Nakon obustave projekta javnog prijevoza u Rijeci i ažuriranja svih gradskih i prigradskih linija, odlučio sam se za početak novog projekta ažuriranja podataka riječke obilaznice i autoceste A7 (Rupa - Rijeka - Šmrika) u punom profilu, između graničkog prijelaza Rupa (01+000 km) do čvora Križišće (43+000 km) u oba smjera te sve prateće pristupne i prilazne ceste. Cijeli projekt obuhvaća: 1. uređenje postojećih čvorova (ispravak ulaznih i izlaznih krakova). 2. korekcija zelenih površina i područja za akumulaciju vode. 3. uređenje postojeće signalizacije i uvođenje pozicija LED promjenjivih displeja iznad profila kolnika. 4. ispravak ili ažuriranje podataka o trakama (broj traka, ograničenje brzine). 5. uvođenje pozicija kamera za brzinu te nadzornih kamera sa direktnom poveznicom na sliku nadzorne kamere. 6. ažuriranje daljnih cestovnih pravaca i odredišta na izlaznim i ukaznik krakovima čvorišta. 7. dodavanje informacija o tunelima, duljini, godini izgradnje i tehičkim specifikacijama iste prirode.

Do sada (zaključno sa 13.10.2024.) ažurirani su čvorovi Jurdani, Trinakstići, Učka, Rijeka zapad, Rujevica, Škurinje, Orehovica, Sveti Kuzam i Hreljin te dionice Škurinje - Orehovica i Hreljin - Križišće. Planirani završetak ažuriranja postojećih podataka je najkasnije do 15.12.2024. godine, a nakon toga planiram i ažuriranje i dodavanje podataka na dionici autoceste A6 između naplatne postaje Kikovica (Čavle) i čvora Vrata.

Kod ažuriranja podataka koristim se stranicamainternetskim stranicama Hrvatskih autocesta, GIS portalom Hrvatskih cesta, Geoportalom HAC-a, fotografijama sa Google karate (Street View), fotografijama sa terena te popisom nadzornih kamera na internetskih stranicama Hrvatskog autokluba.

Uz cijeli projekt, djelomično je ažurirana i dionica autoceste A8 (Kanfanar - Učka - Matulji) na dionici između tunela Učka i čvora Matulji.

I recently finished this mini-project where I implemented the classic 15 puzzle game but using the standard OpenStreetMap tiles as the sliding pieces!

While there are many implementations of this game online and in app stores (some even let you upload your own image), as far as I know, not one directly uses OSM slippy map tiles for the pieces. I figured this would be a nifty side coding project and it was fun to do!

Currently you can play any of 20 map locations. Enjoy! 🎉

It’s that time of the year again, and once more, I find myself sharing my experience from State of the Map Nigeria 2024. Unlike last year, when we didn’t have workshops, this time we were spoiled with multiple workshops, covering various topics that kept participants actively engaged. Plus, for those who missed any sessions, we now have everything recorded and uploaded to our YouTube channel to revisit at any time!

Unfortunately, as the Programs Lead, I missed many of the live sessions myself. But during the few times I could sneak into a session, I was blown away by the depth and engagement. This conference had that special vibe, the kind that makes you wish it lasted longer. I’m confident that everyone who joined will be excited to return next year.

One of the things that stood out this year was the diversity in our participants. We had people coming from across the north, south, east of Nigeria, and even Ghana! Meeting new faces, like my new friend Calvin Menttor from Ghana, was an absolute pleasure. By the way, I finally got to see the Ghana cedi in person 😄.

To my Tech Crew, Joshua, and Justice, I must confess that I still mix your names up sometimes 😅, but it was a fantastic experience working with you both! Together, we made the media coordination a breeze (though, Justice, you did leave me to freeze by taking the duvet 😂).

Shout-out to my Logistics HoD, Olurunkosebi, and Welfare HoD, Titi. You both made my job so much easier! You ensured that meals arrived on time and that all the participants had a comfortable experience.

And I can’t forget Hajar from TomTom, who supported us with the mapping project used during the conference. Your contributions were invaluable, and we’re incredibly grateful.

