Mapping
- I wonder how you can tag Schnappesbrunnen, or other honesty boxes, in OSM. 🐦, also discord
Hacking
- Filed issue suggesting that Vespucci warn you if you haven’t loaded in a while.
- Filed issue for osm-community-index about weird spike for ireland
OSMF Board
- Uploaded the responses I got from the proposed Mod. Team based on the board’s info request
- Board Meeting
  - Err… can’t remember, the minutes are always good.
- Advisory Board - Ended the poll, choose a date & emailed lists - 2022Q1 AB Meeting - The (currently draft) minutes cover a lot of details. - Once again, there was only one representative from our Corporate Members (Facebook), and they hardly participated.
- C68 & OSMF Next Cloud
  - Forwarded some paperwork to our bookkeeper
- I wonder if the OSMF should properly pay for a lawyer
- AMA SotM
  - Last year, the OSMF presented an “Ask Us Anything” session at SotM 2021 (details also on osm wiki).
  - I submited a proposal for the same again for SotM 2022
CWG
- Freebies / Promotional Material Programme
  - Sun, Apr 3, 2022 replied to Michelle’s email with example of PayPal statements
  - Posted envelope to DE
- OpenStreetMap Instagram & OpenStreetMap Pinterest
  - Emailed WeeklyOSM to let them know that I’m often using their images
- en.osm.town Mastodon server
  - Emailed the person who controls the @openstreetmap twitter account to again ask them to set up a Mastodon ⇄ Twitter cross poster

- In mapmeld’s diary (“My 2022 in OSM so far”) liked this type of post, and worried about “stealing” this idea and format! 🤣
- For the avoidance of doubt, you cannot “steal” this type of post, I am totally OK with most posts like this.
- I really hope more people post about what they’re doing in OSM.
- Board members sometimes must evaluate someone’s OSM contributions (e.g. ACM). Posts like this would make that task much easier.

(In April, I was not as active as before with OSM(F) stuff, because there was water damage in my flat, which was very stressful & time consuming to solve)
