Good practice - OpenStreetMap Wiki
OpenStreetMap is a free project done by volunteers. Anybody can enter anything they wish. That said, a map works best when participants agree on a code of conduct. These "Good Practices" are guidelines that will increase the quality and value of our map data without any additional effort. Nobody is forced to obey them. There might be cases where these guidelines don't apply or even contradict each other.

How I Ship Code Without Reading It — Daniele Salatti
Yesterday I shipped 1,300 lines of infrastructure code and I didn't read most of it.

It's because I found something that (mostly) works better than reading.

RFCs on the Atmosphere
I was recently working on an RFC for some open source work and didn't have a good place to post it. Google Docs is annoying for anything technical and a git repo is heavy if you don't already have one set up and a process ready to go.
Open Letter to Organic Maps Shareholders
Community contributors to Organic Maps have expressed serious concerns about the project's governance, transparency, and the potential for shareholder profit at the expense of the community. They are calling for a shift to a nonprofit structure, greater inclusivity in decision-making, and financial transparency, and are considering starting a new project if these issues are not addressed.
