Demoday! 4 weeks of improving MapComplete with 4 students is coming to an end - with presenting our work for accessibility on MapComplete #osoc22

We have been participating in @osocode@twitter.com for the last weeks. The newest features will be presented during the demoday - and you're all invited to come!

MapComplete's main dev is at MCH - feel free to come over and to say hi (or to follow the 'OpenStreetMap for beginners' talk)

A healthcare-related map has landed as well. It features pharmacies, doctors, dentist offices and a few more POI: https://mapcomplete.osm.be/healthcare.html

Adding the opening hours and phone number of your doctor is now easier then ever.

Another really cool new feature: questions with tons of answers now have a _searchable_ field. Especially useful for e.g. shop types. BTW: the shop types are borrowed from the the iD-tagging-scheme-project. Less maintenance work for me!

Allright, the build was fi-na-lly fixed. Another really cool new theme on MapComplete is the rainbow-crossings theme: https://mapcomplete.osm.be/rainbow_crossings.html?z=12&lat=50.84995&lon=4.365348

If you ever wanted to map where those rainbow crossings are, now you can find them!

This one was requested by @anywayseu@twitter.com - we're adding a new layer on our mobility data explorer (https://www.anyways.eu/map/?view=trips) which (you guessed it) has school-home traffic. (Don't worry, we don't actually know where students live nor are we interested in that)

A major update just landed with a ton of improvements. The first one is a new theme about _educational_ features (school, universities but also kindergartens and child care): https://mapcomplete.osm.be/education

This is what happens if 4 students, myself and some other contributors go full speed... Looking forward to getting all these features in the main branch, but let's hope there aren't too much merge conflicts!

Wait - how did this happen? Already 150 followers on mastodon? This is probably a side-effect of all the FOSS-enthusiasts here.

The students of @osocode@twitter.com have been busy: they created a (first version of) a map with healthcare facilities: https://pietervdvn.github.io/mc/develop/healthcare.html

There is still quite a bit missing, but it is a start!

First three days of @osocode@twitter.com have been a blast. Intense, hectic and chaotic (as usual), but a few small new themes are already emerging... Stay tuned, they'll go live soon...

And there is another new theme which is hidden by default yet, as it is not finished. Join the MapComplete chat to get some *education* and you might be able to try it

A new version of MapComplete is online. Apart from many bugfixes, it features a new theme about maxSpeeds by @yopaseopor@twitter.com : https://mapcomplete.osm.be/maxspeed

Are you a student with programming experience, looking for an exciting job during July? We'll be doing a MapComplete-project about accessibility and still searching for students. More info at https://osoc.be/students
