Oktober 2026 in den Messehallen Berlin stattfand, ist die damalige Vermutung “Möglicherweise macht es Sinn als Verein zukünfti
Over the past months I’ve been building v2 of an idea I’ve had for a while: a way to explore every OpenStreetMap changeset since 2005, see trends over time, and drill down to who did what. (v1 was a prototype built on Datadog; its code is here . Links links links, show me the thing ➡️ https://osm-monitor.johan.sh ⬅️ ·
Usually users add 1500–2000 map notes per day. Yesterday (2026-10-13) one user added 6175 map notes. Yesterday all users added 7717 map notes. So one user added 80% map notes (one user added four times as many notes as all the other users combined).
