It amazes me how much of my city mapping is already well kept and documented. I did not realize Trivandrum had so many OpenStreetMap enthusiasts till now!

The recent wave of vandalism is very demotivating. It is genuinely painful to see billions of hours of work being destroyed. I don’t know about others but I am going to take a break from mapping until this issue is resolved. If at some point we are going to globally revert several months worth of work - why even try.
Reverting vandalism after the fact doesn’t scale when faced with organised and motivated abuse. The rate vandalism is ramping up now means it has only just started. Once streamlined, it is trivial to scale it by a factor of a thousand or more.
My proposals:
PS. I don’t know if abusers are Ukrainians or Russians but it doesn’t matter. Not to OSM and not to the war. Slava Ukraini!
Reverting vandalism after the fact doesn’t scale when faced with organised and motivated abuse. The rate vandalism is ramping up now means it has only just started. Once streamlined, it is trivial to scale it by a factor of a thousand or more.
My proposals:
As an emergency temporary measure, please immediately block registration of new users and edits by new users. This is until less blunt methods are implemented, which should be a priority.
Implement moderation of new users’ edits for the first few (1?) edits. Users should be informed this is about fighting deliberate abuse and it has nothing to do with the quality of their edits.
Throttle the number of map changes per changeset, the rate changesets are being accepted and the size of the changeset bounding box. The limits should be gradually reduced and removed based on the number number of changes or a similar metric.
… anything else?
PS. I don’t know if abusers are Ukrainians or Russians but it doesn’t matter. Not to OSM and not to the war. Slava Ukraini!

OpenStreetMap to projekt społecznościowy, oparty na dobrowolnym i wolicjonalnym wkładzie jego uczestnika. Czyli na czym? Na dobrej woli i na chęci poświęcenia tej woli na rzecz dokonania wkładu względem projektu. OpenStreetMap, podobnie jak Wikipedia, opiera się na “szaleńcach” (z punktu widzenia ekonomii kapitalistycznej i koncepcji “homo oeconomicus”), którzy dają coś (a właściwie: pracę) od siebie na rzecz społeczności (społeczeństwa) bez oczekiwania zysku w rozumieniu wynagrodzenia pieniężnego. Co ich ku temu motywuje? Mogę od siebie podać kilka takich czynników, które są moim “motorem”:
Dysponowanie mapą zmniejsza poczucie lęku i niepewności przed danym miejscem. Czy gdzieś wyjeżdżasz na wakacje, a może przeprowadzasz się na stałe w nowe miejsce zamieszkania - lubisz wiedzieć czego można się spodziewać w docelowym miejscu (lub na trasie do niego). Czy i gdzie znajdę lekarza, ulubiony sklep spożywczy, czy miejsce jest zazielone, czy raczej jest siedliskiem betonu i wszechobecnych budynków wokół? Czy jak będę chciał odpocząć, albo coś zwiedzić - to gdzie, jak daleko?
Dysponowanie mapą pomaga - i Tobie i wszystkim tym, którzy mogą chcieć Ci pomóc w określonej sytuacji. Straż pożarna szybciej dojedzie do pożaru, karetka pogotowia szybciej będzie mogła udzielić Ci pomocy, kurier czy listonosz sprawniej dostarczą to, na co czekasz.
Tworzenie map jest pożyteczne społecznie, zwłaszcza gdy mapa ta nie jest tylko Twoim prywatnym projektem i na Twój prywatny użytek, lecz z chwilą prac nad nią udostępniasz jej wyniki (jak to ma właśnie w przypadku projektu OSM). Nic tak nie dodaje pozytywnych emocji (a więc motywacji) jak myśl i fakt, że “to, co robisz, ma sens” (ile i ilu z nas, na co dzień, wykonuje pracę niemającą jakiegokolwiek sensu i pożytku dla społeczności, w której żyjemy?).
Tworzenie map ma charakter natychmiastowy - nie musisz czekać na to, aż Twoja praca zostanie przez kogoś zrecenzowana, zaakceptowana, “przeznaczona do użytku” - z chwilą publikacji swojego wkładu jest on dostępny dla każdego zainteresowanego. Masz tym samym poczucie realnego sprawstwa (tak rzadkiego w społeczeństwach, w których żyjemy), a i miło się robi gdy widzi się efekt swoich działań.

