Massachusetts Pirate Party supports a map that identifies the location of surveillance cameras and the area under surveillance.
Surveillance under Surveillance alternative, this site shutting down October 2025.
Anyone can update the map with camera locations around the world.
The map is based on OpenStreetMap but the data is not visualized on OpenStreetMap.org.

Dieses Jahr steht an den Strohfiguren eine schöne OSM-basierte Karte mit allen Gemeinden, die bei den Probsteier Korntagen mitmachen. 
Frage mich, wie zuverlässig die Markierung von als "mit dem Rad befahrbaren Wegen" auf Openstreetmap ist. Also, im Sinne von "DÜRFEN befahren werden", nicht "KÖNNEN befahren werden" 
A user in the OSM discord posted this screen grab from their flight sim. A bit of overpass querying and sleuthing leads you to this delightfully typo'd building:levels tag.
A classic.

#OpenStreetMap
As you might know, we have an #Android app version of #MapComplete in the works, which makes it even easier to see and edit #OpenStreetMap
After a bit of initial testing, we are opening up the test program to our followers here on Mastodon.
If you want to join the beta testers, send an email to info@mapcomplete.org

Wouldn't it make sense to ask a 'how many floors does a building have?' question in #StreetComplete ?
Maybe also some of the default roof types?
#CoMaps for example renders already buildings in 3d and it looks really nice.
This could also push a bit the 3d rendering scene in #OpenStreetMap, no?

I wish everyone could write the name of #OpenStreetMap properly.
One word with three capital letters and no trailing S.
"These features rely on tons of our user-generated data—the fuel of the platform... Crucially to the business, we users perform this crucial labor for free and without any say in the direction of the platform."
And this is why I stopped contributing to #MapyCom (and pretty much all proprietary platforms) and started contributing to #OpenStreetMap and #WikimediaCommons last year.

The other feedback I got was that people should be incentivized to improve OSM…e.g. delivery companies which use OSM could give discounts to mappers, and OSM itself could have some badges and achievements…
In response, I mentioned StreetComplete, presented the heatmap recently added to OSM profiles, and presented the proprietary web services How Did You Contribute to OpenStreetMap? (HDYC) and OSMStats.
But there’s still a lot more that could be done. At the very least, I hope HDYC and OSMStats can be reimplemented as part of osm.org itself…

It was pretty funny how that person asked whether there is any way to “reach out to OSM and ask them to only focus on one app”…and I had to gently inform them that OSM (or the OSMF) doesn’t make any apps, that each app was made by independent developers, and that there is no top-down authority dictating who works on what…
