Vector tiles for openstreetmap.org: Yesterday, the #OpenStreetMap Foundation (#OSMF) launched #vectortiles on #OSM, delivering a sharper and faster map powered by a new backend. Developers may use the OSMF-hosted tiles under the Vector Tile Usage Policy and apply their own map styles.

After doing a bunch of #gigwork #DoorDash and other odd jobs to pay for various/sundry requirements of TCC's nursing program, I had a bit of spare money left over for June. Closing June out by becoming a normal member of the Open Street Map Foundation for a year (and hopefully many more).

@openstreetmap Alas, while I have been an active contributor for a while, I have not been a Normal Member of the OSMF. Maybe next round :P In the meantime, I'll sign up as an OSMF Normal Member.

#osmf mailing list going nuclear today. Steve Coast has a, possibly unique, ability to trigger people even when he makes a reasonable point

And struck that use of nem. con. (https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/nem-con) would help in #OSMF AGM. Just as in many similar meetings.

Especially helpful when the meeting is on-line and slightly asynchronous because of typing speeds.

Not had much time to follow the #OSMF board election, but have voted nonetheless.

Still disappointed that formal statements from the board are not obviously available (chair's report) or very skimpy (treasurer's report). I believe these should be available before nominations for board candidates close.

I'm also still missing an agenda item for OSMF members to vote thanks for all who volunteer for the board, working groups etc. It's a simple thing, but it's surprisingly heartening for all.

#OpenStreetMap Belgium’s Mapper of the Month #MotM is @joost_schouppe.

If the name sounds familiar to you, it might be for many reasons. It could be for his past involvement as OpenStreetMap Foundation #OSMF board member, for leading the Belgian community chapter, or being a very active mapper.
