OSM Teams is a tool for creating teams and roles in the #OpenStreetMap ecosystem for management of groups and communities to organize around existing tools like Tasking Manager, OSMCha, or iD, and improves collaboration.

Not clear yet what the concrete benefits are, but it’s worth noting #OpenStreetMap has been registered as a “Digital Public Good” by the Digital Public Goods Alliance (#DPGA), which is a multi-stakeholder United Nations-endorsed initiative. https://blog.openstreetmap.org/2024/02/05/osm-named-as-a-digital-public-good-by-un-affiliated-agency/

@Mannivu @Cris_Color Indeed. I didn’t expect that… Sorry for the mess.
\#OpenStreetMap Belgium’s Mapper of the Month #MotM is @joost\_schouppe.
If the name sounds familiar to you, it might be for many reasons. It could be for his past involvement as OpenStreetMap Foundation #OSMF board member, for leading the Belgian community chapter, or being a very active mapper.
Read the interview at https://openstreetmap.be/en/motm/2023/08/01/joost-schouppe.html.

Interesting paper from #MDPI about “Mapping with #ChatGPT” concludes it delivers unique advantages, such as: \- lowering the barrier to producing maps \- boosting the efficiency of massive map production \- and understanding geographical space with its spatial thinking capability.
Limitations cited are: \- its unequal benefits for different users (need to have some expertise already) \- and necessary user intervention for quality control.

For this #OpenStreetMap Belgium’s Mapper of the Month #MotM entry, the spotlight is on Michel Hebert from #Grenoble, France: https://openstreetmap.be/en/motm/2023/07/01/michel-hebert.html. He will probably be known by the people following @OsmGrenoble.
