      OSM is a wonderful project and something I support.

      Help out by mapping your local area with the StreetComplete app. It’s like PokemonGo, but actually helpful.

          Damn. Wish there was an iOS version.

              Thanks. Downloaded and will give it a go.

              As a side note, some of you may be interested in the EU Funding & Tenders Portal, where such projects like the Fediversity receive grants.

                So will they add public transit directions? That’s the main reason why I still use Google Maps.

                    The public transit routes are there, but not the timetables. To my understanding, those wouldn’t be a good fit with OSM’s goals / being a geo information system. Basically third party client apps will have to combine that kind of info from different sources.

                    So, like, one person paid for over two years?

                        This years budget of the foundation is GBP 651.900,00. So this will help them a lot.

                          That increases their budget by 50%

                              For two years (not complaining, just adding info)

                              More like a LOT of services for an open project

                                I don’t think that the goal is for Germany to fund the entire project, but it helps. Other parties can also chip in.

                                  I don’t think OSM is paying coastal US corporate salaries lol

                                    I’m sure if we all dunk on it they’ll start to give more.

                                  News and information from Europe 🇪🇺

                                  (Current banner: La Mancha, Spain. Feel free to post submissions for banner images.)

                                  Rules (2024-08-30)

                                  1. This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don’t overly distort the content.
                                  2. No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
                                  3. Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don’t post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don’t troll nor incite hatred. Don’t look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia’s List of fallacies.
                                  4. No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, islamophobia, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism. We follow German law; don’t question the statehood of Israel.
                                  5. Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add “/s” when you’re being sarcastic (and don’t use it to break rule no. 3).
                                  6. If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
                                  7. Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in other communities.
                                  8. Don’t evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
                                  9. No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)
                                  10. Always provide context with posts: Don’t post uncontextualized images or videos, and don’t start discussions without giving some context first.

                                  (This list may get expanded as necessary.)

                                  Posts that link to the following sources will be removed

                                  • on any topic: Al Mayadeen, brusselssignal:eu, citjourno:com, europesays:com, Breitbart, Daily Caller, Fox, GB News, geo-trends:eu, news-pravda:com, OAN, RT, sociable:co, any AI slop sites (when in doubt please look for a credible imprint/about page), change:org (for privacy reasons)
                                  • on Middle-East topics: Al Jazeera
                                  • on Hungary: Euronews

                                  Unless they’re the only sources, please also avoid The Sun, Daily Mail, any “thinktank” type organization, and non-Lemmy social media (incl. Substack). Don’t link to Twitter directly, instead use xcancel.com. For Reddit, use old:reddit:com

                                  (Lists may get expanded as necessary.)

                                  Ban lengths, etc.

                                  We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.

                                  If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 7 or 14 days for bigger offenses, and permanent bans for people who don’t show any willingness to participate productively. If we think the ban reason is obvious, we may not specifically write to you.

                                  If you want to protest a removal or ban, feel free to write privately to the primary mod account @EuroMod@feddit.org
