[OHM] 4/24 OHM meeting notes

[Sanjay Bhangar]

Jeff,

Thanks for the reminder before the meeting - it was great to catch up on
the project after a really long time!

It was pretty cool to relive some old memories of SOTM where a group was
working on setting up Overpass, etc. on the old server :) - to the series
of disasters we had, to the spectacular job Rob and co. have done over the
past years rescuing the system and then keeping the lights on.

The recent work on vector tile generation is super exciting - being able to
see that working seems to open up so many possibilities on frontends for
the data.

Am really excited to see this release come along and some of these features
come through - huge props to everyone who's continued to work on this and
looking forward to the upcoming release.

I shall try and join meetings and be involved if I can, but otherwise I'll
be cheering from the sidelines -

All the best,
Sanjay
