OpenStreetMap – global free editable map
I am a long-time contributor to the OpenStreetMap project. I not only participate in adding new data and updating existing information, but also put a lot of effort into localising tools and documentation into Ukrainian to attract more participants from Ukraine. I translated and maintained the interfaces of such editors as iD and JOSM , translated the documentation in the OSM Wiki, and helped in the preparation of issues for the weeklyOSM . In addition, I created a website for the Ukrainian OpenStreetMap Community and helped to establish cooperation with corporate users, one of whom created and maintains a tile server for use in Ukraine.
However, my efforts are not limited to the Ukrainian community. I have updated and offered to the community site that facilitates the wide dissemination of information about the project and Switch2OSM , guidance on the transition to using OpenStreetMap.
3D Modeling and Printing
3D printing became my hobby not long ago. I documented my first steps in this hobby on my YouTube channel . I also made efforts to localise Luban slicer to 100% in Ukrainian. Not only the interface was localised, but also the built-in help.
I have a universal 3D printer that also has a laser for cutting and engraving. And I managed to cut a model of the landscape of the island from plywood, see more about it here .
Other Hobbies and Skills
Building marble machines , cross stitching, crocheting, knitting, translation of free software to Ukrainian, photography…
