The use of Free and Open Source Software in the OpenStreetMap Foundation | From Richard:
I want to +1 this. OpenStreetMap Foundation should not prescribe any particular tool upon itself or any of the volunteers that participate in the OSM community. It should use tools that make the map better or support our community making the map better. Our volunteers have limited energy and time. We should ask that they spend it on making OpenStreetMap better and not worry about pushing a FOSS mindset. |

Announcing Daylight Map Distribution | Thanks for sharing this, Mike! Great to see how Facebook is catching harmful edits to OSM, too. |
|
Just Testing Again | I didn’t work there, I just visited several times and ran some meetups there back before I moved out of Chicago. It’s a great space! |

Just Testing Again | Hey I used to go to 1871 all the time. Have fun! |

Mapping with CalFire | This sounds really interesting! Would you be interested in talking about this at the upcoming State of the Map US in Minneapolis this September? It’d be cool to hear more about how folks use OSM in emergency services like this. |

Take a right on “Too Damn Far Rd” | By that I mean: are you going to keep running this? Will you work with the OSMCha team to flag changesets that introduce new low-quality data? |
|
Take a right on “Too Damn Far Rd” | This is really interesting. How are you applying this work? |

RoboSat ❤️ Tanzania | Great walkthrough! Thanks for writing it up. |

TIGER node/way burndown | By “sane actions” you mean “delete everything and remap”? |
|
TIGER node/way burndown | There’s plenty of TIGER data that is fine as-is, and this measure won’t take that into account. Maybe a bit of spatial analysis could be done to mark TIGER nodes and ways as “touched” if other activity was made in the immediate vicinity (within a few dozen meters)? |

Ground Zero of ARPANet, Grandfather of the Internet (OSM's Platform) | The binary translates to |
|
For the newbies: Let us map using StreetComplete | StreetComplete is great, but it was not developed by Mapzen. It simply uses Mapzen vector tiles for display. |
|
How to revert an edit | I reverted it with the JOSM Reverter plugin and uploaded it in http://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/51083052. |

Another walking site using OSM | I suggest you use their contact or forum pages to politely ask them to add proper attribution. |

Hello, OSM. | Hi Andrew! Thanks for joining us! |

OnOsm.org now supports internationalization, geolocation in browser | Thanks for the pull requests! I’m looking forward to the changes you’re making. |

iD with modules 🔜 | This is great, thanks for all the work making these changes! |

The Magic MapRoulette Machine | This is awesome, Martijn! Super easy way to get started and will be really helpful for mapping parties. |

Attribution and all that (a rant) | My guess is that OSM does a horrible job leading by example. There’s no easily-accessible or discoverable (via a Google search) tutorial describing how to use the popular map javascript APIs. We could also do a better job seeking out the authors of tutorials that get used currently to make sure their tutorials follow the rules. … or we could do a better job at recruiting and keeping mappers. Personally, I don’t think attribution on a map is a great way to do that. |
