Forever fascinated by how things work and spending most of my days working on Soundscape https://scottish-tech-army.github.io/Soundscape-Android/.

I've just spent a great couple of days at the OSM State of the Map Europe conference in sunny Dundee #sotmeu2025.
It was my first SOTM and was so very, very good. Brilliantly well run with lots of fun extras which all amplified the feeling of community. So much generosity on display.