The greatest motivation for my mapping journey was to map those numerous people who do not exist on a global footprint and are overlooked. It’s not just about filling the blank spaces but validating their existence, recognizing these people and making sure that no one is left behind. Validation of the data makes sure that each data we create on OpenStreetMap (OSM) is accurate enough to create an inclusive and complete world. Through this diary, I share my enormous journey of these 5 months showcasing my motivation, challenges and triumphs that I encountered in maintaining the accuracy and quality of data in OSM.
“Everything starts from a dot” - Wassily Kandinsky The journey from a beginner mapper to being an advanced mapper, trainee, a trainer has brought me here where I stand as a Validator Fellow from being a validator at HOT Global Validator. The opportunity provided by Open Mapping Hub Asia Pacific as an OM Guru Validation Fellow has not only boosted my validating skills but also opened the door to explore more new, powerful and qualitative tools to increase the speed as well as the quality of the validation. Validating tools like OSMCha, OSMose, Maproulette and many more have created an environment where we see the quality of the data through the lens of the mappers and make sure that they are adding quality data into the existing database of OpenStreetMap. There’s a saying “Practice makes men perfect”. I believe that practice along with patience and motivation makes men perfect and you have to be patient and there must be someone to motivate you while you’re mapping to embark on your mapping journey. The constant motivation and praises from mentors like Dinar, Mikko, and Honey have made this journey look great and fruitful.
The fellowship offered collaboration between many mappers and validators around the world and learn from them as well. Also, it provided an opportunity to get engaged within various OSM communities and network around the world and see the work they have been doing to maintain the quality of OSM data and get motivated from that. The fellowship doesn’t end here but opens the door to future collaboration between OSM chapters, networks and communities of Nepal with other communities around the world through learning, sharing and helping each other.
For the past 2 decades, we have seen the impact of the data in OSM has created over the people around the world which makes it the most useful and trustworthy open geospatial data library. It’s always in the hands of valuable and dedicated mappers to add more map data and maintain the accuracy and quality of the data. Some of the major takeaways from this fellowship are:

It’s always in the hands of valuable and dedicated mappers to add more map data and maintain the accuracy and quality of the data. Some of the major takeaways from this fellowship are:
The fellowship taught you to harness the collaborative power of Citizen-Science and Voluntered Geographic Information System (VGIS) to create and maintain the quality geodatabase of the whole world.
It helped me gain the idea of problem-solving and critical thinking to solve the data quality issues that arose during the validation process.
It has increased my perception of the value and importance of open and quality geospatial data.
Finally, it has opened my door to get connected with like minds around the world and see the future collaborations and communications.

Greetings! Welcome to the first entry of my diary. Here I’ll be sharing my experience as an OMGuru, i.e., Open Mapping Guru.
Open Mapping Guru is a training program for next generation individuals who are seriously interested in community driven Open Mapping, just kidding, it’s for anyone who wants to help the community by mapping.
There are a plethora of skills and softwares/interfaces to be learnt here, but more importantly meeting a lot of people of the same mindset is a boon.
For starters, I never got to enroll this with the others as a batch. I got to know about it after two months passed when two people left two seats open. But, the people working in OSM AP Hub are gems. They guided me in every way possible. I could cover all the necessary requirements in a very short amount of time, earning the skills in the way.
When I first started, I was reluctant.. thinking how can this mountain of tasks be covered within such a miniscule amount of time? But our guide from OSM AP Hub curated the tasks so well that I started enjoying it.
Then the Climate Change Challenge event started where we had to pair up as a team.i love it how they gamify the events and we learn the skills in the process. The person who came up with this idea is a genius.
I can’t fathom how it ended so soon. I’m so glad that I could get this opportunity. I determine to enroll again if they permit me, moreover help other aspirants get enrolled in the process.
Thank you for such patience. I’m really grateful.

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)

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.
