Cool! I love the concept of Mobilizon, but the user experience has bitten me quite often. Gancio looks really nice!

Is now a bad time to pitch https://mapcomplete.org/surveillance ?
Bwa, we’ve had worse ;)
It is the abbreviation of OpenStreetMap.org, a crowdsourced map of the world. You’ve 100% sure already used the data of the project, in the form of Organic Maps, OsmAnd, the maps on Facebook, instagram en Whatsapp or Pokemon Go.
Also checkout !openstreetmap@lemmy.ml
There will never be ‘more momentum’ if you don’t build it. Just kick it off and host this person, others will follow.
I use maps for navigation (mostly OsmAnd) and improve OpenStreetMap with my self-made website (https://mapcomplete.org)
!openstreetmap@lemmy.ml - but that’s also because I helped to get it going during the first reddit-waves ;)
Do you feel like adding them into OpenStreetMap? If so, https://mapcomplete.org/surveillance makes it easy for you.
Ah, I was talking about desktop. Afaik this is not yet on mobile.
I’m using Fennec BTW
There is a (somewhat) active community here too: !openstreetmap@lemmy.ml
You can also try the webapp https://mapcomplete.org
FF local translations is already there in the stable releases. Just update!
Join our community: !openstreetmap@lemmy.ml
Also, you answered the question backwards, but I don’t mind XD
Look for a local hackerspace, they might have the right connections. Most of them have regular (often weekly) ‘social nights’ where you can hang out.
Https://Mapcomplete.osm.be/hackerspaces has an (incomplete) listing
Well, I’m doing my best to get the !openstreetmap@lemmy.ml community started. Once there is enough activity here, the critical mass becomes self-reinforcing and it takes off.
And it’s not as if all of Reddit will switch over right away - Twitter is still somewhat alive too; but Mastodon gained enough momentum now to actually matter and to be at a sustainable level.
Yes, it is a grant from NLNet: https://nlnet.nl/ - a small charity which basically redistributes EU-funds, but as they know the FLOSS-community very well, they can allocate money very efficiently.
I’m on such a grant too for my OpenStreetMap-editor
Because the northern hemisphere is mostly land mass and the southern hemisphere is mostly ocean. Land heats faster and cools faster than ocean, thus the seasonal effects are more pronounced in the data.
Same with CO2 patterns which gives a similar yearly ‘breathing effect’
