OpenStreetMap Foundation 2022 chairperson's report

Thank you, Guillaume, for your continued good efforts and for this interesting read.

How OSM stopped me from caring for the defibrillators.

I’m curious as to what counts as mapping an AED perfectly means to you, and how that relates to other mappers’ ideas of mapping an AED perfectly.

There should be a way to standardise this, so not everyone has to have a different opinion on what it means to “map an AED perfectly”.

Addresses in Whitman County, Washington

That sounds like a productive project! Are the addresses perhaps good enough to import, or is manual review a necessity?

tidying of site_type values

I do this sort of cleanup all the time. Thank you for taking up this one. I’m sure that your expertise with historic sites is valuable here.

Russian Annex Ukraine

No one is going to change the border while the war is still going on. You can try of course, but I’m sure the Data Working Group will have something to say about that.

Russian Annex Ukraine

The request from the Ukrainian OSM community to not map in Ukraine during the war is still valid: osm.wiki/Russian%E2%80%93Ukrainian_war

Learning how this works

A warm welcome to OpenStreetMap!

To start your journey here, I recommend our beginner’s guide.

In the contact channels you can find your local community or you can join an international group of mappers.

Also browse the map features to see the kinds of things we map, and read the good practice to learn the dos and don’ts of mapping.
