I’m sorry to hear you can’t make it to the event. We will make sure to post the slide decks here to keep the community up to date on what’s ahead. It might be logistically hard to record entire event since it is going to be in-person. ---

I was the guy who had a question but not a microphone. My question was; > [@Report here signs that do not reflect real life](https://forum.mapillary.com/t/report-here-signs-that-do-not-reflect-real-life/10242): > > Since Mapillary always caughts errors (look for posts that are old [This sign doesn’t exist in italy, and should do OCR - Mapillary Community Forum](https://forum.mapillary.com/t/this-sign-doesnt-exist-in-italy-and-should-do-ocr/9802/15) ) I decide to open a better forum post with SEO-good title, There’s no feature (at 23/02/2026, dd/mm/year) to report signs that are mistaken for others. No, I’m not a Staff/helper of Mapillary No, don’t DM me for “hey can you post this?” Yes, add here with: Image Link @ the image Why is it incorrect, which one should be correct No, this is not… And why Mapillary hasn’t done anything about it? Chat was disabled, so I can’t even chat ---

also another thing: can anyone send me the link for the “tell us your mapping stoiries” since it took a long time to let my camera open ---

This was nice. Well done @asturksever. đź‘Ť I have appreciated that some of the original crew and founders have found time to participate. I also liked the lookout at the map update that is going to snap GPS positions to ways and thus provide for a much cleaner look of the map. It looked very promising. However, I wish we would have had more time for a Q&A round with the community. I guess that most contributors went into the video call with questions on their mind, which unfortunately have not been answered. Maybe we (the contributor community) could have like a video call Q&A session once or twice a year with the core crew? A forum can get you only so far and is so _passive_. I am also looking forward to a link to the recording of the conference. In retrospect, it went by so fast and there was so much new content to take in that it is worth revisiting. ---

Sorry to hear that your mic was not working. We have some plans to modernize our CV pipeline and we will take a consideration of this feature request. Currently we do not have any OCR support. There are several open OCR and vision models where Mapillary images can be useful as input data. ---

Thanks @GITNE for joining us yesterday. I agree that we should do more online community gathering and have an Q&A. Usually conferences are great place where we meet with our community. Are you coming to State of the Map (Paris) this year? ---
