Stars - the number of stars that a project has on GitHub. Growth - month over month growth in stars.
Activity is a relative number indicating how actively a project is being developed. Recent commits have higher weight than older ones.
For example, an activity of 9.0 indicates that a project is amongst the top 10% of the most actively developed projects that we are tracking.

The current state of map design in OpenStreetMap
I wouldn't compare osm-website and osm-carto at all. The commit logs are very different.
openstreetmap-website: https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/commi... . Numerous commits most days.
openstreetmap-carto: https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/commits . So far in 2024; one small regression fixed, one niche bit of tagging added to an existing style, some largely pointless code style tidying. That's it.

Organizing OpenStreetMap Mapping Parties
Contributing is simple:
1. When you see a trail or any other feature that doesn't appear on the map, take a picture.
2. When you get home, visit https://www.openstreetmap.org and start drawing.
The website has satellite images overlayed wirh map data, so it's easy to see what you are doing.
You can look at your pictures to remind yourself of what was missing.
If you have recorded your ride,you can also upload your GPX trace to OpenStreetMap to make it easier to trace features that don't show up clearly on satellite images.

The Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, Maryland Has Collapsed
What impressed me was that it looks like openstreetmap shows the bridge as down already.

Open source at Fastly is getting opener
Through the Fast Forward program, we give free services and support to open source projects and the nonprofits that support them. We support many of the world’s top programming languages (like Python, Rust, Ruby, and the wonderful Scratch), foundational technologies (cURL, the Linux kernel, Kubernetes, OpenStreetMap), and projects that make the internet better and more fun for everyone (Inkscape, Mastodon, Electronic Frontier Foundation, Terms of Service; Didn’t Read).

2024: The year of the OpenStreetMap vector maps
Way overdue. OpenStreetMap's website at openstreetmap.org is its calling card, and for the past few years the default style shown (called Carto) has all but stagnated in development. Accepted features like highway=busway (introduced three years ago) are not rendered there because the maintainers can no longer be bothered, or dislike the tag personally despite broad community backing.
What worries me for this new effort is that Paul Norman is one of the two remaining Carto sometimes-active maintainers who refuse to merge contributed PRs or even provide alternative minimal support for features like highway=busway, leading to awkward gaps on the baseline map shown on openstreetmap.org.
I would love to be surprised in a positive way about this new effort, but I'm not holding my hopes up. Thankfully OpenStreetMap can be thoroughly useful in apps like OsmAnd and OrganicMaps, and the tile-based Tracestrack Topo layer on openstreetmap.org is getting quite decent:

Ask HN: Open-source projects that do something good for the world?
https://www.hotosm.org/tools-and-data runs software that's used for example after an earthquake. The tasking manager specifically is a reactjs app plus postgresql with plenty of open issues. HOTOSM has full-time staff, I'm not sure if the developers are full-time, but it's more organized than a volunteer project.
https://github.com/openstreetmap/openstreetmap-website/ is Ruby on Rails (easy installable with a docker setup). The maintainers have trouble even reviewing incoming PRs so an experienced person who can triage, test, review is currently needed.
If you're in the US then https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_for_America might be worth having a look at.
https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/ will soon annouce vetted organizations who do open source. (last year https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/programs/2023/organizati...). Project are paid, the process is long though, all summer. https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/timeline

CRT Manufacturing
> 9450 S. W. Barns Rd
Portlandians: Are Barns Rd and Barnes Rd the same thing? Looks like a nice spot if so: https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=18/45.50901/-122.77468
That building is now a SFX agency: https://hellohinge.com/ (No relation to the dating app)
Also curious if the TEKsystems employment agency next door took its name from Tektronix.

Waterway Map
Yes, https://www.openstreetmap.org has quite inconsistent detail as it relies on people mapping stuff.
And help is welcome, anyone can join and help with mapping!

Happy Birthday OpenStreetMap
https://f-droid.org/packages/com.graphhopper.maps/
Unlike most OSM apps it requires an internet connection but has the advantage of an address search with auto complete and alternative routes.
Or use the website https://graphhopper.com/maps/ (disclaimer: I'm one of the founders of GraphHopper)
Both come with a custom model editor (gear button in the top left) where you can tweak the routing preferences to your liking like prefering more the official bike routes or more elevation avoidance or a slower speed etc.

Anything you wish there was an open source solution for?
https://graphhopper.com/maps/ is an amazing product that is open source, but it just does routing (with GPX download). I wish it had a little PostGIS data browser that I could write into via routes I draw on the map, or I upload (or import from other devices using something like GarminDB or similar). That, and adding arbitrary points, would be great. Just a simple, general-purpose map authoring tool. I just feel like I'm missing something, it seems like this would exist already.

A software that will plan the most efficient routes for visiting address from my work location
Graphhopper. It has an Android client that uses its web service. You can also try out the web app.

Privacy Respecting Route Planner
Yes. Try it out at https://graphhopper.com/maps/

The New GraphHopper Maps Route Planner
Open Source. The routing server is open source too and geocoding too.

Asking for the obvious...
GraphHopper might be an option as well.

What routing tools/software do you like to plan tours?
I'm always on the lookout in this category. I prefer the KISS principle and avoid subscription bleeds. Recently found GraphHopper with a web interface and a Droid app.

Is it possible to get turn by turn directions on a Linux laptop
There is even an experimental in-browser turn-by-turn navigation feature, which you can use with your local graphhopper service, but on a laptop you probably have no GPS and you have to use it from a phone (see the identical f-droid app for this purpose).
What are some alternatives?
Traccar - Traccar GPS Tracking System
Graphhopper - Open source routing engine for OpenStreetMap. Use it as Java library or standalone web server.
OsmAnd - OsmAnd
photon - an open source geocoder for openstreetmap data
littlenavmap - Little Navmap is a free flight planner, navigation tool, moving map, airport search and airport information system for Flight Simulator X, Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020, Prepar3D and X-Plane.
Router5 - Flexible and powerful universal routing solution
OwnTracks Recorder - Store and access data published by OwnTracks apps
planetiler - Flexible tool to build planet-scale vector tilesets from OpenStreetMap data fast
uMap - uMap lets you create maps with OpenStreetMap layers in a minute and embed them in your site.
universal-router - A simple middleware-style router for isomorphic JavaScript web apps
