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: openstreetmap.org/user/Stereo/

(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.)

Finally finished implementing the classic 15 puzzle game but using the standard #OpenStreetMap tiles as the sliding pieces! 🗺️🧩

While there are many implementations of this game (some even let you upload your own image), as far as I know, not one directly uses OSM slippy map tiles for the pieces. I figured this would be a nifty side coding project and it was fun to do! 💪

Currently you can play any of 20 map locations. Enjoy! 🎉

@seav Wow, all the feels from my childhood! Very cool!

@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

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.

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.

Two-part black and white poster depicting a map of the Black Sea in black on the top half of the image and the White Sea in white on the bottom half. Both seas are depicted in the same scale with some salient physical features labeled such as the Sea of Azov and Crimea in the Black Sea and the Kola Peninsula to the north of the White Sea and its constituent bays. Dotted around the maps of the seas are the locations with labels of major cities and settlements such as Istanbul, Sevastopol, Odessa, Archangel, and Murmansk.

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?
