Salut la communauté d’OpenSreetMap !

Je suis désormais un fier nouveau participant à cet énorme projet de partage de savoir qui m’a d’abord aidé et même ravi en tant qu’utilisateur. Ravi de recevoir gratuitement et sans contrepartie ces données cartographiques minutieusement accumulées, et rigoureusement organisées, jusqu’à devenir une référence fiable. Un exemple illustratif de ce qu’on appelle dans le monde du Libre, le DataLove.

Fier, donc, mais non moins attentif à la rigueur du projet : je ne voudrais pas détruire dans mes modifications, des données fiables, ou ajouter des données erronées. J’ai par exemple entrepris de nommer des chemins par leur nom locaux, avant de m’apercevoir que le type d’information “Nom local” existait en plus du “Nom” tout court. J’ai donc entrepris une recherche sur le forum pour vérifier la bonne pratique dans ce cas de figure, et j’ai rectifié mon erreur. C’est peut-être du chipotage à vos yeux, d’autant que “Nom local” n’existe seulement que si l’on a déjà ajouté “Nom”, mais, comme dit l’expression : les petits ruisseaux font les grandes rivières. C’est de cette rigueur des bonnes pratiques qu’un tel projet tire sa fiabilité.

Cependant, c’est des erreurs que vient ma participation à ce projet : en bon français, c’est en râlant sur des erreurs que j’ai fini par publier ma première note. Puis, constatant qu’on m’avait mal compris, j’ai pris la peine de me former via des tutos sur YouTube, pour effectuer les modifications moi-même. Et c’est en découvrant la facilité avec laquelle on peut contribuer que j’ai pris un certain goût à la contribution.

Donc dans un sens, ces erreurs sont un mal pour un bien. Alors merci ! Merci aux contributeurs, merci pour votre générosité que je compte bien imiter. Au plaisir, cher lecteur de vous re-croiser.

On December 5th, 2017, I joined Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team with the goal of making a tangible impact. Over the years, my curiosity on the HOT Tasking Manager grew, and I found myself increasingly drawn to OpenStreetMap (OSM). At first, I was overwhelmed with how to become more active and create more impact, but I soon discovered that my love for and working on the computer was my gateway. Contributing to OSM quickly became an addiction, a way to relax, a therapeutic outlet when I was feeling tired or frustrated.

osm.org/relation/15736220 What to do against these deletion? I know, you’d said “oh, just revert the changes”. Teoretically you’d be right …. teoretically

Dealing with these long relation it’s not easy, unless you keep monitored and act in the first hours or in a few days

I’ll try to fix it

Я очень горд собой, я перепилил Московский манеж. :”) Как никак это один из наших архитектурных шедевров.

Поделка осмера

Доводить его до 6 тысяч элементов наверно смысла нет, хотя возможность такая есть)

У меня в рендере выглядит нормально, а F4 что-то подколбашивает.

On November 13, 2023, Miami-Dade County’s transit agency, Miami-Dade Transit, implemented significant changes to its bus network - designated the “Better Bus Network.” These updates aimed to enhance coverage for neighborhoods and business districts that primarily serve lower-income residents. As a result, many routes and stops were altered, relocated, or removed.

To the best of my knowledge, much of Miami’s transit data on OSM was originally contributed by user drynwk around 2021. Most of their contributions have remained untouched for nearly three years, despite the major changes from the Better Bus Network almost a year ago.

Miami-Dade Transit has provided updated transit information to platforms like Google Maps, Apple Maps, and likely other GIS services. I believe it’s essential that OSM volunteers also have access to this data. To that end, I’ll be making an effort to obtain the relevant information from Miami-Dade Transit and share it with the OSM community here in Miami.

In addition, I plan to update the bus route relations on OSM to reflect the new route names, ideally matching the official names used by Miami-Dade Transit across their buses, maps, and app. I’ll also be reaching out to request the correct route names for accuracy.

Edit: On November 25, 2024, there will be another revamp to the Better Bus Network. These service adjustments will affect most routes, and as such, will postpone my project.

Hallo Open StreetMap ist wirklich ein sehr cooles Projekt, Respekt und Dank an alle Menschen die das durch ihre hervorragenden Leistungen möglich machen. ich habe jetzt länger gesucht ob man die Weltkarte nicht auf Englisch umstellen kann , ich bin leider bei längerer Suche nicht darauf gestossen , wo ist denn der Umschaltknopf auf englische Sprache , ich kann leider nicht Russisch Arabisch oder Chinesisch usw lesen… des weiteren benutze ich viele Linux Software mit OSM Karten leider nicht mehr auf Englisch das ganze …kann mir jemand weiterhelfen?

Hi all!

I’m Freya and been a contributor since April 2024. I’ve since then noticed there is a lack of diversity that covers different groups of people to make them feel welcome or drive questions as a team rather than as spread out individuals here and there

We will not be doing work that Local Chapters and Communities Working Group is already doing, instead we will be working towards highlighting ways to be inclusive, organizing projects to increase accessibility in specific areas, or just hosting a friendly place for people to chat in!

To start with I’ve setup a wiki page containing what exactly the goal is and how we will work, and my plan is to develop this initiative as time goes on and more people get interested

We also use the Contributor Covenant v2.1 as our Code of Conduct

No projects setup yet but in the plans to organize an event soon! :pray:

Here’s a few resources I’ve setup for now
