Oh, Apple gives the attribution when needed. Rather, the specific article posted here didn't mention it (I think the author wasn't aware of it and/or it didn't matter for the article)

Sorry if it doesn’t fit into this community - didn’t find a better community to post this and the sidebar says “OSM related software” posts are ok.

It shows an OSM-view as default, so this still fits this community. In the past, someone posted a news article about Apple Maps; I commented that that didn't fit the community guidelines because OSM wasn't even mentioned in the article (even though Apple Maps uses it!). Even then, I didn't delete the post so...

Because the northern hemisphere is mostly land mass and the southern hemisphere is mostly ocean. Land heats faster and cools faster than ocean, thus the seasonal effects are more pronounced in the data.

Same with CO2 patterns which gives a similar yearly 'breathing effect'

Indeed, advertising=screen. You can also use https://mapcomplete.org/advertising and let MapComplete handle all the pesky tagging ;)

How can we make sure their privacy claims about search aren't bullshit?

(I still trust them though, just pointing out it is an equivalent problem)

Cool! I love the concept of Mobilizon, but the user experience has bitten me quite often. Gancio looks really nice!

I'm gonna be giving a bit of contrarian advise here: don't force yourself. No-one asked you to do this all, so take it easy and one bit at a time. If you are a volunteer, just have some fun with it. When you don't feel like continuing anymore, don't.

Another piece of advice: "if you want to go fast, go alone; if you want to go far, go together". (But the latter is more work). If you live in a medium-sized (or bigger) city, maybe there are a few people interested in joining? Post to the local facebook group and do a small gathering with a cup of tea and map together.

Hi!

I'm the main dev of https://mapcomplete.osm.be (and also one of the modsof this subcommunity). I have a long train journey ahead of me today (and next week again).The ideal moment to answer questions from other OSM-contributors.

So, shoot!

Hi! This is the place to show or tell about some cool stuff you did with OpenStreetMap!

HI all,

Sorry for spamming, but seeing that the other OSM-post got quite some traction, I wanted to point out that the OSM-community here is coming to life as well.

You can post your beginner questions into the newbie friday thread or brag about your mapping projects into the showoff sunday thread

At last, please post OSM-related content over there! We need to get this party started...

Did you recently (or not recently) map a cool area that you want to show? Something you are proud of? Post it here! A little explanation of why it is cool might help as well.

Hi!

OpenStreetMap is a map that anyone can edit and anyone can freely reuse. It has a huge ecosystem, and can thus be a bit confusing to edit or to work with.

I thought that having a weekly thread to ask all beginner questions would be nice for everyone interested, so - go for it!

If you know the answer to a question, please answer (so that I don't have to answer everything).

Hi all!

Welcome to the OSM-community on Lemmy. With this post, we'd like to introduce us, tell us what you expect from this place and what it should/might become.

BTW: we are still open to add more moderators! Make an introduction post here, mentioning why you want to moderate and showing some of your mapping work. (If you don't want to share your OSM-username, you can also PM that to one of the mods)

So, I'm @pietervdvn (https://osm.org/user/Pieter%20Vander%20Vennet ; he/him), I'm the main dev of https://mapcomplete.osm.be . I'm involved with OSM most of the time and quite happy that there is momentum to move away from Reddit to an open-source, federated platform. ;) Personally, I already have a lot on my plate so I do not have enough team to moderate this place, so I'd like to get a team here quickly and start this place so that I can retire here.

https://lemmy.ml/u/Ben_on_Lemmy was the original founder of this community - but lost interest as nobody joined a few years back. But the tides have turned! One thorough search for the password of his account later and he's back!

At last, https://lemmy.ml/u/SyJ just joined the moderation team as well - even though I don't know a whole lot about them.

So:

  • Do you have any questions for us?
  • What do you expect from the moderation team?
  • What do you expect from !openstreetmap?
  • What should this place look like in about one year time?

Hi all,

I have been made moderator for this community after I requested this.

However, I'm but a human too - and I already have enough to do, so I would like to spread the load as much as possible - not to mention that I'll be on holidays soon.

In other words, I'm searching for some more people to man the ship!

To apply as moderator here, I'd like to be sure that you are well-embedded in the OSM-community and have the necessary skills. As lemmy is a mostly english-speaking community, you must have decent english skills.

Furthermore, some communication skills and discretion is necessary too. At last, a bit of time to regularly check the community here is necessary as well (I'm lacking the last thing a bit). Furhtermore, you'll obviously need an account in the threadiverse. If you have an account (on another server), that should work. (I think one can moderate over server boundaries). If you don't have an account yet, it might be a good idea to make one on lemmy.ml as that is the one hosting the community.

As many people discovered lemmy just recently, the useraccount here probably won't have a lot of credit here. As such, you can:

Hi,

The current mod hasn't been active for over a year: https://lemmy.ml/u/Ben_on_Lemmy

I'd like to take over the baton now that some activity is picking up there (and appoint some more mods as well).

Kind regards, Pietervdvn

Hi,

I'm very active within OpenStreetMap. As many refugees from Reddit, I'm taking shelter here and found the OSM-community.

Hover, there is only one moderator there, which seems to be inactive for >3 years. Is there a process to make me moderator of that community? I'll make sure to create a moderation team there as well.
