AGIT 2018: Day 2

New day, new visitors!

Not quite, we were also able to welcome many interested visitors from yesterday again today. This resulted in many exciting discussions and conversations, including with HERE.

Particularly exciting for me were the conversations with visitors who want to join the OpenStreetmap project, yes, there are still non-mappers.

We had ongoing conversations with both mappers and OpenStreetMap users. We were told about experiences with the map material from all over the world. We were delighted that most users noted very good coverage, which in some places was clearly different from commercial providers. This showed us that OpenStreetMap data is increasingly being accessed, especially in African areas. At this point, I would like to pass on the praise to all mappers who are doing a really great job and without whose commitment OpenStreetMap would not be possible.

Furthermore, there were many questions about 3D modelling, extracting hiking trails from OSM data and modelling for routing tasks. We were also very pleased to receive enquiries from companies that want to make their products open source and want to know exactly how to do this. This shows us that there is also interest in making our own developments available to the community.
