No #CopyRight is my goal. While we use #CopyLeft and the ODbL to further #OpenData, it's fun to think of a world where we completely rejected the idea of ownership and what #OSM would be like.

So one of the #SOTM2021 talks was about pedestrian data. I add sidewalks via #StreetComplete all the time, but I've just realised how much faster it is to add via #JOSM and Overpass with the great Bing imagery here.
I did a couple towns really quickly, I think I'm gonna keep doing it.
New #OSM UK Quarterly Project: Tourism. Mapping camp sites, hotels, train stations and everything else useful for tourists. #UKQP

So I did a diff on the Primark website, about a week ago vs today. It showed 1 less store. I made a note and a local mapper confirmed it had gone and removed it.
Anyone here render #OSM? I want the a single png, with the equivalent of like z22 on a small residential area, some input on label locations, and rotated "upside down".
Recycling centres in the UK have been getting some much needed love over the last few days. #OSM
Being ignorant, bowls is often played by older people, and OSM is quite technical. I'd have assumed the overlap isn't that big.
Although #OSM does seem to have an older audience than other tech projects.
#OSM UK has some MapRoulette challenges to help with the current Quarterly Project
It is absolutely amazing that all the big consumers tech companies consume and contribute to #OpenStreetMap we need to encourage there involvement.
To compare #OSM to #Linux again. Linux is the open kernel that has a lot of corporate use, involvement and financial support. #GNU #Hurd is the open kernel without corporate involvement.
I don't want to contribute to libre kernel that nobody uses, I want to work on the libre kernel that EVERYONE uses.
OSM isn't just #OpenData it's usable Open Data
Busy month, but I'm most excited about the combination of UPRN and #OSM.

I'm now part of #OSM UK. Terrified but excited
AddressBase have a very hostile copyright structure, and a massive pay to play barrier. But #OSM could create a alternative for the people, by the people. It's not going to happen anytime soon, but it's inevitable.
The OS Open UPRN is a annoyingly gimped dataset, but it's actually turned out to be incredibly helpful helpful at spotting errors in #OSM. Plus it might be our back door into AdressBase 🤫
#OSM UK is targeting defibs, let's get them added.
The record that keeps getting beaten. 7803 mappers edited #OSM on 2020-09-24!
In case you've not heard, I'm a little obsessed with #OpenStreetMap. I also ❤️ free software.
