fair tech forum<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Reviews of places<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

OpenStreetmap is a wonderful open data platform for geo data. However, one data category is glaringly missing from it: reviews of places, like people are used in mainstream maps apps. For this project, we are developing this function.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n

Open info about products<\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Consumers require honest and transparent information about the products they wish to buy, specifically when it concerns social, ethical and sustainable products. For this project, we are building a database of open information about consumer products, using a wiki-model, for use by product comparison platforms. <\/p>\n\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

How we work<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Open Info is partly run by volunteers, partly by grants and partly by donations. The grants and donations allow us to do more extensive work on projects that are important to us and to fund other open info projects.
