Everything #OpenStreetMap related is welcome: software releases, showing of your work, questions about how to tag something, as long as it has to do with OpenStreetMap or OpenStreetMap-related software.

OpenStreetMap is a map of the world, created by people like you and free to use under an open license.

Join OpenStreetMap and start mapping: https://www.openstreetmap.org.

There are many communication channels about OSM, many organized around a certain country or region. Discover them on https://openstreetmap.community

https://mapcomplete.org is an easy-to-use website to view, edit and add points (such as shops, restaurants and others)

https://learnosm.org/en/ has a lot of information for beginners too.

MODERATORS
 

Hi all,

I have been made moderator for this community after I requested this.

However, I'm but a human too - and I already have enough to do, so I would like to spread the load as much as possible - not to mention that I'll be on holidays soon.

In other words, I'm searching for some more people to man the ship!

To apply as moderator here, I'd like to be sure that you are well-embedded in the OSM-community and have the necessary skills. As lemmy is a mostly english-speaking community, you must have decent english skills.

Furthermore, some communication skills and discretion is necessary too. At last, a bit of time to regularly check the community here is necessary as well (I'm lacking the last thing a bit). Furhtermore, you'll obviously need an account in the threadiverse. If you have an account (on another server), that should work. (I think one can moderate over server boundaries). If you don't have an account yet, it might be a good idea to make one on lemmy.ml as that is the one hosting the community.

As many people discovered lemmy just recently, the useraccount here probably won't have a lot of credit here. As such, you can:

Hello pietervdvn, I'd be more than happy to join you and help out, and have experience both editing OSM as well as moderating on a few different platforms
