OSM UK Online Chat

Thread for the monthly live online mapping chat for UK mappers.

This coming Monday 15th April, the UK Local Chapter “OSM UK” (https://osmuk.org/) will be hosting another online chat for UK mappers to get together and talk about anything mapping and OSM related.

This month, I’ll start the meeting by talking about the current UK Quarterly Project on Defibrillators, and some of the tools and sources we can use to help. For further details see UK Quarterly Project/2024/2024 Q2 Project: Defibrillators - OpenStreetMap Wiki . There will then be time for further discussion about this or anything else you want.

The meeting will start at 8pm (UK time; GMT+1) on Monday 15th April, and probably go on for around an hour, but you can come and go as you please. Full login details can be found in the OSMCal entry. I hope we’ll see a number UK mappers there.

For those who didn’t make it to the April meeting, the slides I presented on the Defib project can now be found at https://osm.mathmos.net/defib/uk-chat-slides-2024-04-15.pdf

If anyone has any suggestions, or would like to volunteer to lead a discussion or give a presentation at a future meeting, please get in touch. It can be a simple as just talking about the ways you contribute to OSM, how you use OSM data, or a personal project you’re involved with.

Kinda disappointed at no mention of OpenAEDMap :frowning:

The Quarterly Project page mentions them.

That’s great! If there is any functionality that’s confusing or missing, don’t hesitate to file an issue on GitHub:

@Robert_Whittaker I’m wondering if your progress map would motivate more people if it showed postcode districts instead of the larger postcode areas. They may better represent the areas people map.
