tldr; There was a State of the Map event July 28-30 in Milan, Italy.<p>There was a lot of discussion of vector tiles and that eventually the homepage of OpenStreetMap.org would use vector tiles.<p>There are a few tools for fighting vandalism, but they aren&#x27;t at the level of replacing a human editor.<p>A new data model for OpenStreetMap was discussed and there is discussion to whether they should improve the current one or replace it entirely.<p>There is a proposal for a new public transport schema to help make routing problems easier while also making it simpler for mappers to use.<p>Grants to the OpenStreetMap Foundations helped bring reps from underrepresented communities to the conference. Also, gender diversification was discussed.
