I moved all pictures created with MapComplete and hosted on Imgur to our Panoramax instance. You can read a bit more about the process and some discoveries here

This is a browser feature called 'service workers' which indeed allows websites to keep a process running for e.g. notifications.and pending updates.

Can be highly annoying. Visit ‘about:serviceworkers‘ to see the installed ones.

Because the northern hemisphere is mostly land mass and the southern hemisphere is mostly ocean. Land heats faster and cools faster than ocean, thus the seasonal effects are more pronounced in the data.

Same with CO2 patterns which gives a similar yearly 'breathing effect'

Your title is a big lie. "One simple step"?

  1. Install left gate
  2. Install right gate
  3. Add traffic signs
  4. Add pedestrian icon to street

See, this is at least 4 steps! I call bullshit!

In all seriousness, this is indeed great. Next step is to remove some of the now unneeded asphalt and replace it with greenery

You forgot "Use AI"

What is important to you ;)

There are many interesting datasets in OpenStreetMap which I try to make visible and editable with MapComplete.

Of course, general information (should as shop info) is what matters the most to most people, but it really depends on the usecase.

Hi!

I'm the main dev of https://mapcomplete.osm.be (and also one of the modsof this subcommunity). I have a long train journey ahead of me today (and next week again).The ideal moment to answer questions from other OSM-contributors.

So, shoot!

Join our community: !openstreetmap@lemmy.ml

Also, you answered the question backwards, but I don't mind XD

Shoutout: we have a community here to on lemmy: !openstreetmap@lemmy.ml

Hi! This is the place to show or tell about some cool stuff you did with OpenStreetMap!

[-] pietervdvn@lemmy.ml 31 points 1 year ago

Well, I'm doing my best to get the !openstreetmap@lemmy.ml community started. Once there is enough activity here, the critical mass becomes self-reinforcing and it takes off.

And it's not as if all of Reddit will switch over right away - Twitter is still somewhat alive too; but Mastodon gained enough momentum now to actually matter and to be at a sustainable level.

HI all,

Sorry for spamming, but seeing that the other OSM-post got quite some traction, I wanted to point out that the OSM-community here is coming to life as well.

You can post your beginner questions into the newbie friday thread or brag about your mapping projects into the showoff sunday thread

At last, please post OSM-related content over there! We need to get this party started...

[-] pietervdvn@lemmy.ml 16 points 1 year ago

Ooohh!! Please, post a bit in the lemmy community as well.

Did you recently (or not recently) map a cool area that you want to show? Something you are proud of? Post it here! A little explanation of why it is cool might help as well.

Hi!

OpenStreetMap is a map that anyone can edit and anyone can freely reuse. It has a huge ecosystem, and can thus be a bit confusing to edit or to work with.

I thought that having a weekly thread to ask all beginner questions would be nice for everyone interested, so - go for it!

If you know the answer to a question, please answer (so that I don't have to answer everything).

Hi all!

Welcome to the OSM-community on Lemmy. With this post, we'd like to introduce us, tell us what you expect from this place and what it should/might become.

BTW: we are still open to add more moderators! Make an introduction post here, mentioning why you want to moderate and showing some of your mapping work. (If you don't want to share your OSM-username, you can also PM that to one of the mods)

So, I'm @pietervdvn (https://osm.org/user/Pieter%20Vander%20Vennet ; he/him), I'm the main dev of https://mapcomplete.osm.be . I'm involved with OSM most of the time and quite happy that there is momentum to move away from Reddit to an open-source, federated platform. ;) Personally, I already have a lot on my plate so I do not have enough team to moderate this place, so I'd like to get a team here quickly and start this place so that I can retire here.

https://lemmy.ml/u/Ben_on_Lemmy was the original founder of this community - but lost interest as nobody joined a few years back. But the tides have turned! One thorough search for the password of his account later and he's back!

At last, https://lemmy.ml/u/SyJ just joined the moderation team as well - even though I don't know a whole lot about them.

So:

  • Do you have any questions for us?
  • What do you expect from the moderation team?
  • What do you expect from !openstreetmap?
  • What should this place look like in about one year time?
