[Talk-pt] Portugal - OSM Community

[Oana-Alexandra Pop]

Hello Portugal OSM Community,

Alexandra Pop here, Map Production Specialist for Bolt
<https://bolt.eu/pt-pt/> and I am happy to introduce our company, our
mission and, most importantly, our mapping objectives in Portugal. As you
were informed previously through this post
<https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-pt/2021-March/001944.html>
by my colleague Murad Vardzelyan we are improving OSM data for Lisbon, it
is time to update you regarding our activities.

We believe that most trips in the city don’t require the use of a personal
car. At Bolt, we’re building a future in which people are no longer forced
to buy a car to get around. Where people have the freedom to use
transportation on demand, choosing whatever vehicle is best for each
occasion -  including ride-hailing, shared cars and scooters, and food and
grocery delivery.

Building a sustainable future is a goal Bolt and OSM have in common. Just
like we care about our customers’ needs, people who contribute to OSM care
about their communities' prosperity. OSM members create more than maps,
they design a vital tool to improve the quality of life of the community.

Accordingly, where there is an active OSM community, there is good data
coverage. In turn, it means that we can provide better services that make
OSM a valuable part of data we use, along with other open and proprietary
data sources. Bolt thrives for synergetic interaction with the OSM
community. Being passive users of the data is not an aspiration we share,
as well as tailoring an already well-functioning ecosystem of OSM to
erroneous ends. Instead, we are willing to assist the community and become
a part of it by resolving certain set of issues, such as improving road
configuration, adding missing roads, one ways and turn restrictions,
updates for points of interest, along with others.


Members of our Map Production Team are experienced OSM members who have
profound knowledge of working principles of OSM and proficient editing
skills that allow them to take delicate actions in compliance with
community agreements.

Nowadays, for Portugal, Bolt operates in Algarve
