As already announced in 2. Virtual OpenStreetMap Stammtisch Austria, the second OpenStreetMap Stammtisch Austria will take place virtually on September 9, 2021 at https://play. workadventu.re/@/osm-at/osm-virtueller-stammtisch-osterreich/openstreetmapvirtueller-stammtisch

Very interesting discussions took place. At the beginning, the participants familiarized themselves with the virtual area.

The question from talk.at about BEV data was taken up as the first OpenStreetMap discussion contribution. It was discovered that the key addr:suburb returns the delivery area.

In this context, scrubbx presented the address register https://www.adressregister.at/adressregister/

On the last day, some visitors took OSM mugs from us in return for a small donation. We are always pleased when people are willing to support the OSM association in this way. Many thanks to the many donors.
