OpenStreetMap
The German OSM Blog just kicked off its 2nd weekly task (Wochenaufgabe). The goal is to encourage mappers to tag a certain POIs during that period.
The first task was to tag bicycle tube vending machines. Over the next two weeks (community wanted a bit more time) we want to improve the coverage of electric charging stations.
In created a Wiki page to keep track of the tasks and make it easier for non-German mappers to take part:

wow, “bicycle tube vending machines” or “electric charging stations”. This is what we can call points of interest for all the people and not just for a limited category of users :-) lol

A goal of the german government is that there are one million electric vehicles on german streets in 2020. So electric charging stations will become more important.
