Das ist mein letzter Beitrag, bevor ich mich von OSM verabschiede. Es war eine schöne Zeit, aber in den letzten Wochen und Monaten bin ich immer mal wieder auf Rücksichtslosigkeit, Destruktivität und Respektlosigkeit gestoßen. War es früher besser? Ich weiß es nicht, vielleicht wird es mir jetzt nur bewusster. Auf jeden Fall ist die Freude am Projekt immer weniger geworden.

Rückblickend überwiegen aber die vielen Erinnerungen an die so positiven Begegnungen mit den Mapperinnen und Mappern. So schließe ich dieses Kapitel leichten Herzens.

Alles Gute! Robert (robhubi)

Mit der Intention, mehr als nur eine Plattform für soziale Vernetzung zu sein, betritt MeetLobby, die Ruhrpott-Community, die Bühne. Geführt von Roland Richert, strebt diese Gemeinschaft an, nicht nur Gleichgesinnte zusammenzubringen, sondern Menschen aktiv dazu zu befähigen, an gemeinschaftsfördernden Missionen teilzunehmen und die nachbarschaftliche Hilfe im Ruhrgebiet zu stärken. Eine Gemeinschaft im Herzen des Ruhrpotts

Das Ruhrgebiet, im Volksmund auch liebevoll Ruhrpott genannt, ist bekannt für seinen Kohlebergbau, seine faszinierende Industriekultur, aber vor allem für die herzlichen Menschen, die dort leben. “Vom Ruhrpott für den Ruhrpott”, so definiert sich die Plattform MeetLobby. Sie repräsentiert eine Gemeinschaft, in der Menschen sich nicht nur austauschen und neue Freundschaften schließen können, sondern sich aktiv in das Geschehen ihrer Region einbringen. Inspiriert durch den solidarischen Geist der Bergwerksgeschichte, fühlt sich MeetLobby dazu berufen, diesen Gemeinschaftssinn weiterleben zu lassen und die nachbarschaftliche Hilfe zu fördern. Mitmachen und Verbinden: Die nachbarschaftliche Mission von MeetLobby

Der Kern der MeetLobby-Initiative besteht darin, Mitgliedern zu ermöglichen, Teil von etwas Größerem zu werden. Mit der Registrierung bei MeetLobby können Nutzer nicht nur an spannenden Events teilnehmen und neue Kontakte knüpfen, sondern auch an Missionen zur Förderung der Gemeinschaft und zur Unterstützung der Nachbarschaftshilfe. “Registriere dich jetzt und sei dabei”, betont Geschäftsführer Roland Richert. Er sieht das Potenzial der Plattform vor allem darin, gesellschaftlichen Zusammenhalt zu stärken und Menschen dazu zu inspirieren, sich aktiv für ihre Gemeinschaft einzusetzen. Bei MeetLobby dreht sich jedoch nicht alles nur um das Gemeinwohl. Basierend auf individuellen Interessen und Anforderungen der Mitglieder bietet die Plattform vielfältige Möglichkeiten für persönliche Entwicklungen und Begegnungen. Ob jemand eine Reisebegleitung, einen neuen Trainingspartner oder vielleicht sogar die große Liebe sucht – MeetLobby schafft die Voraussetzungen. Diese Pressemitteilung ist somit ein Aufruf an alle Ruhrpottbewohner und die, die es werden wollen: Werden Sie Teil einer Gemeinschaft, die mehr als nur online verbindet. Machen Sie mit, lernen Sie neue Leute kennen, bleiben Sie auf dem Laufenden und unterstützen Sie Ihre Nachbarschaft. Mit MeetLobby befinden Sie sich stets ganz nah am Puls des Ruhrgebiets.

Triff neue Leute, tausch dich aus und verbinde dich mit Freunden. Wir sind MeetLobby, die Ruhrpott-Community. Eine Gemeinschaft, die den Geist von Zusammenhalt, Freundschaft und Nachbarschaftshilfe lebt. Gemeinsam gestalten wir den Ruhrpott, knüpfen Kontakte, teilen Erlebnisse und stärken unsere Gemeinschaft. Werde Teil davon und gestalte aktiv mit – vom Ruhrpott, für den Ruhrpott.


Today I mapped Lavdar i Korçës which according to OSM data has a population of around 1152. The village was not very big, and I was quite motivated today, so I moved to another village close to Lavdar.

Polenë, according to OSM data, has a population of around 752. Did not fully map it, but I think I might have mapped around 80% of the buildings. To my surprise, the streets were mapped pretty well.

I do hope I can continue to map daily for the next 4 days because I will be volunteering at WordCamp Europe in Torino. If I do not manage to map, I will catch up when I get back home.

Introduction


Hello, fellow mappers! I’m excited to share my experiences as a part of the Open Mapping Guru Fellowship program for 2024. This journey has been an amazing mix of learning, challenges, and making a real impact in the world of open mapping.

From OSM Beginner to Validation Fellow


My OpenStreetMap (OSM) journey began in October 2021 during a training organized by the Geomatics Engineering Students’ Association of Nepal (GESAN). I was immediately drawn to the collaborative nature of OSM and its ability to create free, up-to-date maps for everyone. I wanted to do more than just make edits. That’s when I found out about the OM Guru Fellowship, which has tracks for Mapping, Training, and Validation. The Validation track really interested me, and I was lucky to be selected for it. Knowing that my work helps create reliable maps for disaster response, humanitarian efforts, and other important uses gives me a strong sense of purpose. It feels good to know that behind every useful map, there are contributors working hard to make sure it’s right.

