Following a suggestion by @andygol, I decided to refresh the Highway Tag Usage Scheme used by the Ukrainian OSM community. The original work on this scheme began back in 2013 — see the discussion in the Highways of Ukraine topic.
I continued on with the Happy Valley work, and found that I was able to do a portion of Johnny Hill Road.
I’ll be continuing on at this new pace.

Slowly working to edit and add information about public infrastructure, along with surveillance information.

Hi OSM Community,
Today I added the location of our custom packaging workspace to the map to help local businesses and delivery services find us more easily. We specialize in producing eco-friendly and custom packaging solutions for food, retail, and cosmetic industries in the UK.
OpenStreetMap has been a great tool for navigating and contributing to local visibility. Mapping our business here also helps others discover nearby services and suppliers more efficiently.
If you’re ever searching for sustainable sandwich boxes, earring packaging, or cardboard containers, we’re here to help — and now easier to find on the map!
Looking forward to making more contributions to the platform soon.
Thanks, Custom Boxes UK

There has been a recent surge of interest in mapping walking infrastructure in Melbourne. This is very exciting because many parts have been lacking for a long time.
In Japan, when you buy tobaccos from a vending machine, you first have to prove that you are 20+ years old. Since 2008, The Japan Tobacconist Federation has been issuing taspo smart cards to adult smokers.
I added another set of buildings on Hamel Street and Garland Street. Had to also fix some naming issues on Hamel Street

A collection/showcase of the different buildings and areas that I have mapped in 3D (through much trial and error). Each location has a link to view on OSM where you can see what building parts and tagging Ive used to represent these buildings.
I added several more houses sheds and garages to the Happy Valley Goose Bay area. I think that i will try to add more to other areas shortly, and speed up my time to a street a day so that I can start on other communities sooner.

Recently Malagas bus route number 37 was extended to Residencia Santa Clara in the hills outside the city. This part of the route had been suspended for a few years, and I knew that some stops had been relocated in the meantime.

I added several extra parts to Hamel Street, which I had to name, because apparently there hadn’t been a name available on it. I added several houses, and will add more soon.
I added data to the Mauritania mapping for the agricultural component of the UN. Most of these appear to have been a result of the shape of the landscape, around the farmland.
I think that next time I will use the Josm tool.

A style using the Shortbread vector tiles is now live on OpenStreetMap.org. Theres been some minor issues with the roll-out, but nothing that caused me to panic.
Many OSM validators will report an error if a crosses a without some additional tags or structure at the intersection, such as a bridge, culvert, or ford.
I like to map trees. Last year, I wrote a diary about trees mapping, a wiki page to document tagging of Italian monumental trees tagging, a trivia thread about the tallest trees in the database etc.
Slowly working to edit and add information about public infrastructure, along with surveillance information.
I havent written anything in this diary yet, so I decided to just do that.

April 15–19, 2025, proved to be a special landmark in my mapping experience when I participated in the OSM Spring Mapathon 2025, sponsored by Youth Innovation Lab. I am excited to announce that I won the Beginner Category for 22,922 map changes!
This acknowledgement is meaningful to me—not only as a personal achievement, but also as a personal reminder of my growth since first hearing about OpenStreetMap (OSM) during 2021. At that time, OSM was merely another name, still learning its way into my periphery. Little did I realize the meaning that OSM would take on as an important part of my learning and contribution trajectory.
I committed a certain amount of time each day during the Mapathon to updating map data. Anything from adding roads, perfecting building footprints, or fixing map glitches and errors. Each change adding to a sense of satisfaction that somewhere someone would benefit from finally going through something that they could map out into a community, and their community becoming visible, sharing their data.
The event itself was inspiring. While Youth Innovation Lab was the primary host, the Mapathon brought together fellow mappers from across the land, and beyond. Each day’s schedule created an exciting and competitive environment that made staying sedimentary contagious.
Though I did not expect to win the Beginner Category, I am even more so grateful. The motivation of this experience is further proof that with the appropriate due diligence, sprinkling curiosity and learning, anything is possible!

As you might know, were having OpenStreetMap Awards this year! Finally, after many skipped years, we will have the honour and the joy to recognize people and teams who have made an impact on OSM, whether its by mapping, writing, or coding!

Questions
- Does OSM track the last time a user made an diary entry?
- Does the last map edit timestamp on a user’s profile indicate only the edits made to maps or diaries and notes as well?
Most of our mapping parties, if not all, start with a brief introduction. The newbies are informed about the various benefits of using and contributing to OpenStreetMap, such as massive improvements to the individual’s privacy and an easy mechanism t…

Working independently to help plot missing areas but conscious of the current geopolitical situation. Can anyone recommend if there’s any areas to be mapped out of urgency? For instance Texas with the current floods, Gaza or Ukraine etc for the humanitarian issues and destruction of war. I want my work to have as much positive impact and possible and consequentially don’t want to be plotting somewhere remote in say Africa for instance when actually somewhere else is in a much more urgent and desperate need. Many thanks.
