🧵 Sharing some developments in the #OpenStreetMap #Delhi community. #India

I wasn't sure if I wanted to share this story with the world, but here we go. On the 1st of May, I was beaten up by a crowd while I was out on an #OpenStreetMap survey in Mandāwali, #Delhi, #India. 1/

On the train ride back from Patna (#BiharFOSS), @Ravi Dwivedi and I sardonically thanked Trump for the state of things in the US, which may have been why #GitHub disabled the #OrganicMaps repo and forced them to move to #FreedomRespecting #Codeberg. "This will hopefully teach people why it's important to boycott #proprietary platforms. But why do people always wait around for such things to pass? #FreeSoftware activists had been warning them for like 10 years!" (Also...Sourceforge???) #OpenStreetMap

Another happy landing. Or - another mappy workshop 😇 I look @#₹%ing gross in the photos, but I'm really satisfied with how this workshop went 😀

Also, thanks to @The Prāv Cooperative for sponsoring the travel costs. My official role at the conference was to help with the Prav talk and table 🙂 1/ #OpenStreetMap #BiharFOSS