Fellowship Experience:


Being a part of OM Guru Fellowship was more than just learning new skills; it was a transformative experience. The fellowship made me think critically about data quality and gave me more knowledge of powerful validation tools. From OSMCha and Osmose for thorough quality checks to MapRoulette for fun task completion, I learned to find and fix errors precisely. Each task was a new challenge, keeping me engaged and helping me improve as a validator.

My Learnings:


The biggest lesson I learned from the fellowship is the power of collaboration in open mapping. Every validation task, every discussion and every challenge shows the collective effort that goes into creating high-quality maps. It’s humbling to be part of this global network of passionate individuals, all working towards the same goal – a more accurate and accessible map for everyone.

My Achievement


My biggest achievement through this fellowship is knowing that my validation efforts have made OpenStreetMap more reliable and trustworthy. Every error I fixed and every improved highway crossing is a step towards making these maps valuable tools for communities in need. This journey with the OM Guru Fellowship has been incredible. I’m very grateful to the entire team at Open Mapping Hub Asia-Pacific, especially Mikko and Dinar, for their guidance and support. As I continue my mapping journey, I’m committed to using my validation skills to help communities and contribute to a more resilient future for all. This is just the beginning of my OSM story. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions. Happy mapping!

I first heard about the OMGuru Fellowship in November 2023 at the FOSS4G conference in Bangkok. Intrigued by the opportunity, I applied and was thrilled to be selected for the mapping fellowship. What followed was an incredible journey of learning, growth, and impactful experiences.

During the fellowship, I was introduced to various powerful tools such as JOSM, RapID, Mapillary, and the EverDoor app. Each of these tools enhanced my mapping skills and broadened my understanding of the technological landscape in the field of geographic information systems.

A significant highlight of the fellowship was participating in a climate change competition. This ongoing challenge provided me with hands-on experience using MapSwipe and MapRoulette and allowed me to lead a team, further honing my leadership and collaborative skills.

Over the past five months, the fellowship has not been without its challenges. Natural disasters such as an earthquake in Papua New Guinea and floods in Afghanistan required urgent mapping efforts for response activities. The OMGuru Fellowship equipped me with the tools and knowledge to contribute meaningfully to these efforts, opening doors to real-world applications of my mapping skills in crises.

The OMGuru Fellowship has been a transformative experience, providing me with invaluable skills and the opportunity to make a tangible impact. I am grateful for the support and guidance from OpenStreetMap and APHub, and I look forward to continuing my journey in the world of open-source mapping.

MY FELLOWSHIP JOURNEY

Introduction


“Hello Mappers, I’m Bendita Vilar Moreira Leite from Timor-Leste. I’m excited to share a glimpse into my fellowship journey through this diary post, where I’ll recount my training experience, reflect on my learning, and explore the impact of learn.

As a young Timorese individual, my journey in digital mapping began on February 3rd 2023. It marked my initial foray into mapping for open-source data, although initially, I struggled to grasp its intricacies. However, my passion for mapping truly ignited through my involvement with the G-SIG association. It was there that I found the inspiration and encouragement to delve deeper into this field.

My participation in OMGuru Fellowship


My participation in the OMGuru fellowship in January 2024 was a remarkable opportunity that I seized eagerly. Despite having some prior knowledge of mapping through platforms like OSM OpenStreetMap and Tasking Manager, I realized that I still had much to learn to become a proficient mapping. However, the fellowship provided an excellent platform for growth. Through engaging capacity-building sessions conducted via Google Meet, our trainers shared valuable insights and lessons related to open-source platforms. Additionally, they created a dedicated G-Classroom where we could access course materials and assignments. These resources proved invaluable in enhancing our skills and knowledge in the field of mapping.

An amazing experience that I found through OMGuru fellowship journey


Participating in the OMGuru fellowship provided me with invaluable experiences. Through their comprehensive capacity-building sessions, I not only learned the intricacies of proper mapping techniques but also gained skills in data analysis and validation. The fellowship introduced me to various open-source platforms such as Tasking Manager, JOSM, Osmosse, Maproulatte, and OsmCha, each aimed at enhancing the quality of data on OpenStreetMap. It was a stroke of luck to have received such a golden opportunity.

The influence and positive impact of this study on my personal growth and professional skills


The benefits of participating in this fellowship were manifold. Not only did it help me achieve my goal of becoming a proficient mapping, but it also broadened my horizons with new experiences. Even I know that to be a professional mapper it’s really hard to me to learnt new things of mapping but I still try to understand and do my best to achieve my goals of learning. I am eager to share the knowledge and skills acquired through these open-source platforms, especially with fellow youths in our nation, encouraging them to contribute to our country’s a positivity data.

I’m thrilled to be participating in this fellowship. As I reflect on my journey of learning and growth, I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to OMGuru for the invaluable opportunity and the rich experience and skills I’ve acquired. By the end of this fellowship, my aspiration is to acquire new mapping skills and learn how to contribute to open-source data. I’m eager to share my knowledge with those in need.



I was in a hurry today and I was hoping on a small village, but Stropckë proved to be quite big. Stropckë is a village with a population of around 1200.

“#100villagesin100days #Day9”










Qerret (18/40.56564/20.40550) was pretty well mapped but while searching for Qerret, many villages with the same name came up, so i decided to map a couple of them.

  • Qerret (Kavaje) 18/41.21660/19.52769, mapped most of it.

  • Qerret (Gramsh) 18/40.90477/20.16848, mapped most of it.

  • Qerret (Elbasan) 18/41.21761/20.19745, added some buildings.
I just realized that instead of adding the tag “#100villagesin100days” under Hashtags i have been adding under Sources… I do not know if there is any way to correct the mistake.
