I will be doing a #osm workshop for my internal community. Currently, I have 97 people signed up already. What could you recommend as a first (edit) task for them?
I was thinking something from Maproulette, but any other ideas are welcomed. They are from around the world. #openstreetmap #gis
I think I already asked something similar a few weeks back, but isn't there a public site where I can fetch #Copernicus GLO-30 #DEM files with a simple http client anymore? I used to use `wget` for this, then it was AWS CLI, and now it seems I have to set it up with a user/pass/key/secret_key?
I remember cloning the whole mapzen repo when it was on peril of disappearing, should I have done the same with data that's supposed to be public? Has anyone done that already?

Used Python to quickly scrape megalithic.co.uk to get 75 prehistoric sites in Shetland, download shetland.gov.uk's paths and routes shapefiles, then upload them all to my phone with QField and an Thunderforest topo map...

So, who knows what's up in State College PA? I'll be visiting soon to speak at a #GIS conference, and would kinda like to see more than the conference center!
