What I did in OpenStreetMap in January 2022

I think Null Island should be in OSM. Initial post from someone asking to remove it, my opinion 🐘 on fediverse post 🐦 same on twitter
Don’t copy from Google Street View, OSM might be stricter than Google 🐘 🐦.
I took part in OSM Ireland Map & Chat event
Hacking
- As part of work I’ve been fixing little things in Nominatim, like this typo
- Someone asked how to find OSM users who comment on changeset, but don’t edit OSM, so I wrote a simple programme (anglosaxon source on github, install via crates) to do it and wrote a diary entry. 🐘 🐦
