   In 2023 I had 50 mapping days with 344 changesets in OpenStreetMap. That's the third fewest mapping days since I started mapping in 2017, but not that far away from my normal amount of days.

     In 2023 I had 80 contributions to a number of different projects on GitHub. Double the amount I had the year before, and more than I've had in any other single year since I started using GH in 2010. My second highest was 66 in 2016. And I still don't know any more code than a tiny bit of HTML/CSS. My contributions are exclusively bug reports and feature requests. I really do think they help, and that I can bring an important perspective from a non-coder.

     @harald Takk! Flott du bidrar! Nesten alle mine bidrag kommer gjennom appen StreetComplete. Den er genial om man vil bidra mer – men er kun til Android. Finnes noe tilsvarende til Apple som heter Go Map!!, men jeg har ikke prøvd det. Uansett gjør de turen til et nyttig spill for OSM :)

     In 2023 I also contributed to #OpenStreetMap in another way than editing the map. Trough #MapSwipe I helped organizations like Médecins Sans Frontières, who needes maps of unmapped areas to help people there, by looking trough satellite photos and marking areas with houses or roads, or stuff like that.

     A really easy way to help the world while waiting for something or while on the toilet. Give it a try!

     I swiped 6.8k times, for a total of 5h 57m, mostly on Wednesdays.

     In 2023 I, for the first time IIRC, filled my quota of tax deductible charitable giving. Unfortunately the amount was reduced from 50k to 25k NOK a few years ago

     I donate trough the Norwegian platform gieffektivt.no, similar to https://www.givingwhatwecan.org/donate/organizations

     My donations goes towards direct money transfers to poor people in poor countries trough GiveDirectly and fight malaria trough Against Malaria Foundation and Malaria Consortium, making lives better, maybe even saving some
