OpenStreetMap
A section of the Cotswold Way National Trail on Leckhampton Hill was recently improved to make it suitable for off-road Tramper wheelchairs and mobility scooters.
The path has been widened and resurfaced:
Steps where the path meets Hartley Lane have been replaced with a ramp:
Use as few nodes as possible, but as many as necessary. This makes it much easier for later mappers to improve or update things.
Makes rendered maps look much nicer :)
Today was an eventful one, Members of our group (LMT, Nsukka) came together to get it right as we opened the 14788 project on HOTosm titled ENUGU STATE -MAP NIGERIA MAPATHON CAMPAIGN -LET’S MAP NSUKKA LGA FOR SDGS AND SOCIAL GOOD and we commenced to map with iD Editor meanwhile with my little knowledge I also help to direct and answer some of my teammates questions like “how do I put #tags?, why is my task showing error instead of submitting?, How many edits will get me to become an advance mapper?” etc.
I benefited mostly when our trainer Miss Juliet from Lion Mappers Team Enugu Campus expanded my knowledge on mapping with JOSM and even much more when she introduced RapiD which I believe is easier and faster compared to ID Editor.
I am confident that my mapping skills have improved today more than what it was yesterday. I and my Team members have gained greatly today and we are really excited about it.
A big thanks to Unique Mappers Network and their contribution to open-source data sets.
Greetings everyone! Would love to invite you to a series of mapping nights in the following weeks!
I will be hosting the MapRoulette Nights every Sunday 9PM Philippine Time (UTC +8) via Google Meet.
No prizes, no shizz, just plain mapping with people with the same interest. Let’s spin the Mapping Wheel and see where it lands.
To join us, please sign up here. We will send the calendar invite with the GMeet Room link.
I added functionality to tilelog to generate per-country usage information for the OSMF Standard Map Layer. The output of this is a CSV file, generated every day, which contains country code, number of unique IPs that day, tiles per second, and tiles per second that were a cache miss, all for each country code.
With a bit of work, I manipulated the files to give me the usage from the 10 countries with the most usage, for the first four months of 2023.
Perhaps more interesting is looking at the usage for each country by the day of week.

Becky Candy 님께서 올리신 Common Feedback I give while Validating Building Projects on HOT’s Tasking Manager를 번역한 내용입니다.
HOT 태스킹 매니저(Tasking Manager)에서 작업물을 검토하는 동안 편집자(매퍼)에게 피드백을 제공하는 것은 매우 중요합니다. 피드백을 통해 작업의 질을 개선하고 편집 작업을 계속하도록 장려할 수 있기 때문입니다. 초보자는 매우 많은 오류를 범하기 때문에 가능한 한 오류를 빨리 발견해 건설적인 피드백을 제공하면 오류의 양을 줄이고 올바른 방향으로의 편집을 유도할 수 있습니다. 이는 전반적인 데이터 품질 향상으로 이어질 수 있습니다.
건물 추가와 관련된 프로젝트를 검토하면서 기여자들에게 매우 자주 보내는 몇 가지 피드백을 간략하게 설명하고 개입의 중요성을 설명했습니다. HOT 태스킹 매니저에서 검토 작업을 할 때 이러한 의견을 자유롭게 활용하시기 바랍니다.

This Peer to Peer Learning Exchange Workshop Series is aimed at providing a space for knowledge exchange to benefit the newly emerging OSM communities in Dominica and Saint Lucia. OSM community representatives from across the globe joined this 1-hour virtual session. It was extremely interesting to note that there were attendees from several different countries among the 36 persons who were in this April 25th peer to peer learning session. This was the first of six online sessions. The sessions are spearheaded by the Humanitarian OpenStreetmap Team (HOT) Community Working Group.
The Peer to Peer learning session kicked off with a discussion on “What is an OSM Community?” While some persons defined it in a broader sense, a group of like-minded people, who come together to map and some went into further detail. This included explaining the importance of charging a small membership fee in order to keep the group accessible for persons from all income brackets. One representative also mentioned the importance of having multiple members on the board of directors for continuity and accountability.
The general consensus was that the mission was to be a representative organization for mappers and mapping in their country/region. Further, it is important that clear goals and objectives are developed for example, increasing the number of mappers in the community, improving the quality of data and promoting the use of OSM data for community development
The dominant theme was that of inclusivity: ensuring that the OSM community was a welcoming and accessible space for all. In documenting the values the common approach is to have an informal policy at first, but written documents can be prepared and shared on the OSM Wiki.

