What I did in OpenStreetMap in August 2022
Posted by amapanda ᚛ᚐᚋᚐᚅᚇᚐ᚜ 🏳️🌈 on 19 October 2022 in English. Last updated on 8 November 2022.- Mapping
- Keep up the regular mapping around the place, and while at SotM
- I wish people would stop adding new
man_madetags. #
- I posted about my State of the Map 2022, which used up most of my mental OSM energy for August.
- OSMF Board
- Some suggestions for SotM 2023 generated some board ⇄ sotm wg emails. (I tried to do the right thing and CC the right people while communicating. This policy was adopted by the Board last year. The board member who claimed the board supported the CM bid didn’t tell the rest of the board of this).
- Local Chapters
- At SotM, apparently 2 groups asked a fellow board member about becoming a local chapter for Nigeria & Eritrea.
- I got their contact details and started reaching out to them to start the process
- Board Meeting
- I attended the Aug 2022 Board meeting
- I did plan to schedule an AB meeting with corp. memb.
- also attended the Aug 2022 mid month chat, there was discussion about
- odbl-only imports
- prep for SotM 2022 (osmf stand, board AMA)
- whether monthly reports from pers. comm. were needed (probably not)
- I attended the Aug 2022 Board meeting
(sorry if i’m missing some details, I’m trying to finish this)

Nice work, and nice summary.
I also agree that man_made should stop being used, which looks like a needless shortening of human_made. Artificial is more relatable, and also includes cases of extraterrestrial_made :P
