What I did in OpenStreetMap in September 2022

Maps & Hacking
- I did some hacking & made some maps, see:
  - “Very Fast Money Withdrawl. Distance to the nearest bank for every weapon shop.” 🐦 🐘
  - “The worst night club for a durty take away after chucking out time: Distance to the nearest fast food place for every nightclub” 🐦 🐘
  - Made a map of distance from thatch building to nearest fire hydrant. twitter post🐦, 🐘
  - To do this, I “needed” to create a new tool/script. It’s osm-distance-to-nearest and available on GitHub. You can make maps like this. 🐦 🐘
- Analyzing OSM changeset data, and found weirdly empty changeset tags. 🐦 🐘
Inspired by a community member, I asked osmose if they want to get on the en.osm.town fediverse.
- Remember folks, in OSM, no-one is coming to save you, we have to save ourselves.
I tried to make DALL-E generate some OSM images, 🐦
OSMF Board
- Trademarks
  - Emailed several event organisers, to organise trademark licences for their regional State of the Maps.
  - Replied to one organizer, that as a local chapter they don’t need a speical licence (it’s included in the Local Chapters Agreement)
- Local Chapters minor beurocracy for 2 potential LCs
- I checked that the same person is OK with doing the questions for the Board AGM
