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.

Everybody can help! Check www.hotosm.org

Most people don’t follow weather news about faraway places but this is a cataclysmic event about to happen. We’re talking millions of people affected and displaced. Think biblical floods, think biggest storm in years.
@hotosm.org are we already planning an urgent #HOTOSM project? Better start now.

Digitizing informal public transport through collaboration. The result: Not just an app, but a system where open data empowers both riders and planners.

Volunteers map the routes. Universities and civic groups strengthen the base map. Trufi turns the map into GTFS so it can live inside apps […]

Social post in Spanish about a Trufi-led mapping workshop in Salina Cruz, Oaxaca, where 16 youth mapped nearly all local public transport routes in one day using free software.

Trufi, HOTOSM, and Codeando México are turning riders into public transport architects.

Real-world map data is helping make better games about farms and transportation Titles like City Bus Manager and Global Farmer are benefiting from OpenStreetMap.

OpenStreetMap turns games into tools for understanding—and improving—real-world mobility.

AI is changing how OpenStreetMap grows, mapping buildings at scale. But informal transport networks thrive even deeper in the gaps AI already struggles to see.

Had a great Humanitarian Mapping session yesterday, with about 30 people mapping buildings in Equador. Made a big impact on our project. #openstreetmap #hotosm #missingmaps #osm

Finally, my long research and international conference tour will conclude in December. This week, I will return to Milano.
