(English) OpenStreetMap is a huge database, allows everybody to create maps according to their needs. OSM is made by people like you and free to use under an open license.
weeklyOSM updates the community, on a weekly basis, about what is going on in the OSM Universe. weeklyOSM is intended for everyone, from experienced mappers to new OSM members. It is created by mappers and OSM enthusiasts. Contributors to weeklyOSM in all languages are always welcome. Due to the enormous workload (52 issues per year, no vacations, no holidays) new languages can only be set up if three mappers agree to cooperate.
The idea of weeklyOSM is to collect relevant OSM news from all over the world, process it and translate it into as many languages as possible. This should help to inform the community as comprehensively as possible and overcome language barriers.
weeklyOSM is independent of all organisations and companies. This applies to OSMF, HOT, FOSSGIS … and all other companies not listed here. Nevertheless, we would be happy if our current issue (in whatever language) would appear on the start page of the Wiki on an equal footing with “Use OpenStreetMap”, “Contribute free map data” and “Software Development”. We would also like to point out that the editorial staff are not subject to OSMF supervision.
Hello,
I very much appreciate the summary that you post every week.
Could you please display a link to your RSS feed ?
Thanks a lot
Thank you for the suggestion and appreciation 🙂
“step backwards for card lovers” at the end should I suspect be “step backwards for map lovers”.
Maybe enough enough people change the automatic translation tools’ results they’ll start offering the “correct” answer 🙂
Hi Andy,
Thanks for catching this one 🙂
Nice reminder that people make mistakes too,
not only automatic tools.
