The Mappyist Hour - Dammit Tee, its Bucharest

In this episode of The Mappiest Hour, Tee and Silas prepare for the global stage as they discuss the upcoming FOSS4G 2019 conference in Bucharest, Romania. The hosts dive into the controversy surrounding corporate editing in OpenStreetMap, debating the balance between open data purity and corporate utility. They also tackle the ever-present "imposter syndrome" in the tech industry and share their excitement (and travel anxieties) about bringing their podcast to an international audience.