Lastly, but by no means least, to the Chair of the Conference, Dr. Victor Sunday—thank you for not giving up on this journey and for leading us through it all. From the months of planning to the final delivery, you were the driving force that kept everything moving forward.

The last time I updated my OSM diary was after last year’s conference, and here I am again. I honestly can say that SotMNigeria2024 was a blast! I can’t wait for next year’s edition—whether it’s SotMGlobal2025 or SotMNigeria2025. Stay tuned for more updates in my next diary entry!

I also want to extend my heartfelt appreciation to AFRIGIST for hosting us. The experience was so inspiring that I hope to return to your school soon for my MSc. Fingers crossed!

Thank you to everyone who made this possible. The journey, the planning, the execution—it’s been an unforgettable experience.

Thank you, SotMNigeria2024, for a fantastic experience. #SotM #SotMNigeria #SotMNigeria2024 #UniqueMappersNetwork #AFRIGIST #TomTom #SpatialMatrix #SciStarters #OSMNigeria #OSM

Heatwaves have become a growing concern in recent years, and this year they’ve hit Bangladesh harder than ever, posing serious health risks. Our team, Three Dot, is competing in the Forewarn Disaster Hackathon 2.0, where we’re developing an app to provide heatwave alerts and an AI assistant that offers crucial advice on heat-related health issues.

One of the key features of our solution is providing users with the location of the nearest cooling centers—places with public accessibility, where people can cool down safely. These could be shopping malls, super shops, or mosques—any space that’s well-ventilated and free for the public to stay in.

The challenge we faced is that such attributes don’t exist in OpenStreetMap (OSM) for Bangladesh. Drawing on my previous experience as the former president of YouthMappers at Eastern University, I took the initiative to map out potential cooling centers. We’re tagging these places with: 1) Cooling_center: yes and 2) Cooling_center_bd: yes, to create a reliable resource for users and develop our heatwave project on top of that. Initially, our target location is, Dhanmondi and Mohammadpur.

Our initial focus has been on mapping spaces open to the community, such as large shopping malls and mosques, so that people can find refuge during extreme heatwaves, even if just for a short time.

When I finished high school, I joined the Rwanda Red Cross because I have always loved humanitarian work and felt a strong duty to help people in any way I could. Becoming a trainer with Rwanda Red Cross gave me a sense of purpose in humanitarian action. I first encountered Humanitarian OpenStreetMap (OSM) during a disaster response for landslides and flooding in Rwanda, where many lives were lost. As a volunteer with the Rwanda Red Cross, I was part of the response team. After witnessing the destruction of buildings and roads by the floods, I began to wonder how people could be helped to avoid living in areas prone to such disasters. I thought about the potential of maps to identify unsafe places but didn’t know how it could be done.

One day, a friend introduced me to OSM Rwanda after I expressed my curiosity about maps. I joined the community, and on my very first day, I was trained on the importance of mapping for humanitarian response. I learned how to map roads and buildings, and though it wasn’t easy at first, I was deeply motivated. My curiosity had found a solution, and I was determined to continue contributing to mapping.

I started attending more mapping sessions and OSM events, learning and growing my skills. Eventually, I became a trainer in OSM Rwanda, teaching newcomers about mapping. This role allowed me to learn even more, as teaching others exposed me to different aspects of mapping. Over time, I made significant contributions and applied for a scholarship to attend the State of the Map (SOTM) conference in Nairobi. I believed it would be a great opportunity to expand my knowledge, and I was thrilled when my application was accepted.

Attending my first-ever SOTM event was incredibly exciting. As the time approached, I was filled with expectations and excitement. When I finally arrived in Nairobi, I had the opportunity to meet people from different countries, learn from them, make new friends, and experience such an event for the first time.

SOTM Nairobi brought me a deep sense of fulfilment and motivation to continue contributing to humanitarian actions. I was happy to connect with fellow participants, share thoughts, and discuss how OSM projects were making an impact in their countries. It was especially inspiring to talk with young people and women who are also making contributions to OSM. Seeing their passion for mapping filled me with pride, especially as the highest female contributor to OSM in Rwanda. It made me feel that I was truly making a difference.

