Here’s a summary of things I did in OSM in January 2020.

• Mapping
  • Continued to edit. I added lots (2,000?) buildings in Ireland as part of our new mapping project. I made at least one OSM edit every day in January,
  • Monitored and reviewed some RapiD changes.
  • Found & posted many examples of bad Facebook computer results.
• Coding
  • Wrote a tool to convert OSM history data into CSV files. This makes it easier to process, and work with, OSM data.
  • Wrote a tasking manager stat tool.
  • Attempted to get iD to switch to default opt out.
  • Figured out how to make images of globes from OSM tiles.
• Community
  • Co-founded RainbOSM, a Telegram group chat for LGBTQ+ people in OSM. Telegram is a closed source chat service, which is unfortunate, but there are a lot of people who use it.
  • Submitted 2 links to WeeklyOSM.
  • Participated in many twitter conversations about OSM #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 #6 #7 (Another closed source communication platform).
  • Participated in some conversation on LCCWG IRC channel.
• OSM Foundation Board
  • Jan 2020 Board meeting
  • OSMF board has decided to have a face to face meeting in London, so I had to book travel for that
  • Evaluated 7 fee waiver applications for the OSMF
  • Read the background material for contract agenda item
  • Read the background material for local chapter application for SK, AL, DRC, Oceania, AR
  • Phone call with community members (A. Mustard & OSM Irl group chat)
• CWG
  • Filed an expenses claim form for the stickers I’ve been sending out.
  • Sent out 600 stickers to the OSM community in the Phillipines.
  • Wrote wiki page about promotional material programme.
  • Looked into making more attribution fixer stickers.
