Earlier this month @jfrog@twitter.com dropped this bomb https://jfrog.com/blog/into-the-sunset-bintray-jcenter-gocenter-and-chartcenter/ seems they didn't consider it important enough to send an e-mail to their users (and being on vacation I wasn't following other sources so closely). ...
Morgen Abend ist wieder das monatliche OSM-Treffen Zürich (Stammtisch) ab 18:30. Mann/Frau trifft sich virtuell und redet meist über #OpenStreetMap (#OSM).

@vecirex@twitter.com @AnBuKu@twitter.com @SwissOSM@twitter.com @swisstopo@twitter.com @SchulclusterCH@twitter.com Aber wie @thepacki@twitter.com schon getwittert hat: alle Schulen überprüfen, d.h. mindestens amenity=school für die Schulanlage mit den relevanten ISCED Einteilungen, wäre eine schöne #openstreetmap Monatsaufgabe die eigentlich gar keine Drittquellen braucht.

@OpenHistMap@twitter.com @penorman@twitter.com Well because it isn't (a license with attribution as the only requirement). Directly from the horses mouth https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ see "No additional restrictions" which contrary to what you could naively think, actually adds restrictions.

Dinner discussion with my daughter (11) on the virtue of using paragraphs to structure your thoughts and making your texts easy to read
I should do the same with the #openstreetmap contributors that use the uninterrupted wall of text approach to not getting their point across.

This year marks the 30th anniversary of the CHUUG (now @CH_Open@twitter.com) , Patrik and myself founding #EUnet Switzerland. 1st a desk in a shared office on Viktoriastrasse in Oerlikon, then, same year, a very lucky (because lots of phone lines) move to Zweierstrasse 35 in Zürich.

In that vein, prepping for an interview today, I found our price list from mid 1992. "slightly" expensive by today's standards

1st time, and likely last time: submitted an error report to @googlemaps@twitter.com today, after receiving a phone call from a senior citizen with no Internet access after hearing https://twitter.com/roman_hae/status/1346612527157936131 about #openstreetmap on the radio. ...

>10x increase in new contributors influx yesterday in Switzerland. that is 80 vs. avg. 4 per day (2020). Fair to assume that this is due to the #openstreetmap coverage by @SRF@twitter.com https://www.srf.ch/news/allgemeines/digitale-karten-open-street-map-laesst-google-in-vielen-bereichen-alt-aussehen

Working on a new release of https://github.com/simonpoole/OpeningHoursParser which is used in @vespucci_editor@twitter.com @josmeditor@twitter.com @StreetComplete@twitter.com and more #openstreetmap things.
The new release will be (in non-strict mode) a bit more lenient when parsing time values, which raises a couple of questions ....

Our traditional January 1st #openstreetmap municipality border sprint just finished https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Switzerland/2021_Municipality_Mergers more work than the last couple of years, but more people pitching in too.
Special thanks to @LoremoCH@twitter.com for organizing.

Not quite unexpected geocoding fail if you use rough borders. Delivery service refusing to take our order because we are on the wrong side of the border (hacked around by giving our neighbours address). I suppose I should have pointed out that they should use #openstreetmap

If you are using Bing imagery together with 15.0 or .1 you should be aware of https://github.com/MarcusWolschon/osmeditor4android/issues/1310 is fixed in the next maintenance release.
It also shows that a good bug report gets, even fairly obscure, issues fixed, contrary to simply moaning on the play store.

"The nice thing about standards is that you have so many to choose from" I've been working on https://github.com/MarcusWolschon/osmeditor4android/issues/1196 @vespucci_editor@twitter.com now supports #openstreetmap API format, @josmeditor@twitter.com and @osmandapp@twitter.com Notes files import. While I'm at it, any other formats that we should support?
