Right next on my hack weekend tasks is try to contribute to some #OpenStreetMap android apps. Never really done any #Android dev

OK, I've managed to muddle my way through Ruby on Rails and I think I've fixed the papercut bug I had, so I've made a pull request. 🤞🏻🙂

OK, let's take my first attempt at Ruby on Rails programming. Time to try to add something to the #OpenStreetMap website code base! 🙂

Hello from the Karlsruhe #OpenStreetMap Hack Weekend!

Don't forget the to attribute #OpenStreetMap!

Over on the #OpenStreetMap reddit, someone asked about mapping buildings easier, so people are sharing tips, and how to use #JOSM's building tools plugin.

There's a biannual hack weekend in Karlsruhe this weekend. 🙂 Should be great fun, as always.

I discovered this site today: Inkatlas, looks like an easy way to get a print out of an area with #OpenStreetMap data

I've been trying to improve coastlines in #OpenStreetMap. "PGS" is a very old, low quality, coastline import from 10+ years ago. This #Overpass query will lead you to coastlines that could use attention. I remove the `source=PGS` tag when I've reviewed a coastline

[out:xml][timeout:25];( way["natural"="coastline"]["source"="PGS"]({{bbox}}); ); out meta; >; out meta qt;

A new viewer (& editor) for when/where you can park on the side of the road

I wonder about some sort of #OpenStreetMap mentoring programme? I'm willing to help new #OSM mappers in how to do OSM stuff, how to navigate around OSM. I don't have any qualifications for teaching, just OSM experience and a desire to help.
Would that be good? Should we do this?

Awesome! Looks like all the videos from State of the Map have been uploaded!
RT @sotm :
After a pause, I've continued processing and uploading the conference videos.
