OpenStreetMap State of the Map 2026

In 2026, the annual State of the Map conference will be held in Paris, France, both in person and online. This event brings together mappers and OpenStreetMap users from around the world to share their knowledge and collaborate on improving the free, editable map of the world. The three-day conference will feature a variety of talks, workshops, and discussion rounds.

Attendees can connect with one another through Matrix or Telegram chat rooms, as well as follow the conference's social media channels on platforms like Mastodon. To participate in the live streams, those with a Venueless ticket should use the link provided in their ticket to access the interactive page with streaming options, the ability to ask questions, and break-out rooms.

If you would like to support the OpenStreetMap project, donations can be made through their donation page. The conference is supported by companies like TomTom and Michelin, who recognize the value of open mapping in advancing technology and sustainability.

  • Two tabs overwrite same note, first tab's content vanishes
  • GET request returns 200 with note text and ETag
  • PUT request updates note if IF-Match header matches ETag

Dev Collective

I'd like to find a group, ideally on Slack, where serious devs work semi-together on side-projects. They use the same AI Agents, MCPs, and similar tech stacks.
