Hi,
I guess we have (as so often) a problem with unconscious cultural bias
here. Property rights in Europe are generally much more limited than in
the US, e.g. in all but one(?) German states all forests are by law public
access, regardless of ownership. Also open farmland, meadows, etc.,

Hi,
I tried to add the German Consulate General in Boston, MA, but could not
find the address "Three Copley Place, Boston, MA 02116" in
our data. That place is apparently somewhere near Boston University.
Anyone local who could check if this is a missing street name in our
data?

Hi,
I just noticed that the Southern California Linux Expo 2019 in Pasadena
will have an "Open Data" track. That looks like a good opportunity to
raise awareness about OpenStreetMap, so if someone would like to do a
presentation, the CfP is at https://www.socallinuxexpo.org/scale/17x/cfp

Hi,
it looks to me that this discussion is going in circles, not forward
at the moment. IMHO it does not make a lot of sense to argue what might
be the true meaning of "trunk". Instead, we should concentrate on what
it should mean, document this meaning if we can agree on one and don't
worry to mu

Hi,
is there a known problem with tile updates for zoom level 12?
That zoom level is not updating for the area around Harlowton MT for
about two months now, despite marking tiles dirty several times
in the last 8 weeks.

Hello everyone,
I have recently come across a few runways in Montana that I could not
find any information about except the imagery. I tried to search for
these airfields on the FAA website, but without success (maybe I did
it wrong).
Any idea where to find out more?
Two examples would be here:

for the last two years I have been cleaning up TIGER data and adding
