@steffo I do contribute to #OSM occasionally :)
Since I don't have an education in #GIS though, my contribution to #OpenStreetMap is sadly limited to #StreetComplete and fixing metadata of local businesses and such. I doubt I can be very helpful in the high-level design of its standards, protocols and tagging systems.
Although it's always been super interesting to me! I'd love to contribute somehow.
I wish someone knowledgeable would take me under their wing and teach me the ways. :P