During the conference, I learned many new things, including how to use tools like Every Door and QGIS for analysis, and many innovations presentation. SOTM Nairobi was an amazing experience meeting friends from around the world who are driving humanitarian action together, especially my fellow women, was inspiring.

I had fun, gained knowledge, made friends, and shared experiences. I am committed to continuing my impact through mapping and improving my skills in OSM tools. I also aim to retain my position as the highest female mapping contributor in Rwanda and to train more volunteers even beyond Rwanda to global scale. I am incredibly grateful to Humanitarian OpenStreetMap for this opportunity, and I look forward to more opportunities to learn and make an even greater impact.

This project is created to map POIs and landmarks using field-collected Mapillary but I couldn’t find this filter.

As the OpenStreetMap Foundation’s Senior Site Reliability Engineer (SRE), my focus in the OpenStreetMap Operations Team over the last year has been on driving efficiency, improving resiliency, and scaling our infrastructure to support the continued growth of the OpenStreetMap project. From cloud migration to server upgrades, we’ve made several improvements since last year to better position OpenStreetMap’s infrastructure to meet these resiliency and growth challenges.

Improving User Facing Services

Upgraded Rendering Services

The tile rendering infrastructure saw notable upgrades, including hardware and software optimisations, faster tile cache expiry to address vandalism, and automation to block non-attributing users. We now re-render low-zoom tiles daily, improving both performance and allowing a faster mapper feedback loop. The tile service is widely used and keeping up with demand is an ongoing challenge.

New Aerial Imagery Service

Launched a new aerial imagery service that supports GeoTIFF COGs. The service now hosts aerial.openstreetmap.org.za which is backed by 16TB of high-resolution imagery. The new service makes it easier to host additional imagery in the future.

Transition to Gmail Alternative & Spam Mitigation

After facing significant spam issues with the OSMF’s Google Workspace, I migrated OSMF email services to mailbox.org. This has reduced the spam volume and improved administrative efficiency. We’re also in the process of transitioning historical OSMF Google Docs data to a self hosted service.

Dealing with DDoS Attacks and Vandalism

This year, we faced several Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks, including a major DDoS for ransom incident, which was reported to law enforcement. These attacks tested our infrastructure, but we’ve implemented measures to strengthen our resilience and better protect against future threats.

We also dealt with large-scale vandalism that affected OpenStreetMap services. Thanks to the swift response and adjustments made by the Operations team, we’ve reinforced our infrastructure to better handle abuse and ensure continuous service.

Planet Data Hosting on AWS S3

With the OpenStreetMap Operations Team I’ve moved our planet data hosting to AWS S3 with mirrors in both the EU and US, allowing us to fully reinstate the back catalog of historical data. Through AWS’s OpenData sponsorship, replication diffs and planet data are now more accessible.

Making Systems Easier to Manage

Full AWS Infrastructure Management Using OpenTofu

With the OpenStreetMap Operations Team I’ve successfully migrated all manually managed AWS resources to Infrastructure-as-Code (IAC) using OpenTofu (formerly Terraform). This transition allowed us to improve cost efficiency, enhance security by adopting a least privilege IAM model, and gain better visibility into expenditures through detailed billing tags. Additionally, we’ve integrated S3 Storage Analytics to further optimise our costs, set up additional backups, and implemented enhanced lifecycle rules.

Improved Service Outage Alerting

We implemented SMS-based alerting for critical service outages, alongside a sponsored PagerDuty account. These improvements ensure quicker response times and better coordination during outages, with full integration with Prometheus/Alertmanager and Statuscake in the works.

Technical Debt reduction

This year, we made progress in reducing technical debt by moving several legacy services to more maintainable solutions. For instance, we containerised old services, including legacy State of the Map websites that were previously running poorly maintained WordPress installations. This transition has improved the scalability, security, and long-term maintainability of these services.

