Sorry dat ik in het Engels schrijf. Ik betwijfel of mijn Afrikaans
hier wordt begrepen ;-)
I think Stefan is referring me to contacting uni-wuppertal.de to ask
if they could put me into contact with the person who runs the backend
of garmin.opensteetmap.nl (osm.pleiades.uni-wuppertal.de). I asked if
they are unable to put me into contact with the person if they'd
consider redirecting the service to
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_Map_On_Garmin/Download
garmin.openstreetmap.nl has been offline for I think around 2 years
(and disrupted long before then). Despite the service not functioning,
it still used to accept map requests and told users to wait for an
email. The service still accepts donations despite being abandoned
(>£8000 Bitcoin received).
The service should be maintained else shutdown for the health of
OpenStreetMap. The OSM Operations
Group and Data Working Group have received misdirected complaints
about the service in the past.
For background see: https://github.com/openstreetmap/operations/issues/615
This all feels like the painful process I had to go through to get
forum.osm.org transferred a few years back.
I am an OpenStreetMap.org sysadmin first and have been a volunteer
sysadmin for over 15 years. I care about OpenStreetMap first before my
new employer.
Kind regards,
Grant

Maarten Deen,Er zitten of hangen dan na die opheffing wel weer een aantal losse eindjes in de lucht.
Bijvoorbeeld; vragen aan OSM.nl komen dan naar verwachting niet meer bij de huidige operator (van dat post adres) terecht 🙁
Welke rol speelt Garmin als externe partner in dat verhaal ? Je kunt als vrijwilliger je aangegane afspraken nou eenmaal niet zonder overleg verzaken.
Hi Grant Slater,
Zuid Afrikaans verschilt in de basis niet zoveel van het Nederlansch.
But a dispute starting with "I think" is not that clear, IMHO that is not done.

Ps Lambertus might have started the cooperation with Garmin or otherwise, but please let the credit be there for all the work the early birds contributed to this project we now know as Open Street Map. A volunteer has no contract and if he breaks down or lost the appetite without any backup, that will be the end. In other words if you don’t like the way people cooperate or not at all it is up to the volunteer to make a discission and leave, that is just what a lot of oldies do with OSM, leave it.
The system is eating his/here own kids.
