It´s been a fun and insightful week at the #FOSSGIS2026 in Göttingen. See you again next year... in Heidelberg!

Thank you @FOSSGISeV, @osgeo and @unigoettingen for organizing such a huge and successful meetup of the DACH free and #opensource #GIS community.

Here are the session recordings, in case you missed any: https://media.ccc.de/b/conferences/geo/fossgis2026

We are now looking forward to being the host of the FOSSGIS conference 2027 and welcoming the community at Heidelberg University.

A new study analyzed over 15 years of @openstreetmap research, showing collaboration networks and research trends. An interesting reading for the #OSM community and all #VGI researchers: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2601.09338

We´re proud that Heidelberg University is at the center of OSM research and our Scientific Director Alexander Zipf is the most prolific author in the field!

#Verschwörhaus: Stadt #Ulm schmeißt #Hackerspace raus – und will den Namen auch gleich haben!

hello fediverse! I'm looking for openstreetmap users (or rather: editors) that would be willing to talk to me for a journalistic article (in the Luxembourgish leftist weekly "woxx") about their experience.

it doesn't matter if you edit #osm #openstreetmap a lot or only casualy, I'd just be interested to hear different voices.

(you can also just reply to this toot and tell me why you started to edit osm/whats your motivation to do it/what problems you see)

boosts more than welcome
