• Mapping
  • I’ve continued to map a lot, incl. opening hours with EveryDoor etc
  • I was in Dublin, and there was so much new PoIs & shops to map!
• Community
  • Mastodon
    • Elon Musk, the new Twitter owner has not been popular on Twitter, so many people are switching to Mastodon.
    • en.osm.town has seen a large increase in usage & new members.
      • It’s time to get more organised & professional!
        • I’ve set up 🧭 @compass@en.osm.town as an admin/mod for the server.
        • Previously I was listed as admin. I asked for ideas.
      • I asked for a new logo. Covered in WkOSM №644. @LySioS@pouet.chapril.org has suggested a dozen OSM/Mastodon logos! (need to set this up)
    • The OpenStreetMap Twitter account now mentions the OpenStreetMap fediverse account (@openstreetmap@en.osm.town), which helps people move.
    • An important missing feature is group posting. I asked if there was a mastodon alternative. Alas, nothing yet.
  • In Dublin, I organised a last minute pub meet. It was fun to catch up with old friends. 🐘 🐦, 📆 🗫 📧
• CWG
  • Freebies / Promotional Material Programme
    • People noticed on the discourse forum that I haven’t sent any in a while. Oops.
    • I finally dug up my password and cleaned out the ~50 spam emails there
    • I do want to keep doing this.
  • I kept posting on OSM Instagram
• OSMF Board
  • Board Meeting
    • In my last board meeting, the Board voted:
      • to require that people have to ≥21 days of mapping (from >15) to be an OSMF member (or assoc. member). I emailed MWG
      • to commission a CT compatibility template. I emailed LWG.
      • to require that imports list whether they are CT compatible or not on the imports catalog. I emailed LWG & DWG, and talk@ list 📧, imports@ list 📧, osmus slack #imports, discord #imports. )
