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! 😀
#Reparieren statt wegwerfen! Dafür gibt es (ehrenamtliche) Reparatur-Cafés. Für München findet Ihr diese beispielsweise auf den Seiten des AWM (Abfall-Wirtschaftsbetrieb München). Für die Standort-Anzeige wird nicht etwa auf GMaps, sondern auf #OpenStreetMap gesetzt 🤩
V #Openstreetmap si už delší dobu piplám svou dědinku #Kobylnice. Teď jsem se vrhnul na barvy střech, takže v 3D vykreslovátkách map už to vypadá celkem pěkně. Práce je tam ale stále dost. streets.gl/#49.13445,16.73294,… #osm
Týmy Lékařů bez hranic často působí v oblastech, pro které neexistují dostatečně podrobné mapy. Zapojte se do projektu Missing Maps a vytvářejte mapy podle satelitních snímků, aniž byste opustili svůj pokoj.
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!
