@barefootstache @dean I'm glad to hear it. Appreciate the thoughts!

@dean Yeah for sure, I think the local single business sense I totally agree.

I guess to give more concrete examples. I'm looking at the AusPost store locator and correlating the data with OSM.

Does this idea break down for you personally when it starts to become a chain of stores?

#openstreetmap people! What are the most current thoughts on copyright for store locators?

I've found this and read the mailing list. While the position held here would be amazing I don't know if there is much consensus.

Can you share your thoughts?

#osm

@guerda Good point, I actually haven't tried that. I'll give it a crack tonight.

@guerda Too easy! I feel there might be space for a simpler app for quick POI addition. Maybe something like OSM Go! with some UI tweaks

@klemmi Awesome thank you!

@guerda I guess this quest as well requires that the POI's already be added to the map?

Does StreetComplete offer a way to have beginners add locations without too much hassle?

@guerda Oh yeah awesome! I've used it before but I haven't enabled the vegan / vegetarian flags before.

Definitely a great option to hand to beginners to speed up the process of getting this tag in!

It's a shame it's not enabled by default. I wonder what the reasons are there.

@barefootstache @osmvegan No worries thanks :)

@barefootstache @osmvegan Thanks I'm following. Are they more active over on telegram or matrix? Should I check those out?

Continuing my geeking out on #osm, I've done my first gps survey by biking every park's path in my local suburb of Willagee!

Surprisingly quick, and fun to visit parts of my suburb that I haven't been to before.

Looking forward to the tiles rendering so I can see my handwork!

@hansvurst Very cool! Do you know how often the data is updated on this project? I'll dig in some more soon see if I can find the source code.

@rastinza Neat I haven't heard of StreetComplete I'll check it out.

Also feels like the keyword is starting to get some actual usage which is great!

And someones already built a website to view this data!

I'm going to keep labeling everything I know in Perth and see where we get 😀

I'm having a blast with OpenStreetMaps today. I found that #osm supports a tag to label restaurants #vegan / #vegetarian!

There is a service out there already called HappyCow where the community adds / reviews companies.

I think it'd be awesome to have an open data version!

@samwilson Yep makes sense, I think the ID WikiData started using late last year is being phased out, when you follow the link it says "Page moved" and points to a page with a new format identifier (something uuid style with hyphens)

Doesn't really affect my toying with WikiData as I'm able to pivot based on ABN, but should I maybe raise this with Dhx1 who originally proposed this property?

Super interesting, I feel I've found a new rabbit hole to fall down. Thanks for all the tips.

@samwilson misunderstood*

@samwilson I may have understood the meaning of linking data in WikiData, are URLs more central to this approach? Would it instead be better to update the urls and identifiers for every charity?

@nolan I absolutely love containers! For quick repeatable scripts its a life saver knowing the command will probably still work in a few months / years.

I hadn't heard about podman, will definitely check it out
