[OSM-talk] OSM based map of Hackerspaces

[Rory McCann]

Hi all,

Hackerspaces (http://hackerspaces.org/wiki/Hackerspaces) are
community-operated physical places, where people can meet and work on
their projects. Most important cities have one. Unfortunately, despite
being big on openness, and freedom, the hackerspaces website uses Google
maps (eg: http://hackerspaces.org/wiki/List_of_Hacker_Spaces).

You can tag hackerspaces in OSM with leisure=hackerspace (
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:leisure%3Dhackerspace ). I've
created an OSM slippy map of the hackerspaces we have in the database: (
http://technomancy.org/osm-hackerspaces/ ).

We currently only have 4 in the database. If you're involved with the
hackerspace movement try to add your own.

How this map is generated:
