#fossback — Public Fediverse posts

The OpenStreetMap Community

"Over the last 20 years the OpenStreetMap (OSM) project has collected an enormous amount of data about our planet and written a lot of Open Source software. OSM-based maps and apps are everywhere. How do you organize two million contributors in a mostly volunteer project to work on a common goal? And what exactly is that common goal?"

Following on from yesterday's blog post about the new design for profiles coming in Mastodon 4.6... here is the video of @imanijoy recent talk at @fossdesign where they discuss the challenges and detailed thought that goes into the design of new features (and the redesign of existing ones). 🖌️#FOSSBack #Mastodon

Even at an extraordinarily smart event as #FOSSBackstage , people keep asking "Yeah but couldn't we do this [task that requires care, understanding and commitment] with generative AI?" and I am f*ing sick of it. If the task could not have been automated before the advent of "AI", then it should not be automated now. Just be a decent person put in the human work already! 😡

Gotta love #bUm , but once again the lack of power sockets in the lecture rooms is astounding. So you have to become creative. 😉
