I have uploaded the slides from my "Postpass" talk at SOTM Manila here: http://www.remote.org/frederik/tmp/postpass.pdf

Just booked my ticket for SotM in Nairobi! Next step, work on slides for the talk...

A journalist emailed me months ago asking if they could ask me some questions about corporate influence in OSM. I said sure, had a nice chat with them. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-02-19/openstreetmap-charts-a-controversial-new-direction is the resulting article that came out today. I think it is a factual and balanced article overall and I struggle to understand why people throw disparaging remarks at me on Twitter. I'm quoted saying that corporate mappers don't map for the same reasons as the rest of us - that's obvious right? They get paid, we don't?

http://osm.gryph.de/2019/12/the-diversity-dilemma/ in which I explain how paying people to contribute to OSM deprives them of the real OSM and gives them a low-grade fake instead.

Let data@osmfoundation.org know about the details, and they might conveniently wipe the AI import ;)

Auf eins ist Verlaß: Die Karlsruher Großbaustellen sind von Corona offenbar nicht betroffen, da geht die Arbeit weiter wie wir es seit 10 Jahren gewohnt sind.

my #1 thing that i always have to look up and never remember: how to add a list of numbers on the command line: paste -sd+ - |bc

Ryanair didn't think so. Cancelled my fliight *shakes fist*

Nice breeze outside. Just the right day for my planned flight to Stansted Airport!
