Hello to all of you people of mastodon! 🤗
This is my #introduction
Here I will share stuff and links that I would like more people to know, I will also try to write some reflexions and though on my projects. I live in Normandy, France. My current topics of interests are various: #programming #bike #osm #climatechange #selfhosting #freeSoftware #linux #maps #openstreetmap #wikidata #rust #python
I speak french 🇫🇷 and english 🇬🇧 .
For all people that like to eat vegan or vegetarian, and who also like Free and OpenSource Software, and community powered projects like #OpenStreetMap and #LibReviews and Linked Data,and who are #traveling:
Have a look at #VeggieKarte, it brings the above all together.

Im August feierte #OpenStreetMap das 20-jährige Bestehen und mit Serpent OS wurde eine neue Distribution vorgestellt. Vanilla OS 2 und die erste Pop!_OS 24.04 Alpha (mit #COSMIC-Desktop) erscheinen. Debian arbeitet an einem neuen Solver und Manjaro tüftelt an einem Immutable-Ableger. uBlock Origin stellt die Chrome-Version des Addons ein, während ein Windows-Update erneut Linux Dualboot-Probleme verursacht.
I’ve pinned AfD, IIIWeg, and WerteUnion candidates with their personal data to the electoral districts and am now gathering more data. Check out the project here: https://github.com/Scobiform/farright-map\ #Brandenburg #Election #JavaScript #React #NextJS #Leaflet #OpenStreetMap
Finally finished implementing the classic 15 puzzle game but using the standard #OpenStreetMap tiles as the sliding pieces! 🗺️🧩
While there are many implementations of this game (some even let you upload your own image), as far as I know, not one directly uses OSM slippy map tiles for the pieces. I figured this would be a nifty side coding project and it was fun to do! 💪
Currently you can play any of 20 map locations. Enjoy! 🎉
I'm trying to #crowdfund ₹20k (~€224 or ~$237) by the 20th of December, to add
~350 POIs (shop, restaurants, healthcare, etc)
~150 building levels,
shop phone numbers,
shop addresses,
named commercial and apartment areas,
and much more to #OpenStreetMap in the city of #Mumbai, #India.

(I've been an OSM contributor since 2016, and this is my latest attempt at turning it into a full-time job.)
We will also ask mappers from overseas.
When the name suggestion index is more inappropriate than the current value (recommending the deletion of information that is not incorrect), is there a way to submit an opinion to the database so that this suggestion is not issued?
#openstreetmap
Super cool use of #OpenStreetMap in the wild on trail junction markers - the QR code opens the trail marker in #OSM so you can see exactly where you are.
Here's a complete guide to boycotting Google Maps: https://boycottusanow.wordpress.com/2025/02/11/boycott-google-maps-here-are-the-alternatives/
TLDR: Replace Google with Organic Maps and Mapcarta. Contribute to #OpenStreetMap by using fun and gamified app StreetComplete!

#Introduction (l'était temps !😀)
Ici depuis 2020, vous trouverez là beaucoup de repouets et de contenu autour d'OpenStreetMap🌍, Panoramax📷 (GoPro Max) et la cartographie🗺️ en général.
Je suis aussi utilisateur heureux de l'anneau contraceptif ⭕Andro-switch et promeut son usage et sa certification (➡️ coopérative Entrelac).
J'aime tout l'internet qui bidouille et j'ai une passion honteuse pour les YouTube Poop🤪 .

#OpenStreetMap #OSM
every country that doesn't call itself America should support #openstreetmap
The #OpenStreetMap Wiki wiki.openstreetmap.org is currently unavailable due to planned upgrade maintenance. We'll have it back online as soon as possible - thank you for your patience!
UPDATE 20:00 (UTC): The upgrade of the wiki is taking longer than anticipated.
Next #OpenStreetMap Map Night for #SaltLakeCity tomorrow at Woodbine Food Hall! All are welcome. https://osmutah.org/our-map-nights/ See you soon!
someone pointed me to the #utah #openstreetmap conventions, but looking at it just makes me want to move

There's been talk on the Fedi about why online maps like OSM and Google use the Mercator projection, and I think it needs a bit of clarification. (Do NOT snitch tag.)
Online maps are _mostly_ used at small scales, of a district or a city. At these scales, the earth is approximately flat, so users expect a map that is _conformal_, one that preserves angles and shapes.
Online maps are continuously zoomable from continents down to your house. They usually aren't rendered on your browser straight from vectors, but are batch-rendered offline into square tile images. If you're on a slowish Internet connection, you can see them loading individually.
As you zoom an online map, tiles get replaced with higher-resolution ones, and as you scroll, tiles get filled in to fill the gaps. You could theoretically scroll and zoom forever, so the map needs to not have a magically special reference latitude or longitude. These constrains mean that the map needs to be _equatorial_, so that no point gets special treatment, and _cylindrical_, so that meridians are vertical and lines of latitude are horizontal.
And which is the map projection that is all of equatorial, cylindrical and conformal? Mercator!
