A Local Knowledge Dilemma? - A Data-Driven Alert for OSM

Thanks, can you share the changes to the notebook code to get to those results?

My understanding was that ways shouldn’t be counted to avoid including buildings and roads edits.

Is there a link to the OSHDB dataset per country as in Geofabrik?

Thanks!

Sorry for that, Slack invites are messy, that’s why we set up bridged matrix rooms anyone can read or register to participate.

Reimagining the OSM User Profile

Hi all,

Can I suggest to frame this conversation more widely? (both in audience and scope).

I would suggest to open a new topic over the OSM Community Forums to reach out to more people:

https://community.openstreetmap.org/c/general/38

The framing for this topic might be better around the problem space first, to get overall alignment on what problems, issues or improvements the OSM site has today for contributors and users. With the right framing, discussion overseeing and time boundaries, this will avoid the never ending discussion around specific solutions.

Once the scope of the problem space is well defined, maybe there is a need for a working group to handle that, understanding how many people with UX, design and coding expertise are needed and what are the priority buckets.

If there is not enough people with free time to commit, maybe asking OSMF or others to finance the work of this WG would be a good idea.

My 2 cents here :-)

Cheers.

Resumen temático: Construcción de comunidad local en OSM: Consejos, trucos y desafíos

Muchas gracias por el resumen Juan y por la participación en el seminario, creo que es un buen punto inicial para acercar más a las comunidades y colaboradores hispanohablantes para aunar esfuerzos y compartir conocimientos.

Saludos.

Reimagining the OSM User Profile

Thanks for sharing this idea, I fully agree that contributor experience should improve and adapt to modern times and dynamics, that something I’m thinking a lot in my daily job as HOT Community Strategist.

There are clearly a few problems we can describe about the current contributor experience and some assumptions on how to improve them. In addition to that there are also few resources to test these assumptions, but I’m confident there will be opportunities to support the people who are interested in this space.

Gustavo, let me know if you want to talk about this more over a coffee-chat or email, more than happy to learn more about your ideas!

Cheers.

Understanding the Humanitarian Open Mapping Movement

Thanks for the comments.

Mikel, I’ll check the paper, thanks for that.

PlayzinhoAgro, yes, localized content is key for inclusion. We are already having some internal conversations at HOT to frame a localization strategy plan. I suspect we’ll have more time during the second half of 2021 to advance on that and we will definitely reach out to contributors and communities to be part of the process.

Feel free to follow the current Humanitarian Open Mapping Community Working group channels:

Individual Comments from participants about Diversity and Inclusion committee - 2021 OSMF community survey

Thanks for sharing this.

Are we able to understand the gender, location diversity of the respondants of these questions?

It would be good to understand how well represented are the groups or people often excluded from our communities or who have been target of discrimination or abusive behaviors.

Loud voices from privileged populations often hide the people who need their voices to be heard the most.

“Everything is fine for me” doesn’t mean other people might have a totally different experience.

Thanks!
