@selokichtli @julianwgs in the early days, people used to joke that to get good data in #OpenStreetMap you either had to import data, or import Germans. ๐คฃ๐คฃ

@Synnr The amount of people who have contributed to OpenStreetMap, to the map data, is massive. More than >2,000,000 people, and about 50,000 people edit the map every month.

@ArbiterXero @InsertUser Facebook giving OSM the legal right to mass copy the PoI (point of interest) data would be a fucking game changer.
When I was on the OSMF Board, I asked our FB rep, and of course they said no.
