Depending on the number of folks, that could be over a beverage or a meal. Join our ‘cafe’ chat room if that sounds interesting and we’ll plan it there. Find details on how to join here: https://codeberg.org/comaps#keep-connected

By the total number of edits made, CoMaps was the 15th most used #OpenStreetMap editor in June.
At first glance, that might not sound like a lot, but: With that, we are the #1 OSM editor that is not mainly an editor but a fully fledged map & navigation app and also editor!
From the start we have said that we want CoMaps to be a good citizen of the larger OSM ecosystem and make sure that we and our users contribute back. And it looks like you’re all making good on that!