Because there is no worldwide quality source for addresses!
Really, that’s no joke. There are many commercial providers for “industrialized countries” of variable quality/pricing but worldwide coverage is lacking, the data formats are diverse and the license terms provider specific.
There are also some open source projects related to addresses though, each with their gochas. Two of these projects are mentioned in the last section “Honorable Mentions” at the end of this article, along with their drawbacks.
This project is born in order to provide quality addresses with worldwide coverage under an open license, by directly extracting addresses from the raw data dumps of OpenStreetMap.
How does the it look like? Here is a screenshot, but if you prefer, check out the website directly.
It is divided into two parts: extracts and addresses. Another “points of interest” was planned, but not further developed due to lack of time.
En resumen, lo que haré será mejorar los trazados de una larga autopista, reemplazándolos por otros trazos mejor dibujados en JOSM, a los que posteriormente asignaré toda las etiquetas correspondientes que debe tener toda vialidad mapeada en OSM.
El procedimiento ya lo he realizado antes, a modo de prueba, en otras vialidades importantes en mi país, entre las que puedo enlistar:
El tramo de hoy serán 90 kilómetros de autopista que van desde aquí hasta acá.

Letzte Woche war ich auf der Velocity in Leipzig. Alles darüber hier:
http://warumichradfahre.blog/2023/05/16/ich-war-dabei-velocity-2023-in-leipzig/
Bin in Leipzig auch einiges an Rad gefahren, vor allem mit Rädern von Nextbike und Swapfiets (siehe http://warumichradfahre.blog/2023/05/12/swapfiets/).
Dabei war OSM total hilfreich. Mit der Android App OSMAND+ fand ich Wassertürme in Leipzig, die ich mit keiner anderen “Standard-App” wie Komoot z.B. gefunden hätte. Total toll.
First, I am human not a AI.
Recently I got a block by SomeoneElse mostly because my changeset comments were not perfect. I understand their meaning, but the DWG could have talked about it, before blocking just for this.
Explanation for my changeset comments:
I am using hashtag comments, like #DEU, #industry, etc. already a long while. Using hashtags leads in a time, where I got introduced in usecases of hashtags at SOTM and I saw tools who evaluates them (like HDYC and other organised mapping (like HOTOSM using hashtags automatically. The people are using hashtags to filter posts in social network platforms like Twitter.
According to chatgpt you can quickly find an simple explanation what #DEU or #LBY means. It is about the code of ISO 3166-1 alpha 2 which is just a indicator for the countries where the changeset was edited.
The other hashtags were just known categories and local or professional abbrevations. Maybe there is a gap of categorizing or filter changesets for a better overview where and what a mapper is editing.
If you have questions, I am happy to answer them.
오픈스트리트맵 기여자들이 텔레그램에서 좀더 재밌게 소통하고 편한 공간이 되기를 바라면서, 텔레그램에서 쓸 수 있는 OSM 딱지[스티커]를 만들었습니다.
스티커 이미지는 고치거나 더 추가할 수 있으므로 알맞은 이미지나 아이디어가 있으신 분은 알려주시면 고려하도록 하겠습니다.
I wanted to make Telegram a more fun and comfortable place for OSM contributors to communicate, so I created OSM stickers for Telegram.
The sticker image can be fixed or added, so if you have a good image or idea, let me know and I’ll take it into consideration.
You can see all the previews of the stickers by going OpenStreetMap(OSM;오픈스트리트맵)
Please let me know if there is any issue with portrait rights in the above images.
