Obviously, it's better to buy less and buy local when you can.

I just stumbled upon them and it seems that they're basically a 2nd hand clothing marketplace where you ship items to them and they deal with photographing and shipping goods.

So just wondering if anyone has bought or sold anything through them or has opinions on them?

 

Summary of the video (generated by Kagi):

  • Addis Map Transit works to map public transportation in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia using OpenStreetMap. They have mapped bus routes, stations and worked to provide digital transportation information services.
  • Digital Matatus Consortium worked to map matatu (mini-bus) routes in Nairobi, Kenya to provide open transportation data and analyze accessibility issues. They standardized the data in GTFS format.
  • Truy Association helps make public transportation easier and more accessible in the global South through mobile apps and open data. They encourage communities to map their transportation systems.
  • Mobility Hub created an online course to teach people how to map public transportation in OpenStreetMap, covering topics like GTFS and using the JOSM editor.
  • Mapping transportation helps provide digital route planning apps and services, empowering users and operators. It also allows analysis of issues like access to services.
  • Open data standards like GTFS are important to make transportation data usable in apps and analysis. Converting OSM data to GTFS was a focus.
  • Community involvement and crowdsourced data helps keep transportation maps accurate and up-to-date as systems change.
  • Presenters discussed challenges like gaining permissions and maintaining government relationships and data.
  • Transportation mapping empowers underserved groups and improves planning and equitable access to opportunities.
  • Open source tools, networks and training are needed to support mapping efforts globally, especially in the global South.
 

Show us your half baked, not really ready for prime time projects.

Or just whatever open source stuff you've been contributing to lately!

For me, it's https://openlibrary.org I've been working on having author pages populated with data from wikidata. Also a few other small things with documentation and small UI bugs :)
