Show HN: Map2Image – Download Beautiful City Maps
These maps look great! Reminds me of a project I saw a long time ago [1]. Glad you made this downloadable for everyone who cannot write code.
P.S.: Now, I also have some (birthday) presents ;-)

Geovisualization test with OSM map data and matplotib for styling
Great work! I love osmnx, it's such a nice library. I remember using it at school to work out distance from fire stations across my city. There's this nice library that uses it called prettymaps, I've been meaning to take some time with it to do some sweet posters.

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!
