I work for the Commons. I work for the common good. But no, I will not release my edits under a “Public Domain” license.
Anyone can use my work, but under my terms. The ODbL terms. These are fair terms. It’s simple, credit us. And if you want to mix “your” data with ours, honour our time and our labour. Release it under the ODbL.
I don’t work Facebook or Amazon. I do not provide free labour for US tech companies. I am happy for you to use my data, but under my terms. The ODbL. No other license.
I want to make the world a better place. Not make a few Americans richer.

We care about having the best data. We care about having the map. We care about having the best mapping community.
“We” is doing a lot here. Honestly, I don’t care about the render. Sure I’ve wanted some things rendered before, sure I’ve been emotional when it didn’t magically happen. But I’ve only though about rendering for a few minutes. People care a lot more then me, in retrospect, I’m sorry. I should have trusted you.
Honestly, I don’t care about the intricacies of tagging/”schemas”. Sure I’ve gotten emotional on the mailing list, and I’ve even talked about “you” (the list) behind your back. But you’ve thought about this more than me, I should have trusted you. Sorry.
I have thought a lot about the quality of our data, it’s not perfect. About the usability of our data, there are issues. About the accessibility of our data, it could easier. But actually we are doing pretty good. We are even doing better than the commercial datasets.
So trust the people that care the most, support us, encourage us, give us data and tooling, but most importantly, don’t get in our way. We’ve got this.

I don’t know why but I get a thrill every time I work on a map. Is that weird? It makes me want to keep coming back to do more. I also enjoy the fact that it may prove useful to others!

Mapping Cary’s Downtown Park
First Contribution
This was my first attempt at trying to map out a public park from the original CAD drawings attempting to draw out this map by hand using JOSM. If there’s a way that I could trace polygons from QGIS and be able to save them, I’ll probably end up trying to go that route.
What I Learned
- AutoCAD files aren’t always geocoded
- GeoParquet files are your friend
- Geodatabases are your best friend
- Don’t trust Aerial Imagery, field surveys

Someone should really praise me for the incredible job I’m doing of mapping a shitload of POIs in my neighborhood
Also, how do I put smileys, on here ?

We use the data from OpenStreetMap while hiking through Colombia, Panama and Peru. It is really solid and a big thanks you to all the contributors!
One thing always stands out though. Almost all of the local people have never heard of the name ‘OpenStreetMap’. However, whenever we get information about trails they ask if we use Maps.me or recommend using it. For those that don’t know, Maps.me is simply an app showing data from OpenSteetMap!
We’re not sure why Maps.me is such a popular recommendation, though the name may be easier to remember that OpenStreetMap. We think it may simply have been one of the first apps that was free and allowed you to easily download maps for offline use?
We use an app called Organic Maps ourselves and can recommend it to anyone that goes hiking in another country. It is a privacy-friendly app and we found out it even preloads data from Wikipedia (for instance on towns, soms highlights/attractions and mountain tops).

This will be a never-ending diary post to see what you guys think about some important OSM issues and questions because of how shallow I am in the community.
The onosm notes in Iran have reached an absurd level, to a point where we should, if possible, consider whether to shut down those notes there entirely. Currently, there are 339 onosm notes in the recent 500 on neis-one. Let me know your opinions on this.
