You are! Or someone else. :) Are you in a position to help? Please add
target press to the document if you have any suggestions.
I wonder if UCL press office would be interested, since Steve Coast
was at UCL when it started, and UCL has been supportive
person who might chat to their press

I'm looking forward to OSM's 10th birthday. It occurred to me that we
should perhaps use it as a potential opportunity for some press

I've been surprised by the fairly strong resistance to bot edits in

Hi all,
In my area the council does a handy thing: they mark postcodes on the
lampposts. So I've been noting them down for mapping. However, it's a
curse as well as a blessing...
Of course lampposts are not identical with segments-of-streets, nor
with building-addresses, so it's rarely clear

Hi Lester,
I'd suggest using the Leaflet javascript library to embed your maps:

you can use a single javascript call map.fitbounds(bounds) which

Interesting application. Since none of the objects in OSM are
guaranteed permanent, I expect the way to do it would be for trees in
OSM to have ref=* which crossreferences some external database (rather
than trying to build a permanent URI scheme pointing at OSM features).
Or maybe the key uri=* -
Hi all -
I went and asked them about data licencing. They're not going the
open-data route - essentially personal use only, so they can reserve
the ability to charge for some uses.
For interest, here's the description of the European grant which
helped them develop their crowdsourcing:
Nice to see the recommendation. I guess from an OSM point of view, one
of the most important responses to make would be to ensure that the
basic free product is truly OGL, free of any more restricted content
(e.g. OSOGL) that could hold back beneficial uses of the data?

Definitely you should _not_ tag both the polygon and a node. That
creates two objects, and many systems will then think there are two
