming. It's not one of my focuses. There's only so much time. Hence I didn't actually reply about that specifically. I will support those who do spend time on it. To suggest they need to come up with 'alternative solutions' is too simple. Without changing other things they would have to fix specifically the cost without affecting anything else to be (...)

@jurgenhaas @penyaskito @rachel_norfolk @pcambra acceptable. It also suggests that input has not been done, rather than has been decided against for whatever reasons. It suggests that it's a perfect process that would be able to accommodate the 'alternative solutions'. It's a whole set of decisions that determine the cost, and character, of events like this. Whose priorities are they that in the end make the decision?

ekes, 10 months ago

@jurgenhaas @penyaskito @rachel_norfolk @pcambra Was that a question to me? I made it quite clear this was not one of my priorities. There's only so much time in this world.

I understand finding it important that the one focal event be inclusive. So understand being vocal about it. Understand spend time on it. Suggesting do some different event seems dismissive. Anyway I support folks who want to keep pushing the inclusivity door, which ever way, for the reasons described in thread above.
