Roland Olbricht
I'm drolbr as a mapper and volunteer to develop software for OpenStreetMap since 2008. I'm best known for the software Overpass API. But I'm also interested in mapping for public transit and pedestrian routing. In addition, I'm at the moment serving in the Engineering Working Group and as a member of the OpenStreetMap Foundation's board.
For a day job I'm developing software for public transit. While my employer and our customers profit a lot from OpenStreetMap, my actual job is doing the software for ticket vending.
Sessions
The OpenStreetMap Foundation owns the OpenStreetMap hardware and trademarks.
It uses money to keep the platform running.
However, the income of the Foundation does not meet its current spending level. In this workshop we ask the attendants as members of the OpenStreetMap community for advice.
The Overpass API allows for queries for interesting or special data of the OpenStreetMap data.
Recent issues and their likelihood to be implemented are presented: compliance with data redactions, fair quotas, and resilience to disk failures.
Bring in your questions about Overpass API and how to query OpenStreetMap data.
