#OpenStreetMap diary post 101 www.openstreetmap.org/user/SimonPo...
We've updated our FAQ sosm.ch/modi-faq/ to the MODI bill to reflect changes in how swisstopo is positioning their Verkehrsnetz CH product in the run up to the guaranteed passing of the bill in this months parliamentary session.

My comment on the OGC GERS standards proposal github.com/opengeospati...
There is a lot that could be said from a technical pov and Paul Norman has touched on some of them.
But the OMF is simply not an acceptable body for anything and that is where this discussion should stop.

Ah yes digital sovereignty is when you bend over backwards to update google but can't be bothered to give the open alternative even just a heads up www.kaisten.ch/aktuellesinf...
Anyway I think I've caught and updated all of the addresses in #OpenStreetMap , tricky because some of them got reused.

Wir treffen uns in der Bitwäscherei[2], ein Hackerspace in der alten Zürcher Zentralwäscherei. Der Hackerspace ist ein paar Fuss-Minuten vom Bahnhof Hardbrücke entfernt (~300m laut OSRM).

Der Fondue-Stammtisch in Zürich findet am Freitag 12. Dez. in einer Woche statt. Bitte meldet euch im Poll [1] bis nächsten Freitag an, wenn ihr kommen könnt. Für genug Fondue sollte gesorgt sein aber es vereinfacht die Planung wenn wir vorher schon wissen mit wie vielen Personen zu rechnen ist.

We've released V21.2, as our 'traditional' end-of-year release.
There are some minor changes relative to the beta, most notably the addition of a warning if you are moving a way that has a majority of its nodes off screen.

#OpenStreetMap Z'nacht in Bern am 2. Dezember osmcal.org/event/4198/
Very minor mystery:
Does anybody know what happened with the UUCP maps for Switzerland in 1989/1990? That is likely u.che.0 and u.che.1.
Up to 1989 Dietrich Wiegandt (who ran cernvax at CERN) posted them to comp.mail.maps, and from 1991 on I posted them from chsun (the CHUUG/EUnet Switzerland).
..
Data spaces are now mainly a thing because the open data consulting business has run its course.

At the end of this month Microsoft will be ending its Bing map services community.openstreetmap.org/t/discontinu... This has been a key bit of infrastructure #OpenStreetMap has relied on for nearly the last 15 years and was a significant boost to contributions back then.

Just in case you are wondering .... we are deliberately letting the building in Blatten VS standing for a couple of days , we -could- have re-tagged them yesterday afternoon.

Open since yesterday, available for navigation on #OpenStreetMap now
Aber die Funkstille ist völlig verständlich wenn man weiss, dass die Ladestationenintegration eins der MODI Vorzeigeprojekte ist
sosm.ch/de/stellungs...
Es ging und geht darum ob wir nicht irgendwie Zugriff auf die Ladestationen Daten des BfEs als Open Data für die Integration oder mindestens Abgleich mit #OpenStreetMap bekommen konnten.

Jetzt hat's plötzlich "klick" gemacht. Nach positivem Erstkontakt mit dem Bundesamt für Energie vor 2 Jahren werden wir sehr hartnäckig ge-ghostet.

It really shouldn’t matter if you are building your app or service on Tomtom, Here, google, apple, #OpenStreetMap or swisstopo data and services, the technology is there to make the mobility infrastructure (MODI) vendor agnostic, what is missing is the political will to require it.
sosm.ch/modi-faq/
Today the Swiss Federal Council finalised its proposal for a mobility data law to the Swiss parliament.
Should be good news, but unluckily isn't. See sosm.ch/de/stellungs... for our statement (English here sosm.ch/statement-on...).
May 2025 maintenance release of V21 is now available on googles play store and from our repository for direct download or with obtanium.
