Buenas, para la gente que usáis y/o contribuís con #OpenStreetMap, me gustaría saber si tenéis opiniones sobre la controversia de #OrganicMaps que ha terminado en la escisión en #CoMaps (ambas opciones con cuentas aquí como la etiqueta).

He leído la carta abierta (1) y sus actualizaciones hasta hoy. Así como la info en las cuentas. Y no termino de tener todo claro. Aparte de la pena de que pasen cosas así en estos proyectos.

Si no me he perdido mucho, de los tres socios hay uno que estaría por la labor de lo que se pide en la carta y que parece que ha tomado el control del repositorio y de la cuenta en Fosstodon. Pero mientras el fork sigue adelante.

Lo del fork parece razonable. Pero claro, el problema en estos casos es no disponer de mucha más información.

¿Qué pensáis? 🤔

💡 Résilience 🚀 : ce terme est inscrit dans l'ADN 🧬 des #LogicielsLibres.

Il y a quelques années, les directions prises par le projet #MapsMe avaient créé des discordes 💔, ce qui avait débouché sur un fork 🔀 nommé #OrganicMaps.

Aujourd'hui, #OrganicMaps rencontre des soucis de transparence et de gouvernance 💼, entrainant à son tour un fork 🔀, baptisé @CoMaps.

⚠️ Si, dès le départ, #MapsMe avait été un logiciel propriétaire, tout le monde aurait été pieds et poings liés ⛓️.

Forks : Maps.Me > Organic Maps > CoMaps

So I've been giving Organic Maps another try and it's like... not as bad as it felt the first few times around. Its not the most intuitive but it pretty much maps me correctly (actually sometimes better than Magic Maps.) I would not prob recommend for ppl who struggle with tech but for lightly skilled ppl (like me) is fine.

I mean, the TTS is laughably bad at least for the recommended TTS app but robot Scottish is growing on me so yeah. And no traffic info totally suuuuuuuucks but eh, I sort of like the FOSS thing.

But serioz can I get traffic alerts? Pls?

There's fork of #organicmaps that took place after some disagreement on it's organisational structure.

I hope both teams, even so being independent, can contribute to their code in ways it's beneficial for both apps, so that workload is reduced.

Really hoping to see better outdoor planning capabilities to come with @CoMaps

🗺️ Open Letter to Organic Maps Shareholders

「 The Organic Maps project has been built and promoted under the premise of being an open community project, so it's troubling to discover that the majority of shareholders consider it to be their sole property. More concerns include lack of transparency and accountability in project governance and violation of stated Free and Open Source Software values 」

Just discovered Organic Maps! 🌍 This open-source app offers worldwide offline maps, privacy-focused navigation (no tracking, ads, or data collection), and features like cycling routes, hiking trails, & voice-guided turns. Faster than Google Maps.#OrganicMaps #OpenSource #PrivacyMatters

Es gibt eine relativ neue "Kompakt"-Übersicht über #OpenStreetMap vom @FOSSGISeV openstreetmap.de/nutzen/mobil. Es fehlen noch ein paar Querverlinkungen*, ansonsten sehr gelungen. Mir war z.B. die verlinkte Dienstleister-Übersicht neu dienstleister.fossgis.de/liste

*z.B. dass man mit #OsmAnd & #OrganicMaps auch bearbeiten ✍️ kann openstreetmap.de/beitragen "Mit dem #Smartphone" 👉 openstreetmap.de/beitragen/sma 👉 openstreetmap.de/nutzen/mobil bzw. von hier openstreetmap.de/beitragen/bea auf "mobil" (dort etwas prominenter erwähnt)

@mfuhrmann The Android app worked pretty well for me long as I stayed close to home, but when I tried to get directions to a location in New York it wanted to direct me to West 13th Street in West Chester PA instead and didn't offer me the option to download maps for New York or the Jersey turnpike in between.

Une lettre ouverte de contributeurs actifs d' #OrganicMaps expriment des inquiétudes concernant la gouvernance du projet et la possibilité que les intérêts des actionnaires ne priment sur ceux de la communauté.

Les signataires réclament :

- Une transformation du projet vers une structure à but non lucratif.

- Plus d’inclusivité dans la prise de décision.

- Une transparence financière et organisationnelle

Ils menacent de créer un fork #CoMaps

Open Letter to Organic Maps Shareholders

Summary

Community contributors to Organic Maps have expressed serious concerns about the project's governance, transparency, and the potential for shareholder profit at the expense of the community. They are calling for a shift to a nonprofit structure, greater inclusivity in decision-making, and financial transparency, and are considering starting a new project if these issues are not addressed.

When #PublicTransport navigation fails in #organicmaps, the old, reliable #Osmand comes to the rescue.

It doesn't have live timetables, which you may find in #GMaps, but the routes and stops are reliable, thanks to #OpenStreetMap contributors.
A screenshot of two apps: OrganicMaps and OsmAnd, while trying to determine the available public transport options.
