I am working a talk for DORS/CLUC in Zagreb about #OSM.
My topic is how and why to start contributing to #OpenStreetMap as a total beginner. I'll be showcasing tools such as @streetcomplete , @everydoor, @MapComplete.
I'll be also talking about #gamification, #community, helping projects like #hotOSM and #OpenHistoryMap.
Do you have any tricks or ideas you would like me to include into the talk. How would you encourage a total stranger to start contributing?

In the glory days of web 1.0, social websites would prominently link out to their digital neighbors via lists known as webrings; magical doorways to an expansive hinterland of digital villages.
Let's envision what a truly federated chat like #Matrix could do to improve the cross-connectivity of chat channels. Most of these features are already possible, they just haven't been implemented yet in a community-oriented client experience.

Here's my periodic reminder: alternative text for images is important! It makes your images accessible to people who are blind and provides context for the neurodivergent (like me!).
HOWEVER! Writing appropriate alternative text can be very hard, especially if you don't have a lot of practice.
If you see an image missing alt text, don't be a jerk about it.
If you post an image and can't add alt text, don't be a jerk about it.
#Accessibility and #community go hand in hand. If we're all willing to be a little vulnerable with each other, we can help each other build a space that is accessible for everyone.
Edited to fix a spelling error 😁
3333 Vorbestellungen - Ihr habt es geschafft!😍
Das SHIFTphone 8 erhält damit 12 GB Arbeitsspeicher, statt der angekündigten 8 GB. Für uns bedeutet dies allerdings auch, dass wir den finalen Preis des SHIFTphone 8 (ursprünglich 555 EUR) um 22 EUR – also auf 577 EUR zzgl. Gerätepfand – anheben müssen. Alle bis gestern eingetroffenen Vorbestellungen profitieren natürlich ohne Preiserhöhung von den 12 GB RAM.

Before we get too far into 2024, we wanted to think about everything that went well - and the things that didn't go so great - for Thunderbird in 2023. Don't get us wrong, while we think some amazing things happened last year, we also want to admit what we could have done differently. 🙂 😐 😕
As always, we'd love to know your thoughts on where - and how - we can improve! 💙

The FCC pushed back the application window to Dec 6-13 to allow community groups more time to prepare applications for new, low-power, community radio stations.
When they first announced the opportunity -- a window that has not been open in a decade y'all -- the news was clearly huge, so now they are giving people six more weeks to prepare their applications.
As you know, KUZU shows one way LPFM can be a foundation to build valuable community information resources.
Please boost and share.

I tooted Hello World on November 30, 2022.
Then I began tooting my #music and a ton of #puns #jokes, and #memes. And you all responded so genuinely, and with such positivity, that I very quickly was made to feel at home.
My deepest gratitude goes out to the #Mastodon community, a #community that has literally improved the quality of my time on this spinning rock as it hurtles through space, towards a future that seems more uncertain every day. It’s unlike any other “social media platform” here.
Today, I celebrate the arbitrary milestone of five thousand followers, and I just wanted to say thank you.
Thank you for the favourites, the boosts, the follows, and the comments.
Thank you for your conversations, discussions, and corrections.
Thank you for listening to my music and sharing your thoughts on it with me, and for following along on your chosen streaming service. This has been amazing.
But, above all, I’d like to thank you all for making Mastodon the friendly and welcoming place that it is. My experience here is one of wonderful acceptance, and it has been truly humbling. There is nowhere else quite like it.
Massive big huge love to you all,
- Jon (Dgar)