Additionally, we replaced our custom source installation of OTRS with a Znuny package installation from Debian. This shift simplifies upgrades and reduces the maintenance burden, ensuring the system remains up to date and secure without custom modifications.

Ensuring Infrastructure Resilience Despite Hardware Failures

Over the past year, we’ve maintained a resilient infrastructure even in the face of hardware failures. We replaced numerous disks and RAM, ensuring minimal disruption to services. Our bespoke monitoring system allows us to detect early signs of hardware failure, enabling us to act quickly and replace faulty components before they cause significant issues. This proactive approach has been key to maintaining system uptime and reliability.

Upgrading Infrastructure

Cross-Site Replication of Backups

To ensure robust disaster recovery, I’ve established cross-account, cross-region replication for AWS S3 backups, enabling point-in-time recovery. This safeguards critical data and services, even in the face of major failures, providing long-term peace of mind.

High Availability Infrastructure

Key hardware upgrades in our Amsterdam, Dublin, and OSUOSL sites improved performance, storage capacity, and network reliability. New switches were installed in 2022, and we’ve now finished setting up a high availability (HA) configurations to ensure improved service, which we have continued improve the setup by moving to dual diverse uplinks to our ISP for better resilience.

Debian Migration

We are migrating from Ubuntu to Debian 12 (Bookworm) as our standard distribution. All new servers now run on Debian. Our chef configuration management has been updated with test code to ensure ongoing compatibility. This transition marks a shift towards greater long-term stability and security. Mastodon post celebrating the transition.

Looking Ahead

The year ahead brings exciting new opportunities as we build on our progress. Key priorities for 2024 / 2025 include:

Engaging

Community Engagement & Outward Communication: Enhancing collaboration with the Communication Working Group (CWG) and improving our public-facing communication around service status and outages.

Improving Documentation and Onboarding: We’ll enhance onboarding documentation and conduct dedicated sessions to help new contributors get involved in operations more easily. This includes improving the reliability and coverage of our testing processes, ensuring smoother contributions and reducing the learning curve for new team members.

Planning and Optimizing

Capacity Planning for Infrastructure Growth: As OpenStreetMap and the demand on our services grow, we will ensure we can scale to meet demand. By anticipating future needs and balancing performance with cost-effective growth, we aim to maintain the service quality and availability our community expects.

Ongoing Cost Optimisation: We’ll continue to find ways to reduce costs by leveraging sponsorships like the AWS OpenData programme, ensuring sustainable operations.

Continuing to Reduce Technical Debt: We will continue simplifying our infrastructure by reducing the maintenance burden of legacy systems, such as increasing the use of containers. This will help streamline management tasks and allow us to focus on other improvements, making the infrastructure more efficient and scalable over time.

Continue Infrastructure Improvements

Implementation of High Availability Load Balancers: Rolling out the HA (VRRP + LVS + DSR) configuration for load balancers to improve system reliability and reduce potential downtime.

Finalising Prometheus Integration with PagerDuty: Completing the integration of Prometheus for monitoring and PagerDuty for streamlined alerting and incident response.

Complete the Transition to Full Debian Environment: Migrating all remaining services from Ubuntu to Debian for increased stability and security.

Enhancing Disaster Recovery & Backup Strategies: Further refining our recovery documentation and introducing additional backup measures across critical services are protected and recoverable in the event of failure.

• Zsolt Ero has built OpenFreeMap, a free and open-source OSM hosting solution with customisable styles. The service is available for free on its public instance, or you can choose to self-host it.

OSM in action

• Marcus Jaschen discovered an advertising banner featuring an embedded interactive OpenStreetMap map.
• OpenBeta is a platform where members can collaboratively create open-source, open-licensed climbing data. Their home page features an OpenStreetMap-based display showcasing the latest contributions from users.
• Taiwan’s Central Weather Administration has developed an OpenStreetMap-based interactive map to monitor the movement of Typhoon Krathon, a powerful typhoon originating in the west Pacific Ocean and currently moving along the coast of Taiwan as at early October 2024.
• The State Chancellery of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern created a uMap interactive map to assist visitors attending the citizens’ festival for the Day of German Unity 2024, which was held 2 to 4 October, in the city of Schwerin.

