Finally got around to watch the great #SotMEU25 talk by @Firefishy about how hard it can be to do @osm_tech work. Thanks to scrapers and people using expensive OSM API calls to check if their own software is online.

The stupid things OpenStreetMap ops team have to deal with:
"Some lovely company thought the best way to check if this app is online is to do a very expensive query against OpenStreetMap... every 3 seconds... with hundreds of instances of this app" https://youtu.be/qhie14YKa-w?si=9_jsShC_IeJQFKWP&t=565

The UK chapter of #OpenStreetMap membership is £5 a year https://osmuk.org/members/become-member/ - more members means more clout for lobbying, and more cash for things like being able to host #sotmeu25 this year. I've just joined ✅🗺️

That's been just lovely, so glad i could make it out for a day of #sotmeu25 - exactly the combination of the wider community meeting the local enthusiasts, getting to put faces to familiar handles, and feeling blasts from the distant past that you could want it to be
The twinkling lights over the Tay took a long time to recede! Dundee has a lot going for it as a place, a sense of life to it
Thank you @gregorymarler for doing so much of the event organising, it came off very slick
Sad to miss #sotmeu25 day two, but at least I’re been to the Verdant Works recently so can picture the social venue. I had a prior commitment, marred only by car overheating issues forcing an AA consultation and a more gently paced return trip, with a strategic late lunch stop. 🚗

"I know we [people who are not the majority] are out there, but how do I find them. How do I find people like me, and people not like me, and have them speak?"
Gala, the #geomob Edinburgh organiser talking about #OpenStreetMap diversity at @sotmeu and how the lack of diversity affects what has been mapped. #sotmeu25
Finally made it to the infodesk, better a lot late than never #sotmeu25

Own up, who put the “What 3 Fucks” sticker in the basket at #sotmeu25? It caused some laughs with the #OpenStreetMap community more aware than most of the limitations of #WhatThreeWords 🤣🗺️

Would you join the #sotmeu25 team?
We need help at the conference to: introduce speakers, load slides, pass the Q&A mic, and be an informed welcoming-face to conference delegates. If you want to join our team of volunteers please e-mail info@stateofthemap.eu letting us know if you have a preference of roles and if you already have a ticket.
We're hoping to bring you a truly epic geodata conference organised & run by volunteers... make sure you're there!
