Everything #OpenStreetMap related is welcome: software releases, showing of your work, questions about how to tag something, as long as it has to do with OpenStreetMap or OpenStreetMap-related software.

OpenStreetMap is a map of the world, created by people like you and free to use under an open license.

Join OpenStreetMap and start mapping: https://www.openstreetmap.org/.

There are many communication channels about OSM, many organized around a certain country or region. Discover them on https://openstreetmap.community/

https://mapcomplete.org/ is an easy-to-use website to view, edit and add points (such as shops, restaurants and others)

https://learnosm.org/en/ has a lot of information for beginners too.

2025: Governance issues and community concerns not addressed by company shareholders stalled the development of Organic Maps for months.

2025: The CoMaps community & non-profit project was founded by former Organic Maps contributors, based on the Organic Maps source code.

Yes, I read that, but it might be a little bit biased coming from the project itself. Open source is do-cracy, so it is very important to have core contributors onboard.
