OpenStreetMap Updates

The time has come: On September 30th, the old OSM forum and possibly also the mailing list will be retired and replaced by the new “OSM communities”: https://community.openstreetmap.org/c/communities/at/59

The OSM Communities are a kind of modern web forum with simple options for awarding (+1), creating polls, for discussions in sub-threads or simply for linear conversations - as before.

A short description of the new forum “OSM-Communities” can be found in a post within the forum itself: https://community.openstreetmap.org/t/uber-die-kategorie-osterreich-austria/3058

The OSMF (OpenStreetMap Foundation) is providing a questionnaire about its past and future activities. This is a great opportunity to get involved in the direction of OSM with little effort. All mappers are invited to participate! The questionnaire is open for responses until Sunday, February 14, 2021.

There is even a German-language version available: https://osmf.limequery.org/281662?lang=de

Are you an OpenStreetMap Foundation member? Then you can (and should) still take part in the OSMF board election 2020 until Saturday (12.12.2020)! If you don’t know what the individual candidates stand for, you can read a Q&A of each candidate on this page: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Foundation/AGM20/Election_to_Board/Answers_and_manifestos

Every person entitled to vote should have received an email from the OSMF with the link to the vote.
