osm-community-index

💬 An index of community resources for OpenStreetMap.

• View the map of OpenStreetMap communities: https://openstreetmap.community
• Or search and filter the community resources: https://community.osm.be/

What is it?

This project is a list of resources for users of OpenStreetMap.

"Resources" can be links to forums, meetups, Slack groups, IRC channels, mailing lists, and so on. Anything that mappers, especially beginners, might find interesting or helpful.

About the index

tl;dr

To add your community resource to the index:

• Add resource .json files under the resources/ folder
  • Each file contains info about what the resource is (slack, forum, mailinglist, facebook, etc.)
  • Each file also contains info about which locations the resource is active. The locations can be country or region codes, points, or custom .geojson files in the features/* folder.
  • You can copy and change an existing file to get started.
• run npm run test
  • This will check the files for errors and make them pretty.
  • If you don't have Node installed, you can skip this step and we will do it for you.
• If there are no errors, submit a pull request.

Source files

The source files for this index are stored in two kinds of files:

• Under resources/ there are .json files to describe the community resources
• Under features/ there are custom .geojson files

👉 See CONTRIBUTING.md for full details about how to add a community resource to this index.

Distributed Files

Several files are published under dist/. These are generated - do not edit them.

• resources.json - A JSON object containing only the community resources
• featureCollection.json - A GeoJSON FeatureCollection containing only the custom Features
• completeFeatureCollection.json - A GeoJSON FeatureCollection of all Features, each with available resources included in a resources property.
• img/* - SVG logos for all the resource types

🧐: "Why use .json instead of .geojson as the file extension for generated GeoJSON files?"
🤓: "So you can require or import them as modules into other JavaScript code if you want."
