[OSM-talk] Please help with name-suggestion-index project!

[Bryan Housel]

Hey OSM!  I have a project called `name-suggestion-index` that I could use help with…
You can even get some free stuff if you sign up on https://hacktoberfest.digitalocean.com/ <https://hacktoberfest.digitalocean.com/>  with your GitHub account.

Go to this project:   https://github.com/osmlab/name-suggestion-index <https://github.com/osmlab/name-suggestion-index>
I need help matching all the commonly named brands in OpenStreetMap to Wikidata ids.

For each one that we haven’t matched already, I’ve opened an issue.
For each issue, someone needs to look up on Google or Wikipedia whether that thing really is a brand.
If so, add the `brand:wikidata` and `brand:wikipedia` tags.  And if not, add a regex to discard it from the index.  

Then send a pull request to close the issue.
If you send 5 pull requests in October, you’ll get some swag from Hacktoberfest 😃

It doesn’t take a lot of time, and it’s a great way to help OSM and learn about GitHub and Open Source.  There are thousands of open issues and I’d appreciate all the help I can get!

Thanks  🙏
Bryan
