Happy 20th Birthday OpenStreetMap!
"OpenStreetMap has grown exponentially or quadratically over the last twenty years depending on the metric you’re interested in . . . The story isn’t so much about the data and technology, and it never was. It’s the people. " --@stevec, reflecting on 20 years of OSM

We are still, working out our social plan for April. However the inaugural #geomobEDI is taking place on the 26th March, and we (at least @chrisfl) will be there. thegeomob.com/post/mar-26th-…

A higher pressure shower gets people feeling clean faster. Turns out low pressure showers don't conserve water after all, so there's another attempt to reduce demand that backfired. Funny that the reaction to this thread has been so hostile when that's the big takeaway from it.

A lovely note left by a blind OpenStreetMap user asking to add missing tactile paving and crossing information.
In the end their daughter had added the info using @StreetComplete
Great motivation to keep on adding these details.

Why are people from Norway so good at editing files in Linux?
Their ancestors are vi-kings.

Amazing work by @aled_job who helped write & translate it #PostOfficeScandal

Good news for US mappers! We've added a new tile render server in the US. Big thanks to @OregonState OpenSource Lab (OSUOSL) for hosting it (and other OSM servers since 2011!) Thank you, also, @awscloud for the credits. Here's a 🧵about the #OpenStreetMap tile service:
