Okay #OpenStreetMap fans, who knows where I took a selfie earlier this week?

I was told there was going to be a #StateoftheMap conference here, I hope I'm not too late!...

In theory I've not yet told social media about a big life event... unless #OpenStreetMap notes count as "social media".

I'm a little surprised none of my mapping friends have left a comment on the changeset. 😊

TIL, you can use the - & + keys on OpenStreetMap.org to zoom the map in & out. (shift - & shift + to zoom in/out quicker) 😍 ⌨

(technically the = key on my keyboard works as + here, so use = to zoom in)

What did I think of #sotmeu? What were the unique parts of it? What did it look like?

Ever made an #OpenStreetMap pilgrimage? I did...

This video is from March but I never uploaded it, maybe it was too silly. I'll post another short pilgrimage tomorrow morning.

The history and legacy of Stamen maps. #sotmeu #OSMart
"A set of maps that have essentially become an art piece" - Luke Seelenbinder

The work of OSM Belgium & https://equalstreetnames.org/ actually caused change and a tunnel/street in Belgium was renamed to a female famous person. #sotmeu

"So these are the sort of people that when walking down the street & see trash, they pick it up and put it in the trash bin?" - Mike's wife trying to understand the OpenStreetMap community and why we do what we do. #sotmeu 💙

Sometimes that's because we want the doughnut shop on the map & correct, sometimes it's helping save lives by mapping disaster zones.

"It's not possible for one person or company to map the world.

Of course #OpenStreetMap knew that all along, it took the commercial world a decade to understand that" - Mike Harrell, TomTom. #sotmeu

I'm so excited to be at #sotmeu.
Ben & Joost opening with a great welcome and talk about #OpenStreetMap in Belgium.

:osm_intensifies: Internet search help please...
Remember those graphics/posters where every building outline for a given-city is show, but sorted in a grid by biggest-first instead of geographic placements?

I can't find any online now, and I'm the terms I'm using aren't helpful. Bonus if I you find one that uses and credits #OpenStreetMap

I've joined Mastedon (I've been embarrassingly slow to get here).
Facebook I uploaded photos of me, Twitter I made commentary at a conference, Instagram I posted a photo of my lunch.
What is the stereotypical post to do here? Or shall I wait till I'm @sotmeu for my account to get busy?
