Mapping in OSM is rooted in community. We have been working closely with YouthMappers over the past year to help them organize diverse groups of mappers around the world. With this collaboration, we have been able to expand on OSM Teams’ vision to become a central place for groups of mappers in OpenStreetMap. OSM Teams lets you connect various applications like the Tasking Manager or OSMCha to the API, allowing you to manage your groups in a single place and synchronize them across the OSM ecosystem. OSM Teams can thus act as a social API glue layer for all OSM tools. We will present the newest updates to OSM Teams including a UI refresh, more granular privacy controls and various new features to manage and organize teams of mappers.
