If you want to support the #TurkeyEarthquake response with mapping, there is a list of projects available for contribution on the tasking manager, here:
#osm
By searching for an #iOS version of #streetComplete, the famous #openstreetmap easy-to-contribute tool, I'm discovering MapComplete https://mapcomplete.osm.be by pietervdvn and it is amazing.
Introduction video here: https://media.ccc.de/v/sotm2021-9448-introduction-and-review-of-mapcomplete#t=108

OK, the UI has to be improved, I will see if I can help with that.
Here we Go
In my further attempt to de-google-fy I was searching for a good GPS app alternative.
I previously used OsmAnd, but it sent me to strange locations. Feel free to comment, if you think this is a good app for you.
It is free software/opensource, so I do think it is preferably when it does work.
So I was looking around and found Here we Go. It is not free software/opensource, was first develloped by Nokia, it is European and should be privacy friendly according to a privacy report I found (from 2018). It also mentions Diaspora and Signal as being privacy friendly, so that is some reference.
It has offline maps, traffic updates and a nice interface.
Feel free to comment on what you think or if you tested it as well.

Kennt Ihr eigentlich #OrganicMaps? Eine #Navigation-Software für Fuss, Rad und Auto auf #OSM Basis und #OpenSource.
Bei mir hat das Magic Earth (ebenfalls OSM aber kein OpenSource) ersetzt.
Danke @OrganicMapsApp ❤️ #foss

Why aren't vecor-tiles the default for openstreetmaps? This website is so much better than the normal openstreetmaps: https://www.arcgis.com/apps/View/index.html?appid=d6b18a2e774c4959ba855f6ac90952a2
It's fast, supercrisp and looks amazing.
In no particular order, web sites like OpenStreetMap, Wikipedia, Archive.Org, Sci-Hub, tools like I2P, Tor, IRC, GPG, OMEMO, OTR, and open and federated protocols like Jabber, Email, Diaspora and ActivityPub are the most important projects on the internet and should be protected and exalted.

So I am reading this list and I don't find anything about getting OSM data from JS directly. Is this not a wanted behaviour, to talk to the API from the client ? https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Frameworks
Does anybody have knowledge about #openstreetmap data related to #climbing ? For example, this is a gym: https://www.openstreetmap.org/way/56016849 and this is a cliff: https://www.openstreetmap.org/node/3718329581
I would like to know what properties could be attached to this kind of nodes, how is #osm modelling this kind of data... I know basically nothing about the OSM universe but I would love to play with it a bit.
This month is the 17th birthday of OpenStreetMap (OSM), a community-owned collaborative geographic database of the world
This cool database was inspired by the success of Wikipedia and the (rather annoying) predominance of proprietary map data. With over two million registered users and growing, many collect and provide data from GPS devices or local knowledge of the mapping area. OSM also has established a model for non-governmental organizations to collaborate with international organizations. A notable example of this, during the 2010 Haiti earthquake, OSM and Crisis Common volunteers using available satellite imagery to map the roads, buildings, and refugee camps of Port-au-Prince in just two days built the most complete digital map of Haiti's roads. This is known as Crisis mapping and is a real-time way to have people contribute and create situational awareness of the surroundings for the citizens and any humanitarian aid groups.
You can do your bit too by checking your local area and submitting updates and changes.

Est-ce que vous connaissez les tags de OpenStreetMap pour la représentation des bâtiments en 3D ? https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/FR:B%C3%A2timents_3D_simples
Avec quelques tags simples, le rendu 3D devient très vite plus sympa. Deux exemples ci-dessous de quelques immeubles et maisons où j'ai rajouté ces tags, vues avec OSM Building et F4map.
Pas sûr que ce soit ni trop la saison ni trop dans le contexte — ouais, bon OK, pas vraiment très utile, quoi 😅 — mais j'ai créé cette carte des #skateparks de France : https://umap.openstreetmap.fr/fr/map/skateparks-de-france_516139
