I very much agree with @simon’s observation: @developmentseed uses a lot of @openstreetmap data in their projects (heck, their profile states “winning with open data” and their offshoot company #Mapbox was built on OSM), but #DevelopmentSeed chose to become a Contributor Member of #OvertureMaps but notably is *not* a corporate member of the #OpenStreetMap Foundation.

I am kinda tired of companies taking OSM for granted.

Awesome! Brian Sperlongano (ZeLonewolf) has published a new #Firefox extension that modifies #OpenStreetMap object web pages to display human-readable info related to #Wikidata tags. Now in addition to the opaque QIDs, you get to see the actual item label and a link to corresponding #Wikipedia article if any!

There's also a Chrome extension: chrome.google.com/webstore/det

#30DayMapChallenge 🗺️ Day 2️⃣4️⃣: Black and white

(Just about caught up!) 😅

I guess I’m either being too literal or too cheeky with this map, but here we have a two-part image showing the Black Sea (colored in black with land areas in white) and the White Sea (colored in white with land areas in black) both drawn to the same scale (i.e., #UTM zone 37N).

All geographic data (coastlines, lakes, cities) come from #NaturalEarth’s 1:10m vectors, rendered in #QGIS , and combined in #GIMP.

P.S. This makes me wonder if I can make a hi-res colored poster that also includes the Yellow Sea in yellow and the Red Sea in red and see how it would turn out and if it’s something that would look great on a wall. 🤔

#30DayMapChallenge 🗺️ Day 3️⃣: Polygons

Here are the world’s time zones rendered in my favorite #CahillConcialdi projection. Each zone is colored based on its offset from UTC mapped to the color spectrum 🌈. If a region observes daylight saving, the color is based on the average of the summer and winter time.

This is inspired by a similar map created by Emīls Rode and Oskars Weilands for the Dymax Redux competition organized by the Buckminster Fuller Institute in 2013: mapsontheweb.zoom-maps.com/pos

To celebrate #OpenStreetMap’s 19th anniversary today, the OSM Foundation has just launched a new “Supporting” website where you can support the project by either donating some money or joining as a normal or corporate member of the Foundation.

supporting.openstreetmap.org/

P.S. I’m not involved in this new website; just a messenger.

P.P.S. This new website replaces the old “Donate” and “Join” websites which now redirect to this new website.

P.P.P.S. I see some bugs/issues with the new website.

@seav yeah, it seems like there's something weird going on with the civicrm oauth? And CORS issues with join.openstreetmap.org vs supporting.openstreetmap.org?
