My June 2020 in OSM

• OSMF Board
  • Continued work on version 2 of the OSMF Local Chapters Agreement, posted to osmf-talk@ & engaged with the discussion & in person discussions
  • Drafted reply to complaints about the recent trademark grant to Cesium. Did an internal board poll.
  • New Attribution Guidelines are being worked on, so we had a call with some corporate members of the OSMF.
  • The OSMF & HOT wants to work better together
    • We had a board to board chat to catch up. Nothing to report, just a catch up
    • HOT’s name uses the OSMF’s trademark and they suggested a contract to cover that, they proposed something, we edited it, and send it back. The beurocracy continues.
• LGBTQ mapping
  • Watched the mapbeks webinar. It was aimed at a lower level of knowledge than I have, so I didn’t learn much. Since they switched in & out of English, I was only able to follow half of it 😆
  • Discovered Qiekub, a map display LGBTQ places in OSM.
• Communications WG
  • OSM Promotional Material Programme: posted 2 small packets of stickers to Germany
• Mapping
  • The OSM Ireland building mapping continues
  • Data Gardening & clean up (e.g. Cleaned up some wrong layer=1 and unneeded source tags
  • A toot on mastodon from Baloo Uriza reminded me that Osmose can fix things online, so I did some of that locally and in my home town
  • Weekend away means, time to do some surveying with Vespucci of picnic tables around me, PoIs in a town, and using StreetComplete to add more details
• Programming
  • Continued to work on my side project to help with vandalism
