Super interesting read about the dynamics in OSM: «[if this trend continues] de facto power within the #OpenStreetMap Foundation will increasingly shift towards individuals or informal interest groups within the sketched de facto membership. Ultimately, it is likely that the board itself in a way becomes an outsider within the organization – being formally in control […], but de facto being dependent on the true insiders of the organization in everything they do.»

I had another training at my office for people interested in joining the magical free world of #OpenStreetMap. Every time I have different discussion from the attendees, even I do the same workshop. This time was not different.The main focus was now around the need to contribute to #OSM since it's not s…

I finished casting my ballot for the #OpenStreetMap Foundation Board election! (There are about 5 hours left before the deadline.) And because there are only 4 candidates for 3 open seats and 2 candidates are for reelection, ranking them was a lot simpler this year.

Wow, da hat jemand das Stollensystem im #Schlossberg #Graz auf #OpenStreetMap
eingetragen. 🤓

Spent some time today to use my GPS tracks and geo-located images to improve #OpenStreetMap around the trail to/from Choquequirao.
Next up will be doing the same for the trail to Machu Picchu - and then getting some images from along the way on Wikimedia Commons.

#YouthMappers is 1️⃣0️⃣ years old! 🎉
This movement has done quite a lot in supporting the aims of #OpenStreetMap and encouraging the next generation of open geospatial data mappers and advocates over the past decade.
Here’s to ten more years! 👍

No mountains for us today.
We were busy at home and had a walk in #badtoelz including the city park afterwards.
(did a lot of #Openstreetmap mapping there as well 😉 - get the #StreetComplete

After yesterday's day at the workshop focused on remote mapping, today it's time for folks to learn how to go out and do some field mapping with @… & ChatMap.

Congratulations @… for getting elected to the #OpenStreetMap Foundation Board! 🎉

Climbed up and down Wayna Picchu today, and even found a few survey points to add to #openstreetmap along the way!

When you visit a place where you haven't been before, install the #StreetComplete app and do some of the tasks..
It's like geo caching and helps to improve #openstreetmap - but beware, it can be addictive.- but also quite some fun

#DrogieFedi, orientuje się ktoś, gdzie można znaleźć (najlepiej interaktywną) mapę, na której wyraźnie zaznaczone są granice "terenów wojskowych"? Bo #OpenStreetMap jest pod tym względem wybrakowane, i chciałbym to jakoś uzupełnić, ale średnio mi widzi się okrążanie takich terenów dookoła, …

#DearFedi, does anyone happen to know a website or an app that I could use to easily highlight (as in using color) selected parts of the #railway network (ideally by choosing two stations to get everything in between highlighted), so I could mark which parts of the network I've already traversed, and then share it with you? (needs to include Polish railways)

Este fin de semana estamos en Lujšn por la encuentro de #OpenStreetMap Argentina. https://encuentro2025.openstreetmap.org.ar/

Today we came back to Cusco from a 5 day hike to Choquequirao. Thanks to @… it was amazing to be able to do some nice offline surveying along the way (around 3400 meters ascended and descended and 50 km walked) despite the fact that there's virtually no reception.
On Monday we'll start the Inca trail and I'll make sure to download all the data in advance too!

That's a first for me: A mountain biker keeps vandalising #OpenStreetMap to remove their illegal trails in a natural reserve, and then reaches out via DM to threaten physical violence when reverting their vandalism. The sense of entitlement of some people is just unbelievable…

After a workshop on mapping with #OpenStreetMap, we attended the #MarchaFederalUniversitaria in Río Cuarto.
A set of more images of openly licensed images in full-size is on Flickr: #darktable #documentaryphotography

Finally got around making a working before/after image of the area we worked with the participants during our combined remote & field mapping workshop in Río Cuarto!

Not to pat myself on the back, but I'm really happy with how the alt texts of the @… bot that are generated from #openstreetmap tags through an Overpass query.
It makes the alt text show where the image was taken, what's potentially in the frame but also context around it. I enjoy reading them every day!

Eso hubo un encuentro de #OpenStreetMap buenísimo! mí presentación sobre #panoramax con todos links estš acš: https://talks.tzovar.as/2025-09-27-lujan/

#openstreetmap folks: Is there a key/tag to denote that a restaurant only does QR code based menus? 🙈

I've made another small contribution to the great @… website! 😍
The "alternatives to Google Maps" page now provides more details on how different websites/apps/etc. that are based on #OpenStreetMap can be used to replace many of the Google Maps functions: navigation, creating custom maps, adding businesses/amenities/POI etc. 🗺️
