 I wasn’t able to attend the #OpenStreetMap Foundation AGM last night because I had a whole-day affair and the AGM started at midnight my time, but I found the Chair’s less-than-positive report by @grischard, um, interesting: https://www.openstreetmap.org/user/Stereo/diary/405356 (I also know that an outgoing [unnamed, but it’s not hard to find if you know where to look] Board member has already posted their thoughts on Mastodon, LinkedIn, and Facebook hinting at the problem.)

@seav fun challenge : give the ability to zoom in the map and the tiles accordingly change, even if they are mixed.  @seav There's a @qgis easter-egg that turns the map panel into a shuffle game if you type 'bored' in the coordinate bar. It renders whatever is visible on the map into 15 pieces. So placing the OSM slippy map gets something similar, though tiling is generated based on map bounds, not the slippy map tiles. yes, it's playable I finally processed and then uploaded this 1875 map (annotated in 1902) of the #Philippines 🇵🇭 to #WikimediaCommons. 1/3 This map is the one that is now being championed by retired Supreme Court Justice #AntonioCarpio alongside the 1734 Pedro Murillo Velarde map to bolster the territorial claims of the #Philippines over Scarborough Shoal and the Kalayaan Islands. The map was first published by the Direccíon de Hidrografía (Hydrography Directorate) of #Spain 🇪🇸 in 1875 and then republished by the #UnitedStates 🇺🇸 War Department in 1902 with annotated telegraph and cable lines. 2/3  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. #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. 🤔  @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? |
