Everything #OpenStreetMap related is welcome: software releases, showing of your work, questions about how to tag something, as long as it has to do with OpenStreetMap or OpenStreetMap-related software.
OpenStreetMap is a map of the world, created by people like you and free to use under an open license.
Join OpenStreetMap and start mapping: https://www.openstreetmap.org.
There are many communication channels about OSM, many organized around a certain country or region. Discover them on https://openstreetmap.community
https://mapcomplete.org is an easy-to-use website to view, edit and add points (such as shops, restaurants and others)
https://learnosm.org/en/ has a lot of information for beginners too.

MODERATORS
Six years ago today we launched https://openbenches.org/ - it is a crowdsourced map of memorial benches from around the world.
Uses OSM for displaying the maps and letting uploaders pick the exact right spot.
There's an API and data-dump so it can be incorporated into OSM - but our data isn't always as precise as needed. I'm still trying to work out a way to map an OSM bench ID to our ID.
If you're out mapping and spot a memorial bench, please do submit a geotagged photo to our site :-)