Open Data

• The call for proposals for the EU Open Data Days 2025 is open until Tuesday 22 October. This event seeks to showcase the potential of open data and gather data providers, enthusiasts, and users from across Europe and beyond.

Licenses

• Jean-Christophe Becquet, a board member of the French Federation of OSM Professionals, has endorsed ► the publication of the practical guide ‘Everything You Need to Know About the ODbL Licence’ (we reported earlier), describing it as an impressive educational initiative that clarifies the rights and responsibilities associated with this open licence.

Software

• Emil (coolultra1) has added more aerial imagery of Saarland and Baden-Württemberg (both in Germany) to the OSM Editor Layer Index.

Releases

• Amanda McCann has significantly refactored her WaterwayMapOrg code to make use of the name=* tag for connecting river basins.
• TrickyFoxy has released version 0.5 of better-osm-org, which includes several new features such as the visualisation of changesets, likes/dislikes, more hotkeys, and the ability to view older versions of map objects.

Did you know …

• … that Stephan Bösch-Plepelits used PTMap to illustrate their proposed new public transportation route for Vienna, Austria? PTMap is a tool for visualising OSM public transportation route data.

OSM in the media

• c’t, a German computer magazine, interviewed Tobias Zwick about StreetComplete for their ‘Open Source Spotlight’ newsletter.

Other “geo” things

• Marguerite Catton, of France Culture, interviewed Sébastien Soriano, Director General of the French National Institute of Geographic and Forest Information (IGN), about IGN Maps ►, a smartphone application developed by the IGN that provides access to multiple map layers and geolocation services.
• Switzerland and Italy have redefined a section of their border that crosses an Alpine peak due to the shifting glaciers altering the historically established boundary.

Petite annonce, la communauté des cartographes libre toulousain (je trouve ça plus cool comme intitulé que contributeur à OpenStreetMap), est passé d’un mode de communication essentiellement centré autour d’une liste de diffusion au forum proposé par osm france.

On se retrouve donc ici pour discuter de nos rencontres mensuelles (auxquelles je ne participe pas, car trop loin, pas le bon jour). Des évènements où nous essayons d’être présent et pour l’organisation de carto fête future. Passez nous lire sur le forum si vous êtes dans le coin et nous faire un petit coucou.

Les toulousains tiendront un stand au devfest toulouse et sans doute au Capitole du libre (stand demandé, par encore de réponse).

I started mapping a few weeks ago, sticking (mostly) to North Muirton in Perth for now as I have lived here for 50 years so I think I know it quite well. No doubt I’ll have done a few things wrong along the way but I’ll go back and fix, if and when I realise. As I write this, almost all the houses and flats in NM are at least drawn out with a few streets still to be tagged with the “basics”.

I intend to add (or finish)

• Electricity Substations (all operated by SSE? - I think they all are)
• Grit Bins
• Public Benches
• Garages (rented out by the local council)
• Add all postcodes
• Public pathways (miles of them!)
• Back fences (the 6ft high ones around all the back gardens)
• Grassy areas
• Road crossings
• Drying greens for the 8 and 4-block flats

Cíl je jasný - napravit všechny chyby a nepřesnosti linek MHD v Brně v režii DPMB. Běh na dlouhou trať, moc hodin práce, ale snad se to povede. Používám jen JOSM. V ID se nic s relacemi nedá pořádně dělat, Relatify je nepoužitelné. Týden přidaná zastávka tam v mapě chybí, bůh ví, kdy se to aktualizuje. Pak to někdo upravuje tímto nástrojem a udělá víc zmatku, než užitku, a zničí korektně trasovanou linku. To naštve! Nicméně, zde je aktuální stav:

Značky:

⏳ - Aktuálně na tom pracuji

✓ - Zkontrolovaná a opravená trasa linky a všechny varianty.

✅ - Kompletní - zkontrolované a opravené i zastávky a tagy na lince dle v2.

❌ - Zatím na tomto neplánuji pracovat.
