I am honored to have participated in the 2024 Climate Change Challenge as a member of “𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑷𝒊𝒏 𝑫𝒓𝒐𝒑𝒑𝒆𝒓𝒔”. This challenge, organized by the Open Mapping Hub - Asia Pacific from May 20 to June 20, 2024, brought together over 200 participants from 54 teams to address climate change through collaborative open mapping efforts. I am grateful for the opportunity to contribute my mapping skills alongside so many passionate individuals, and I am proud to have received the Certificate of Participation. It’s inspiring to see how open mapping can make a real impact on global climate action.

The Discovery

Today was a big milestone for me as an OpenStreetMap (OSM) contributor—I submitted my first-ever bug report! 🎉

• While exploring the iD Editor, I stumbled upon something odd. When the “Quality Assurance” tab in the Help section is open, the “Keyboard Shortcuts” option becomes unclickable. Strange, right? What’s even more curious is that this doesn’t happen with any other Help tab—just this one. Naturally, I couldn’t let it go unnoticed.

---

The Process

Here’s what I did step-by-step:

1. I opened the Help section and navigated through different tabs to test the behavior.

2. As expected, all the other tabs worked fine, but when “Quality Assurance” was active, the “Keyboard Shortcuts” button refused to work.

3. To make sure my findings were clear, I documented:

   • Steps to reproduce the issue.
   • What I expected to happen versus what actually happened.
   • Screenshots to visually explain the problem.

---

The Submission

Feeling a little nervous, I finally submitted my findings as Issue #10573 on GitHub. To my surprise, within hours, one of the repository maintainer (@tyrasd) confirmed the issue!

Here’s the coolest twist: The issue behaves differently in other languages! For example, it doesn’t happen in the Italian locale. This insight gave me a new appreciation for the complexity of building tools that work seamlessly across different environments.

---

The Reflection

This may seem like a small contribution, but to me, it feels huge. By reporting this bug, I’ve left my little mark on a platform I admire so much. It’s exciting to know that even small actions like this help improve the tools that people worldwide rely on every day.

The OSM community is incredibly welcoming, and this experience reminded me that even as a beginner, my efforts are valued.

Santarém To Belém - We Ran Out Of River

Daybreak on our last full day on the river could hardly have been more depressing. The sky I could see from my hammock was a grey-brown colour, and the smell of burning wood was stronger than ever. We were in the middle of the river and there was very little visibility. It hardly even makes It into the news headlines any more, our ability to adapt to the mess we have created means that relatively few people are aware of just how serious the situation is as Amazonía burns.

Fortunately we were not going to spend all of the last leg with the smog. Slowly the sky started to clear, and things seemed better again. The forest on either side even looked a bit more like It had in the upper part of the river.

About 2 days ago, the map started to be darkened. This only occurs on Firefox and Chrome, and it appears to be caused by the browser’s light/dark settings. I am still not certain about the cause.

Разговоры о том, чего не хватает в OSM, это уже давно моветон, темка склизская, и попахивающая прокрастинацией. И всё же, декабрь - месяц ожиданий, надежд, и загадывания желаний, так что надеюсь читатель простит мой сентимент.

Итак, начнем с расширения наименований.

В OSM принято вносить в name= имена собственные, и во многих случаях, мы же вынуждены нарушать это правило, внося и name что то вроде “Москва река”, “Собачий пруд”, “ Парк Дубки”, “Строительство дороги Москва - Петушки”, “Детский сад Умка”, или “ГБОУ Школа №1234”. Схема получается противоречивая, генерирующая довольно грязные данные. Было бы правильно, разделять описание сущности объекта, и его имя собственное. Разделять можно двумя способами.

1- Добавить отдельный атрибут для сущностной части. Получаем:

name:type=Детский сад name=Умка

2- Вводить всё в name, но разделяя специальными символами, например так name=[Детский сад]<Умка>

Мне могут возразить, что всё это уже есть, ведь leisure=park, или water=pond, и выполняет эту задачу, описывая сущность объекта. Но нет, наших схем тэгирования не всегда хватает для красивого и правильного составления названия. Может быть, было бы лучше расширить схему наименования, для того, что бы не зависеть от костных и ограниченных существующих схем.

On the first day of every month, I run a manual monthly statistics script to calculate which Wikipedia article is the most active.

Today, while analyzing this month’s statistics logs, I came across an interesting article.

The Last Boat - Santarém To Belém

Another early start, the day had come for getting on our last boat, the one that would take us to Belém. It wasn’t a promising start, I opened the window in the hotel and the smell of wood smoke was stronger than on any other day here. With limited visibility over the river.

We walked down to the port to find that the boat was already there. The Amazon Star had come down quite full from Manaus and this time we weren’t going to be lucky with our choice of hammock position. It was more a question of finding any free position, which we managed somehow with hammock ropes almost crossing.

Despite the grand sounding name the Amazon Star is a fairly basic boat, we had been spoiled a bit with our boat to Santarem. But It had an open space upstairs and a well stocked bar. The only things that let us down were the views of the river, the smog caused by fires was to be with us for some time to come.

Alter do Chão

So we found something to do with our extra day in Santarém. The Guardian published an article in 2009 on the 10 best beaches in Brazil and there at number 1 is Alter do Chão. This qualifies It as a ‘hidden gem’ which these days means that only 50 million people know about It.

The bus from Santarém to Alter do Chão takes about an hour, and dropped us off just a couple of minutes from the beach. White sands, sparkling river wáter, with forest in the background - It is a beautiful place although I’m not convinced It will be the most beautiful in all of Brazil.

It was quiet too, most of the bars and restaurants on the beach were closed. Clearly not peak season. But the one place that was operating still did good business serving drinks and food to tables that are placed in the water a couple of metres off the beach.

خطوة للأمام مع أبرز رواد الاعمال الكويتيين لمستقبل الذكاء الصناعي في hashtag#الكويت

Setiap akhir tahun biasanya banyak diadakan kegiatan pemilihan putra putri/bujang gadis dari masing-masing kampus. Awal mula terbentuk Bujang Gadis Kesehatan PGRI berawal dari fenomena pandemi Covid-19 yang menjadi tantangan besar bagi warga Indonesia bahkan hingga di penghujung tahun 2020. Pada kesempatan kali ini, saya berkesempatan berkenalan dan belajar bersama 30 finalis Bujang Gadis Kesehatan PGRI Palembang. Para finalis berasal dari beberapa jurusan tidak hanya dari jurusan kesehatan, namun juga berasal dari teknik, manajemen, sosial dan lain sebagainya.

Peta sangat bermanfaat dalam kehidupan sehari-hari, peta dapat membantu kita menuju lokasi yang diinginkan. Peta memuat informasi seperti titik koordinat, menentukan arah, jarak, luas, bentuk permukaan bumi, fenomena alam, serta pola sebaran bahkan informasi untuk penelitian. Diawali dengan perkenalan terkait peta, openstreetmap, dan dilanjutkan dengan project kolaborasi apa saja yang biasa dilakukan, serta kesempatan di masa depa.

Aplikasi pemetaan yang paling familiar digunakan dalam kegiatan sehari-hari adalah Google Map. Google Map biasa kita gunakan untuk mengetahui lokasi dan arah dari suatu tempat. Selain itu, kita bisa menggunakan ArcGIS, QGIS atau Openstreetmap (OSM) untuk memproses informasi dalam peta. Aplikasi pemetaan dapat diakses secara gratis dan berbayar. Bagi mahasiswa, OSM memiliki berbagai keuntungan karena gratis, tidak rumit bagi pemula, dan open source.
