Myths associated with car-oriented road planning and management should be exposed and challenged, especially because most Filipinos don’t have cars. Below are five myths that have contributed to the poor mobility environment in many Philippine cities. https://www.manilatimes.net/2021/03/06/business/columnists-business/myths-about-roads-and-mobility/847847/
Erratum. Re contributions by known organized editing teams. Apparently, #resultmaps was on maintenance mode earlier.
The ratio of OET contributors to other mappers are: 33/50, 76/100, 146/200, and 318/500 - a bump up from the previous month.
Happy #OpenDataDay !
Here's how the #OpenStreetMap fared in the #Philippines last February: total map edits went up with fewer contributors. Historically, the first quarter is the slowest part of the year.
According to data 43/50, and 93/100 top contributors are with organized editing teams

Sharing road space with pedestrians and cyclists, especially on major roads, will deliver health, mobility and environmental benefits for all Filipinos, even for the small minority in cars. No better time than now. https://www.manilatimes.net/2021/02/27/business/columnists-business/why-car-users-should-welcome-bike-lanes/845803/
A few days ahead of celebrating #OpenDataDay, we're pleased to share with the OSM community that city government of #Mandaue in #Cebu #Philippines agreed to collaborate and share their biking related-datasets to the #OpenStreetMap community.
Daghang salamat, #IamMandaue
@fdroidorg@twitter.com You know it would be really nice if @fdroidorg@twitter.com would simply stop distributing a very old beta version with numerous issues andgering users, us and making a really bad impression.
#MagicEarth really is one of the best apps that uses / showcases #OpenStreetMap data. They've been very successful in staying under the radar. 😅

I'm of course struggling to switch fully Google Maps -> @openstreetmap, though Magic Earth app helps.
I use ProtonVPN and slowly will switch to @ProtonMail.
I've switched to @DuckDuckGo for search.
Tried @signalapp but prefer @telegram
What other transitions can I make?

An important section in the New #geospatial #Policy for which I was very vocal all these years. Thank @IndiaDST for bringing it in the policy. @girishk_soi

First @openstreetmap workshop with the @NTUsg students was really fun! Lots of interesting questions from them as well! Looking forward to the Part 2! 😉

#OpenStreetMap user JesseAKARaccoon seems pretty happy using #OpenCamera + mapillary_tools (with termux) python tools for uploading street-level imagery to #Mapillary
This trip down the rabbit hole 😁 started with their dissatisfaction of the official Mapillary app, not supporting the phone's wide angle lens.

They seem to be keen on working with mobile OSM tools: #Vespucci and #StreetComplete
The school mapping project on #OpenStreetMap in the #Philippines is doing amazing progress in the last 3 weeks - over 100 schools added daily! 💥
Thanks to #OSMaPaaralan mappers, we're now down to the last 35% of pending tasks and hope we'd nail it this year! 😀
Spare a few minutes to add a few more schools today, and help improve foundational #OpenStreetMap geodata.
Check out the #MapRoulette task: maproulette.org/browse/challenges/9413
#OpenStreetMap contributors in the #Philippines started out strong for 2021. 🎉
January's total edits increased while total editors moved the opposite way, compared to December 2020 -- meaning, less people are editing more. 😉
~84% of the 54,870 changes recorded in January were made by top 50 user accounts, 81% of which are identified with organized editing projects.
How has OSM editing profiles changed in your region?

Melbourne archaeologists love the gold rush era Bibbs map & its colour-coded buildings. There's two known copies of the plan, held by PROV & the Melbourne City Council. Barbara Minchinton unravels the mystery of who made it, when & why: http://ow.ly/gqwC50CVSCd @cityofmelbourne

Using #WebODM and random YouTube drone video to generate pointclouds is fun. I'm amazed at how well it works with so little effort.
Can it be better, well yes, but... damn!
We are a social advocacy project that organises geo/map-py events; designs & implements training workshops, generates #tech4good awareness, actively pledges open data sets, as we vivify diverse volunteers to vitalize map-py local communities across the Philippines.
