OSM Teams is a tool for creating teams and roles in the [#OpenStreetMap](https://en.osm.town/tags/OpenStreetMap) ecosystem for management of groups and communities to organize around existing tools like Tasking Manager, OSMCha, or iD, and improves collaboration. \- Found or find a team: [https://mapping.team/teams](https://mapping.team/teams) \- Video demo: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GSa4IWxZz4g](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GSa4IWxZz4g) cc: [@openstreetmap](https://lemmy.ml/c/openstreetmap) [#OSMTeams](https://en.osm.town/tags/OSMTeams)

@bbbhltz Are you maybe referring to this blog post about capturing all the streets of Brussels in 360° pictures?

@Mannivu @Cris_Color Indeed. I didn’t expect that… Sorry for the mess.
[\#OpenStreetMap](https://en.osm.town/tags/OpenStreetMap) Belgium’s Mapper of the Month [#MotM](https://en.osm.town/tags/MotM) is [@joost\_schouppe](https://en.osm.town/@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](https://en.osm.town/tags/OSMF) board member, for leading the Belgian community chapter, or being a very active mapper. Read the interview at [https://openstreetmap.be/en/motm/2023/08/01/joost-schouppe.html](https://openstreetmap.be/en/motm/2023/08/01/joost-schouppe.html). cc: [@openstreetmap](https://lemmy.ml/c/openstreetmap)
Interesting paper from [#MDPI](https://en.osm.town/tags/MDPI) about “Mapping with [#ChatGPT](https://en.osm.town/tags/ChatGPT)” concludes it delivers unique advantages, such as: \- lowering the barrier to producing maps \- boosting the efficiency of massive map production \- and understanding geographical space with its spatial thinking capability. Limitations cited are: \- its unequal benefits for different users (need to have some expertise already) \- and necessary user intervention for quality control.

@CjkOvPDwQW In short, it’s not correct, because the node is not associated to the way that is controlled. See “How to map on the wiki”: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:highway=speed%20camera?uselang=en. The simple method is a node part of the way (to represent the existence of a control at that place). The more advanced is an isolated node (for the physical location of the camera) but make it part of a three-node relation to represent the direction of the control and link it to the way.
A nice comprehensive post explaining why State of the Map Conferences [#SotM](https://en.osm.town/tags/SotM) are so important to [#OpenStreetMap](https://en.osm.town/tags/OpenStreetMap): [https://blog.openstreetmap.org/2023/07/07/why-state-of-the-map-conferences-are-so-important-to-osm/](https://blog.openstreetmap.org/2023/07/07/why-state-of-the-map-conferences-are-so-important-to-osm/) Already attended one?
