How do I learn about future OpenStreetMap events?
Glad you asked! We have a few different options.
Jabber/XMPP
People in the OpenStreetMap India Jabber/XMPP channel are the first to know about future events. It's also a great place to meet other OpenStreetMap contributors, ask questions, and exchange knowledge.
Install Quicksy (Play Store/App Store/F-Droid) or Prāv (Play Store/F-Droid), then click this link - osm-in@conference.a3.pm
Jabber/XMPP is like WhatsApp or Telegram, but it's trustworthy āzād software, ad-free, and AI-free. It's also federated, which means it doesn't lock you in to one app or service.
Mastodon (Fediverse)
You can check out photos of past OSM India events, and get notified of future events on the OSM India Mastodon page.
Mastodon is a microblogging platform - it's like Twitter, but community-owned, ad-free, algorithm-free, trustworthy āzād software, and has much nicer users. It's federated and part of the Fediverse , which means it doesn't lock you in to one app or service.
