I just spend some time mapping buildings in Kenya. There was a big flood in that region, and having an up-to-date map will help responders to deliver aid.

Ran a fun Palestine Open Maps mapathon yesterday with Yara Sa'di-Ibraheem. She's researching communications infrastructure in Palestine during the British colonial era, so we extracted the telecom infrastructure in the historical maps using the Tasking Manager, based on Yara's paper: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.polgeo.2024.103242

We got a lot of work done! Blue squares are the ones that have been worked on. There's a long way to go, but good progress.

We’re contributing to the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOTOSM) Task #36636, supporting flood response in Southern Thailand. Together, we’ll trace building footprints in Hatyai to strengthen disaster preparedness and recovery.

Bring your laptop, curiosity, and civic spirit.

Rutometro is Trufi’s first multi-city app, built on the buses, vans, and collectivos that millions rely on every day.

Using open data, Rutometro serves 8 Mexican cities

Payal Arora says youth are using AI to recover from the global South's "colonial hangover." There's probably no better example of this than car-dominance. Another reason why open transport data matters.
