You could make a Korean bid to host State of the Map or State of the Map Asia.

Is there a demonstration site built with Atlas?

Much as you might want to stick it to Trump, Orban or Netanyahu we have a map of the whole world here and should be doing our best to deliver it. The same goes for cancelling Volodymyr Zelensky, William Rufo, Friedrich Merz, Vladimir Putin, Emmanuel Macron, Mark Carney, Paul Biya, Bongbong Marcos or Keir Starmer. If anyone ever targets OSM directly we should do something that concentrates on keeping our database uncompromised.

Someone above talked about the Free Software Foundation. Even though the restrictions in the GPL have always been more focused than this omnicause-powered proposal the FSF got into a deep mess when they revised the GPL2 into the GPL3.

Would a place like osm.org/go/zgvcK64ol- in India where the imagery in the editor shows a village but there is no place named in OSM remain unflagged by this?

Regarding the New Forest, a web search led me to https://www.verderers.org.uk/information-for-solicitors/ and then to http://www.verderers.org.uk/app/uploads/2019/10/Commons-Registration-Act-1965-the-New-Forest.pdf, which refers to an access land boundary differing from the national park boundary that is in OSM, but could be useful in addition if we can find it. The reference to the perambulation on older maps may include some now available on the NLS site:the 1966 map of the New Forest and the 1971 editions of one-inch-to-the mile maps 179 and 180.

OpenStreetMap is a map of the whole world and its diversity is better for including Africans and the map of Africa that they create.

You still don’t get it, do you? You’ve persuaded the other mappers to react with extreme negativity towards the Major Traffic Network when they might have taken it more seriously , because they associate it with your antics.

When youʼre in a hole stop digging.

Another thing you could try if there are separate entrances is to put addresses on each entrance, for instance osm.org/#map=19/51.45291/-0.19706.

If you think mapping has been imported from Google, add a comment to the changeset asking about the origin and tell the Data Working Group.

I would agree that governance isn’t a matter that the EWG should be tackling but there may be issues more in the EWG’s remit that are relevant.

Perhaps it would be better for OSM to actively support the development of alternative general purpose map styles (an alternative being the iD option of changing the maintainer to someone more cooperative).

As a British mapper I’ve got into StreetComplete recently and I’ve found it something that I can use when I’m taking walks and also to fill in after tracing buildings from aerial imagery. I’ve come to share your enthusiasm.

Our virtual conference later this week has a talk about searching addresses. You can either watch live or a recording later if the time doesn’t suit you.

What happened in Massachusetts and Maryland?

I wonder if the imagery change could be a bad move. JOSM’s whole imagery subsystem has a whiff of not-invented-here by some core developers; this reveals itself both in some quite unpleasant comments about other programs’ layer indexing but also in a clunky interface that makes it hard to get to non-internationally mainstream imagery when iD just pops up a menu of locally available choices and also renders zoomed-in imagery much more crudely when it does at all.

Two Canadian spams in a row

That is what I routinely do when I add websites displayed on shops, I also try to find the page for the branch.
