What I did in OpenStreetMap in February 2022
Posted by ᚛ᚐᚋᚐᚅᚇᚐ᚜ 🏳️🌈 on 20 March 2022 in English (English).- Mapping
- someone finished the River Modernisation for Germany. I was slowly fixing them up in Baden-Würrttemberg. It looks like I’ll have to do some other things
- Hacking
- Nominatim
- part of work, I’ve documented one different way to set up nominatim updates
- Nominatim
- OSMF Board
- Screen2Screen 2 day meeting 2022Q1
- Times were weird. For me: 16:00→00:00 on Sat and then 09:00→~14:00 the next day. So I had the day free, then busy the whole evening, and soon as it was over, straight to bed to try to sleep to get up in a few hours. It threw the vibe off IMO.
- We had a long and convoluted conversation about the wording we’re gonna do for the membership pre-requisites vote
- There was some good conversations about updating the board CoI rules, about trying to reduce the board workload, about how we’re gonna encourage people to run for the board
- My diary entries like this were mentioned. It’s nice to know people appreciate it.
- Local Chapters
- OpenStreetMa Austria application for Austria
- Emailed FOSSGIS, the OSMF Local Chapter for Germany, to ask them for feedback. FOSSGIS, as a club, covers “german speaking area”, and is an OSGeo Local Chapter for Germany and Austria (etc.). They’re supportive of the idea.
- Windsor HackForge Application
- Emailed LCCWG to ask if they were involved, they aren’t.
- OpenStreetMap Gambia application for Gambia
- Updated internal gitlab issue, and followed up on some docs they were missing
- Emailed LCCWG to ask if they were involved, they aren’t.
- MapUganda application
- Started the board vote & voted “no, not yet”.
- I gave more details in replies to this on twitter
- OpenStreetMa Austria application for Austria
- Board Meeting
- Gave updates like this entry, nothing else from me
- Moving OSMF out of UK
- An OSMer was asking me about this, so I provided information
- Richard Fairhurt noticed bad advice from Strava suggesting deleting things in OSM. I tried to get in touch with Strava, but thankfully they have fixed it before I could follow the trail of “oh I don’t work there, talk to $NAME”. But I did make some tweet.
- Screen2Screen 2 day meeting 2022Q1
- CWG
- Got 2 other CWGers added to the new CWG email queue/OTRS so they could investigate
- Promotional Material Programme
- Thanks to TomH got a OTRS queue which should help
- Mastodon en.osm.town
osm.town
domain name renewed. I filed expense claim
- Posted on the OSM World discord asking about a circular logo
- Attended CWG meeting

Hallo Amanda, leider lassen sich Deine Beiträge für das weeklyOSM nicht automatisch in andere Sprachen übersetzen. Ob das an Deinem Usernamen liegt?

Thank You for Your reply.
In weeklyOSM we use the following links for automatic translations (Google is as we know the only free of charge option for our readers) to our 12 different languages wherever possible.
For example this is the link to read your blog in the German “Wochennotiz”:

When I use this link I get an error message in all my browsers (Firefox, Chrome, Edge, Chromium).
