Maptober is here.
The OSMF Local Chapters and Communities Working Group is running a 31 Day OSM Challenge: a daily theme to improve OpenStreetMap. Inspired by #30DayMapChallenge, but you end up with edits instead of maps. We all build on this data, so happy to see people improving it. #OpenStreetMap #Maptober

Even if you don't create maps follow along with #30DayMapChallenge for some inspiration and fun! Telling stories with maps. #histodons #mapping @map_enthusiasts @histodons @genealogy #genealogy
The daily themes for the 2026 #30DayMapChallenge are out! 🗺️
I’m already mapping in OSM via the #31DayOSMChallenge and now I am already thinking of maps to create for next month. A good recipe for burnout if you ask me. 😬
Day 10 is the dreaded AI-related theme. Not yet sure how I will tackle this one.
The 2026 #30DayMapChallenge themes are out!
The challenge runs through November, with a theme for each day. Make a map for the themes that interest you and share it on whatever platform you use with #30DayMapChallenge.

Maptober is here! We invite #OpenStreetMap mappers everywhere to take part in the 31 Day OSM Challenge.
Inspired by the #30DayMapChallenge that happens every November, this new challenge gives you a daily theme to improve OpenStreetMap. Just complete the day’s task, tag your changesets with #31DayOSMChallenge and #Maptober hashtags, and share your edits on social media if you like.

Looking back at this map, an itch needed to be scratched. I created it as part of the 2024 #30DayMapChallenge and so I didn’t really have time to polish it.
So spending an hour here and there over the past couple of days, I rearranged the map layout, improved the clock display 🕑️ (converted it from #HTML5 Canvas to SVG), and added play/pause ⏯️ and reset ↩️ controls. I think the map definitely looks prettier now! 🗺️

I’m kinda interested in making a poster for this year’s #SotM, but I have very few ideas on what to make.
Or maybe I can just rehash one of my earlier #30DayMapChallenge maps.
The last time I ever created a SotM poster was in 2010 and you can (kinda) see it here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/28698126@N02/4795340642/

@chu (this then off the intent of your question but there is then stuff like the @openstreetmap which also provides an interesting map resource for features and names https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=6/47.42/20.92.
Just to get a plug in here, here are some examples of #DataVisualisation from the #30DayMapChallenge which shows what you can draw with this date, if nothing else
https://anisotropi4.github.io/shed/30daymapchallenge.html)
@joeldn this is a bit sketchy but there are a couple of examples here:
https://fosstodon.org/@wnd/115484726949074623
(There are bunch more of these at different scale which I should publish in a more structured way.
Also, if you are interested in such things here are some other things in my #Shed for the #30DayMapChallenge

At #SOTMUS2026, take a visual tour of Madison through the lens of OpenStreetMap with Stephen Kennedy. Based on the #30DayMapChallenge and a forthcoming book, this session highlights several maps of our host city—discussing at least 3 or 4 in depth (and mentioning the other 46 very, very quickly!). He’ll dive into how OSM data powers visualizations.

When there was a sudden empty slot in our #sotmeu25 schedule, Topi Tjukanov stepped forward and talked about the #30DayMapChallenge that happens each November.

While I love the #30DayMapChallenge, I couldn't fit it in my schedule last year. I like the idea of making for-fun-maps based on fixed themes. So I created a list of 52 subjects for myself to use over the course of this year to create maps that I can share. You can find it on https://52maps.org, or you can follow @52maps. If you want you can join me and share your for-fun-maps using #52maps.
For what it's worth, I've updated my shed https://anisotropi4.github.io/shed/30daymapchallenge.html with links to the data used and published a register of data and associated licenses used in talks and visualisations https://anisotropi4.github.io/shed/opendata.html

Inspired by @kamapu map for day 16 of #30DayMapChallenge and playing with the amazing {isocubes} by @coolbutuseless I decided to do an spatial introduction.
I'm from León, a province in the NW of Spain. Here is where I was born and raised and where after some time I got my BSc in Biology.

This year's #30DayMapChallenge was a bit challenging due to my activities in November: 9 concerts, teaching, trips to Algeria and Morocco... Read the new blog on the #QWAST website on how I made each map. www.qwast-gis.com/l/30daymapch...

@seanhood is it any good?

В 2023 у QEMU был забавный advent-календарь со странными виртуалками https://qemu-advent-calendar.org/2023
В этом году SadServers порадовал, устроив свой для сисадминов https://sadservers.com/advent (к стыду пока не смог решить первое задание -_-)
Профессиональные картографы в декабре отдыхают после ноябрьского #30DayMapChallenge Осмеры пока до своего адвента не дошли :(
Потратить что ли декабрь на OSM Wrapped™ 🤔 А то глядя на очередные разноцветные скриншоты итогов Яндекс.Музыки хочется сделать что-то ламповое
For those interested in such things, I've written up all my #Fosstodon social media toots with visualisations for the #30DayMapChallenge here https://anisotropi4.github.io/shed/30daymapchallenge with some commentary.
I have to thank the people who commented and liked this, and for all the organisations who publish #OpenData and #OpenSource who make this possible. I just need to not draw another map for a bit.
TL;DR some people liked it and I learnt some stuff. Maybe that's enough.
