Events

  • Since the 80s the Association of “Friends of the Gardens of La Oliva” has planted more than 300 trees (species from all over the world) in the common areas of the District of La Oliva in Sevilla. On Saturday, 19th December OSM mappers will help to map the unique species of this “public garden” of La Oliva. The aim is to create an online botanical atlas.

Humanitarian OSM

  • User dekstop asks “Should we teach JOSM to first-time mapathon attendees?”.

Open Data

  • The municipality of SãoPaulo, the largest city in Latin America, announced on Twitter that the building cadastre is available within 30 days in Geosampa.
  • Since Wednesday, December 09 2015, the South Tyrolean Open Data Portal is online. Many of the records are available under the CC-0.
  • It is an old custom at least in Central Europe that children write a gift wish list before Christmas. If they behaved well, they may receive some gifts from their wish list. Stefan Keller from Hochschule Rapperswil wrote his wish list on twitter. Let’s hope, that he behaves well. 😉
