State of the Map 2026: Digital Commons Demonstrate Their Effectiveness
We attended State of the Map 2026 in Paris (28–30 August) — 535 participants from 45 countries, 184 talks. We presented Clearance, our open-source quality control tool for OSM data, and received encouraging feedback on our quarantine rules for preventing conflicting edits.
We'll be at the State Of the Map World conference in Paris from August 28 to 30, 2026. Meetings, talks, and shared moments with the OpenStreetMap community — a chance for us to showcase the latest developments in Clearance.
Clearance v0.5: making the most demanding reuse of OpenStreetMap data more reliable
Clearance v0.5 introduces a redesigned LoCha engine, new validators (delayed changes, invalid geometries) and filterable Atom feeds. A significant step forward for securing OpenStreetMap replication in critical contexts: emergency services, mobility operators, local authorities.
