Thank you very much for your talk! A really nice introduction into #osm #openstreetmap. Would love to have a chat.


Hm. While the objects mapped in #openstreetmap are certainly hardware I would not consider doing osm stuff as "Hardware Hacking".


The first poster for my introduction to #OpenStreetMap at #37c3 has been put up. Come find us at 19:00 today at the Hardware Hacking Area (Hall 3, this is close to Chaos Post)


Ooh! I will pass by! I'll also do an 'Introduction to #OpenStreetMap' tomorrow, in the Hardware Hacking Area.

Also, I forgot to bring my heap of stickers, but I see that you have plenty to hand out. I might temporarily move a stash to my intro session.


Unser #OpenStreetMap Stand auf dem #37c3 ist fertig. Drucker ist angeschlossen, Display von unserem Nachbarstand #wikipedia ist auch bereit, Flyer liegen aus... wir freuen uns auf Tag 1


How to get your #OpenStreetMap Account show up verified in your Mastadon profile:
(1) Open openstreetmap.org/profile/edit
(2) Add <a href="en.osm.town/@YOUR_NAME" rel="me">Mastadon</a>
(3) Open en.osm.town/settings/profile
(4) Remove Link and(!) Label of your existing OSM Profile link (if present), then save
(5) Re-add Label and Link
(6) Visit your Mastdon profile, the OSM link is now green.


This Christmas, I've finally bitten the bullet and done some serious contributing to @openstreetmap (and also joined the OSM Foundation while I was at it). Honestly, I think it's one of the great wonders of the #OpenSource internet, so I wrote a blog post about why I'm contributing (and you should too)

#Google has a revenue of $162bln and 1.8bln regular users. If we divide these numbers, the value of the services people use giving away their #privacy is $7.5/mo.

But you can have all these services for free (or very small monthly fees) in a privacy-respecting environment: #encrypted email from @protonmail or @Tutanota, online office suite from @cryptpad or @ViOffice, cloud storage Proton or ViOffice, #openstreetmap for maps, #duckduckgo, or @StartpageSearch for search. As simple as that! 😀

This reminds me of a story from our local community in the @philippines, how a blind contributor got in touch to inquire about how to use #OpenStreetMap data for their GPS device.

Maning, (one of our OSM pioneers) promptly responded by creating a database they can use, and a few months later, they got another email, sharing additional data to add to OSM.

I wrote a technical guide showing how you can create your own orthorectified (aka satellite view/bird mode) imagery, point clouds and 3D models of streets with nothing but a 360 degree camera mounted on bicycle helmet, and the open source photogrammetry software OpenDroneMap.

Why might you want to do this? With your own up-to-date, highly detailed point clouds and imagery you could:
- quantify and communicate inefficient road space allocation
- record necessary infrastructure repairs
- take measurements such as lane and cycleway widths
- measure footpath obstructions in 3D and rate pedestrian amenity
- map kerb features on OpenStreetMap
- survey street parking using the new OSM spec: wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/St…
- 3D print a model of your home street!

"Depuis fin 2019, le style cartographique #OpenArdenneMap est mis à jour suivant un cycle semestriel de livraison! OpenArdenneMap est un style cartographique open-source pour des cartes topographiques sur base des données #OpenStreetMap. La livraison “summer-2022” vient de sortir. [...] des cartes 1:20,000 au format A3 sont toujours disponibles en téléchargement sur hiking.osm.be. Certaines de ces cartes sont retouchées à la main, pour une qualité cartographique accrue."

You probably heard of #OsmAnd, the swiss knife map app that uses #OpenStreetMap data, but do you know that there's a web-based interface, too?

Check out osmand.net/map, and plan your trips with routing, and various map rendering options, while doing so in the comfort of your desktop browser.

It even includes weather forecasts, if you're trying to avoid getting wet for your weekend ride.

You don't even need to register for an #OsmAnd, or #OpenStreetMap account to use it.
