    State of the Map 2026 (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Last week I attended this year’s State of the Map (SotM) in Paris, France, OpenStreetMap’s annual conference. This was actually my first time making it to SotM since I started working with OSM data for KDE Itinerary eight years or so ago. All links to talks below go the their abstracts, video recordings are still being added to the OSM FR Peertube instance at the time of writing.

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Last weekend I joined an in-person workshop at HTW Berlin for discussing topics around mapping indoor spaces in OpenStreetMap. Mapping indoor spaces is a somewhat niche topic in the OSM community still, but something that is quite relevant for projects I’m involved in: The term “indoor” isn’t strictly referring to “in a building” here, there’s many gray areas e.g. at train stations.
