Here is what is missing in the popular #OSM based #FOSS apps (#OsmAnd, @CoMaps & @organicmaps) from being a potential replacement for GMaps.

1. Photos & Reviews are two most important things that are missing right now. @mangroveReviews and @lib_reviews are here to fill the reviews gap. #WikimediaCommons, @panoramax are here to fill the photos gap.

2. Crowdsourced Real time Traffic data. I couldn't find any #opendata platform yet. Though I saw an empty repo created under the CoMaps project. 🤞

My best guess for now would be openintel.nl, which has a massive #opendata program.

I have a new 'climate viz of the month' blog posted, which looks at the regional differences in days with open water across the #Arctic: https://zacklabe.com/climate-viz-of-the-month/

Just out!

We, researchers and open science practitioners from developing countries, share a step-by-step guide to adopting open science in resource-constrained contexts.

Alongside it: a toolkit with repositories, FOSS tools, training, funding, checklists, community-building resources... We highlight both barriers and unique strengths from our regions.

If you want to play with the data: I uploaded a CSV with the basic data that should be clean and correct at https://codeberg.org/jwildeboer/SchengenData/src/branch/main/CSV/2025-08-04_SchengenExceptionsClean.csv

I will update the CSV when the Commission makes new data available, time permitting. Enjoy!

#EU#Schengen#OpenData

And now we can start looking for patterns 😊 For starters: Which countries filed the most Schengen exceptions and how many per year? Austria and Germany are on top. Norway, Finland, France, Denmark next.

Very cool @openstreetmap project to map the remaining 30% of the world's high-voltage transmission system (And also the next 100% of the grid as it builds out in coming decades!) from @OpenEnergyTransition. #Energy#OpenData

I have contributed small updates it over the years, but one aspect that I only started using this year, is the coverage and accurateness of their international bicycle path map! https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=11/51.1498/5.9782&layers=C

It would be easier to defend @linuxfoundation from new criticism over one unsurprising finding, out of 12 findings, in their report on their 2024 World Open Innovation Conference session Pathways to Open Data, if it were not the 3rd thing ever posted from that report and if some of the report & other posts were not boosting corporate "AI".

But for the record #DataProtection is essential and #OpenData is a public good, they are not incompatible, but bogus privacy concerns do hinder data sharing.

Please. Uploas these locations to OpenStreetMap

#PublicMoneyPublicCode also goes for #OpenData...

Data privacy rules like GDPR are fueling a climate of risk aversion, slowing open data progress.

Stimolare la diffusione e l’uso degli open data significa puntare a ricucire il legame di fiducia tra cittadini e istituzioni attraverso trasparenza e partecipazione. I dati aperti sugli appalti comunali italiani sono oggi ricchi, ma la soglia di accesso tecnico per il cittadino in termini di monitoraggio civico rimane elevata
