@craxiom's open source Network Survey app has added built-in support for uploading to both #OpenCellID and BeaconDB!

If you're looking to do some comprehensive local data collection, give it a try: https://www.networksurvey.app/

Have you ever collected data for #OpenCellID #MozillaLocationService #WiGLE or #BeaconDB ?

Please retoot!

The latest version of #TowerCollector includes built-in support for BeaconDB, replacing the now defunct MLS server by default!

If you'd like to support offline, private by default geolocation, how about collecting cell tower data for the #OpenCellID (CC-BY dumps) and #BeaconDB (planned CC0 dumps) projects?

@Cappyjax I've been using #TowerCollector so far to contribute to #OpenCellID (and previously #MLS). I wonder whether they'll add #BeaconDB support?

EDIT: it's already supported as custom configured MLS service.

2. OONI Probe is an Android and Windows app from the Tor Project that collects Internet censorship data. The tool checks if websites or services are censored for you and publishes this data. This way you can globally track internet censorship.

Even if you're not a developer, give back to the #opensource community. I do it by getting people to install #linux and explaining why it's a viable #os. Also, I run #streetcomplete which provides various data elements to the #openstreetmap project, enhancing their mapping. It's full of quests that earn you points. Install #towercollector to contribute to the #opencellid and #mozilla projects. All are available on #fdroid. And always send error/crash reports for any #foss software you use.

If you're on #Android, you're lucky. The #Keypadmapper app is the perfect app to help you adding addresses and house numbers into #OpenStreetMap. Check out https://osm.org/wiki/KeypadMapper , including the version from Enaikoon, which collects base station cell id for #OpenCellID
