The useful part

The French community, together with the university, put together a fun experience. As an longtime inhabitant of the forum at c.osm.org I already read a few views on different types of members of our actually very diverse community. While there are quite some typical German Mappers on OSM (mapping away without ever interacting and kinda thinking of OSM as their personal project) there are so many different people out there working with and for OSM.

How it works

  • In this first installment of my random musings I'll just leave a link to a good talk I saw on day one that touches some frequent points of concern: https://2026.stateofthemap.org/sessions/3GRKKJ/ To all you...

Example or evidence

  • Keep in mind that this is my first (larger) OSM gathering of any type.

Details worth keeping

There's so much more out there than just your personal interest!
