That’s interesting, thanks for the links! Though seems both are dormant based on activity no? So they could be asked to let this project use the name possibly!

Edit: but of course it’s a hassle and a source for a lot of confusion at the same time I guess.

I liked your suggestion quite a lot and came up with alternative based on it (the two words staying the same):

CartoUnity

There’s MapLibre - a fork of Mapbox before it went full commercial

That’s a cool suggestion, you should post that in the original thread so people see it too!

Edited my top level comment as per rules ill add my reasoning separately:

Just throwing my idea out here, please don’t roast me alive. I really like comaps, but I understand that was already in use somewhere?

may seem random, but all the cool options were already in the matrix chat like ROAM, Cosmos, etc

Community Driven Maps

Edit: I can’t search the matrix chat but I hope the other people who also suggested really cool names pitch in here!

Thanks! Should have simply made a post with a link instead of crosspost to raise awareness of the original post.

Me too, I really like it! The matrix group of the community volunteers gives me hope that we can continue to use it under better licensing.

We share a small amount of hope that the shareholders of OM give up the trademark of the name, but sadly I don’t think it will happen.

Btw please share your name ideas in the original thread! I crossposted the post to raise awareness, but only the names in Original post are being voted on.

Thanks! To be honest I had no idea what is the best way to raise awareness, so I opted for crossposting. Linking the community might have been a better idea.

Here’s a bit of context: https://sopuli.xyz/post/25540134

Organic Maps is an awesome FOSS mobile map application, it’s being forked because the shareholders of the company that “owns” Organic Maps haven’t been very transparent.

Sadly this is also already in use (the positive news is that it’s also a FLOSS project!).

openatlas.eu

Damn, the cartography enthusiast in me really likes this one.

Please share it in the original post that I crossposted as well! Will vote for that one.

I just wanted to spread awareness by crossposting, please comment your suggestions in the original thread.

In case someone needs context: Organic Maps was forked by its community awhile ago due to the shareholders not being entirely transparent. Full context: https://sopuli.xyz/post/25540134

That’s why I’m also always trying to push the benefits of open data/source/etc onto my employers. It sometimes works too.

It’s up to us as individuals to also make a fuss about this stuff here in EU. I love EU but I’m not blindly trusting every corpo that’s from EU.

Choose local (in our case European/EU), but not blindly and naively.

Agreed! And communities where people participate are really needed - new users are often met with “news communities” which can be depressing if your whole feed consists of bad news.

Cool idea! And yeah we have already some similar communities:

!dailymaths@lemmy.world (bit quiet)

!dailygames@lemmy.zip

But not any for riddles specifically I think.

!moomin@sopuli.xyz, find them while they are hot

Oh right, pineapple is also a mod on OM. Good idea, hope we’ll hear from them soon!
