Use openstreetmap as a source of data #22

Maybe you are interested in using openstreetmap as an additional source. 1'536 hackerspaces are documented.

Thanks for the suggestion. The challenge of the map is not only to collect the places itself but also if a hackerspace is still open/active. (See also the census part of my site). A quick inspection of the data from openstreetmap included spaces that are closed, so that makes this data less desirable for my site. I will check it later again and see if I can use the openstreetmap data.
