Hi Vlad,
I'm assuming you work for Mapbox from the Ukraine.

• Do you work in your home or away from home?
• Do you find it difficult to communicate with your co-workers from around the globe and different time zones?
• Do you have a favorite projection?

Thanks for Leaflet. Big fan.

If so, what are your opinions about the other languages you've worked with?

Hello Vladimir,

Thank you for offering your help here. I have built a MapBox application. I wanted to add a copyright prior to MapBox's copyright logo. I used your L.control.attribution as:

varName = L.control.attribution({prefix: 'some text'}).addTo(map);

I used FireFox inspector and found that 'some text' is a child of ->

I have my own custom.css file and I tried to use it to override the class leaflet-control-attribution in leaflet.css but it is not working. Is this something from MapBox.css to prevent changes or from leaflet? Is there a solution to fix this? I just wanted to change the background of the parent div of the L.control.attribution DOM object.

Thanks in advance

Ahmad

What age did you start playing guitar? How did you learn?

What things are exciting to you, and why did you chose to work on the web?

First of all thanks for all you great work in the web mapping business! Please let me know if I should rather post this on stackoverflow:

After reading https://www.mapbox.com/blog/introducing-geojson-vt/ I am wondering if it’s possible to use an OSM extract or custom OSM data converted to geoJSON with MapBox GL JS and use MapBox Streets styling or anything similar.

If that’s possible, what would be the prerequisites and neccessary steps to do this?

I’m still looking for a more elegant way to have a current OSM map along with historical maps created in JOSM. I currently have a workflow based on Tilemill, OSM2PSQL, hosted as Raster-mbtiles via a PHP-serverscript: http://maps.animaux.de/ (the first 2 baselayers 2014 + 1926 using a style based on OSM Bright/Pandonia)

There are several several winner library/frameworks in the JS world: Leaflet, D3, jQuery, three.js .. most of which are extensible via plugin/subclassing.

What's the secret to creating a great api/architecture?

Hi, what are best tech conferences about cartography around the world for you?

One of my favorite things about using Leaflet over Esri's Arcgis Javascript API is the simplicity of the code/not forcing me to use Dojo. This led me to wonder if your inspiration for a simple mapping api came from past experience using Esri's API/software (such as ArcMap)?

Editor, terminal, tools, themes, fonts, process, etc.

Are there concepts you find new programmers ignore not because they are hard, but maybe they do not think they are that important?

What is the significance of your username "mourner"?

I'm curious to hear how you continue to build upon your skill set... so:

How do you learn best (physical environment, resources, starting points, etc.)? In particular, if/when you hit road blocks, how do you get through them?
