> Community
- [1] @riiga#7118, on the OSM World Discord, showed JOSM running on their Steam Deck Game Console: ‘No matter the device, no matter the place: mapping first, and with JOSM of course’. Original post (Discord login required.)
- Based on the OSM Community Index, Who Maps Where (WMW) allows one to search for a mapper with local knowledge anywhere in the world. If you’re okay with your area of local knowledge being shown on the map, the project’s README on GitHub describes how that works.
- qeef shared his view that communication within the HOT Tasking Manager is wrong because it duplicates OSM functionality.
OpenStreetMap Foundation
- Guillaume Rischard noted, on Twitter, a blog post from Fastly about how the OpenStreetMap Operations team is using the Fastly (CDN) to ‘provide updates in near real-time’.
Education
- unen’s latest diary entry continued his reflections on the discussions at his weekly help desk sessions for the HOT Open Mapping Hub Asia-Pacific. He invited people to provide contact details to be informed of future discussion agendas. Issues from recent weeks included accessing older versions of OSM data, and participants’ problems with remote control issues of JOSM.

- Valentin Socha tweeted screen captures from 1993 France weather reports, where weekly forecasts were shown on a cut-out map with a letter for each day.
