OpenStreetMap data powers The Washington Post's story about the size and territory of supermarket chains in USA.
OSM is more than a map, we're a database. Everyone (incl you!) gets the same full access to the data, for free. And if it's incorrect, you can fix it immediately. We love to see new and surprising uses of OSM data like this.
What will you create with OpenStreetMap?

I'm looking forward to changing the OSM tagging on one of the most infamous stretches of "sidewalk=no" in this city.
This segment of Camino de Colmenar is only about 200m long, but requires pedestrians to walk through a narrow ravine on a busy road or in a drainage channel.
After nearly 20 years of campaigning by local residents, today's newspapers report that work has started to construct a sidewalk on one side.
El Camino del Colmenar deja atrás mucha inseguridad vial

1-x Do you marvel at how #OpenStreetMap or #GoogleMaps can show you the street pattern, all the way to individual houses, of any random village?
Before the age of internet mapping this required a paper map. As most people did not have easy access to detailed maps (house level maps often not available at all) we had a very different view of the world outside our direct area.
This is why I find the history of how the Soviet Union mapped the world so interesting.

I have used mapy.cz for walk/hike online planning but they started forcing ads and blocking adblockers, so it's time to move on.
Do you know any good OSM based walking path planner with stable, responsive and easy to use UI? I know several ones with clunky UI but mapy.cz was pretty smooth to use, maybe there are hidden gems around.
osmc coloring is extremely preferred...
Thanks!

Openstreetmap Austria will be taking part in the Graz Linux Days again this year. Come to our information stand, we look forward to talking to you.
As always, there will be a #josm workshop on Friday.
A wystarczy nie używać map google...
Na #openstreetmap taki numer nie przejdzie bo można sobie ustawić powiadomienie np przez rss o zmianach jakiegoś obszaru albo elementu i szybko ew. szkodnikom blokować konta.
Ich bin auf der Suche nach Leuten, die OpenStreetMap Hackathons oder -weekends in Deutschland organisieren, um Unterstützung anzubieten.
Weiß da jemand was oder kennt wen?
Über 🔁 oder Hinweise freue ich mich!

Ouch. A large OpenStreetMap group has been using a proprietary chat platform as a community space for ~10 yrs. Now they gotta pay a $80k/yr (or $10k??) for usage. 🤯😱😢
Slack (now Salesforce) now wants to charge @OpenStreetMapUS for all ~6k users on their server. 😢😢 Ouch.
This sort of bait & switch is why open, community owned platforms (like this!) are vital!

OpenStreetMap supports mapping surveillance cameras.
Cameras can be identified by location and type.
The area being observed can be disclosed.
Surveillance under Surveillance/https://sunders.uber.space is an OpenStreetMap instance focused on surveillance cameras, the data used is not visualized on the OpenStreetMap.org instance.

wtf? Someone got banned from the #OpenStreetMap mailing lists for a week for saying “wtf”. The mods call it “an obscenity”.

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!

#Ukraine #Russia #RussianInvasion
How about limit new accounts?
In case people haven’t noticed, there’s another wave of vandalism ongoing. I’m in the process of blocking the accounts that I can identify (currently ~4500, but may increase), and a number of other people have reverted obviously problematic changese…OpenStreetMap Community Forum
The #OpenStreetMap Foundation spends, even with a slightly more ambitious budget this year than previously, less than %1 of what WMF/Wikipedia does, but is struggling to make ends meet.
There is no threat a la the infamous Wikipedia ads that the project will shut down, but without the funds activities will have to be cut back significantly.

Friendica - post z lokalizacją
Czy wiesz, że... tworząc post z konta Friendica możesz prosto dodać lokalizację ?
W oknie tworzenia nowego postu, w polu lokalizacji możesz wpisać adres, nazwę obiektu, współrzędne, swoją lokalizację - cokolwiek co potrafi znaleźć na mapie #OpenStreetMap wyszukiwarka #nominatim . W opublikowanym poście wybrana lokalizacja będzie widoczna pod nazwą konta, które publikuje a link wskaże właśnie na serwis nominatim. Dlatego warto sprawdzić przed publikacją, na podglądzie, czy faktycznie link do wskazanego obiektu/adresu będzie znaleziony na mapie.

2. Java based applications (brrr Java, brrr tomcat)
3. Old school compile yourself manual (make files are sometimes seen as unnecessary modernisms) (here’s a 1000 lines wiki page with a million options)

Beide Hashtags habe ich auch so abonniert.
Nun ist mir aufgefallen, dass bei den beiden abonnierten Hashtags plötzlich mehr Beiträge auftauchen. Eben seit ich das per RSS abonniert habe. Vergleiche ich das RSS und das Hashtag Abo, dann steht dort auch dieselbe Empfangs-Zeit.
Tauchen RSS Feeds somit auch automatisch auf Friendica/anonsys auf, wenn diese vorher noch nicht über einen Relay empfangen wurden?

This place so far wins by being mapped three times.
But: currently (well as per the last hour) we are at 1'992'018 contributors to OSM (contributor as in actually made an edit).
New mapper influx has been at 12-13'000 the last couple of months so mid July is a good bet for 2'000'000. We went over 1'000'000 back in December 2017 so it will have taken 5 1/2 years for this step up. #OpenStreetMap
My version shows a very profiles (horse riding!), and apparently a way to import a profile. Is there anything for hiking?

Just discovered the existence of StreetComplete, an mobile app that transforms #OpenStreetMap knowledge gaps into quests you can undertake yourself around where you are.
Unfortunately for me it's only on Android through the Google Play Store or the F-Droid repository.

Interesse in cartografie en OpenStreetMap? We houden een gezellige avond waar je kan binnenspringen om al je vragen te stellen over OpenStreetMap.
OpenStreetMap is online wereldkaart waar iedereen aan mag bijtekenen en die iedereen mag hergebruiken. Duizenden applicaties gebruiken deze data dan ook, want ondertussen is het een ongeloofelijk gedetailleerde kaart. Iedereen heeft al eens iets gebruikt waarin OpenStreetMap-data zit, al weet je het niet.
Op deze avond komen we samen om over OpenStreetMap te babbelen, tips uit te wisselen over hoe je de kaart zelf kan aanpassen, hoe je openstreetmap-gebaseerde applicaties gebruikt, ... Iedereen is welkom - van hardcore-mapper tot mensen met een lichte computer-fobie.
Deze avond worden we verwelkomd door Linux Living, die binnen Ecoliving past. Ecoliving is een eco-sociaal project die inzet op hergebruik en bewust leven - de benedenverdieping is dan ook een echte tweedehandswinkel en volgestouwd met spullen die een tweede leven zoeken. Daarnaast gaat de Ecoliving ook voedseloverschotten ophalen om deze te herverdelen. Kortom, er is altijd wel een (vervallen) knabbeltje of drankje. Op de eerste verdieping is er plaats voor de Linux Living, een gezellige ruimte waar elke twee weken wordt samengekomen om met Open Source te experimenteren en om oude computers een nieuw leven te geven met Linux. Deze donderdag stellen ze hun deuren open voor de OpenStreetMap-community.

Interested in cartography and OpenStreetMap? The Linux User Group Linux Living welcomes the OpenStreetMap-community this thursday. We will gather for an informal talk about everything concerning OSM, such as how to edit it yourself, how to use some applications, ...
Everyone is welcome, from total beginner to expert.
LinuxLiving is a biweekly gathering of OpenSource enthusiasts in Bruges. They operate within EcoLiving, a social and ecological project which strives to reuse as much as possible.
Note that LinuxLiving is normally a Dutch speaking place. However, most do speak English too, we'll switch to English if needed.
