[hackerspaces] Fwd: How to mark/tag your Hackerspace on openstreetmap.org?

[Rory McCann]

Hi all,

I think leisure=hackerspace seems to be the consensus for how to tag a
hackerspaces on OSM. (
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:leisure%3Dhackerspace )

If you tag them as leisure=hackerspace then they'll come up on my
"Hackerspaces in OpenStreetMap" (
http://technomancy.org/osm-hackerspaces/ ). It automatically pulls all
the hackerspaces from OpenStreetMap ever 6 hours, and includes some
details (name, address, website)

How I made that map:
