From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Yes. Most of my contributions are "drinking water" (public water fountains) and "restrooms"
I've been meaning to ask: what's the appropriate POI for a normal 115/220 power outlet socket?
power=outlet and socket=, although it's not widely used (but don't let that stop you!).
Sorry, but can you clairidy further? Those are tags. What should the POI amenity be?
It can just be a single node with
power=outlet, such as this one. Or combined with others (e.g. it looks like there are a few benches tagged as having power, and I guess a similar thing could be done for picnic shelters etc.). It depends on how micromappy you want to be I guess!
