Shout-out to out to our Communications Working Group (CWG) member (and OSM social media team member) Orishaba Donitar who staffed the OSMF table and participated in the OSMF Working Group panel at the #StateoftheMap event in Nairobi this weekend. Representatives of the different groups shared about what each WG does and how they do it. Working Groups are the main way the OSM Foundation supports #OpenStreetMap---and they are a lot of fun, too. >>Learn more about #OpenStreetMap Working Groups: https://lnkd.in/ea9SbTrH The groups are: Licensing Data Operations Engineering Communication State of the Map Membership Local Chapters and Communities

🎁 HAPPY BIRTHDAY OpenStreetMap! You've come a long way in the last 20 years. 😍 1. Steve Coast's desktop at University College London, the original OSM "server" until 2006. 2. Andy Allan at the rear of server racks at University College London after a long work session in 2009 extending our rack depth and re-organising our servers. 3. Matt Amos in 2009 after we re-organised our server racks. Server lower middle left (with blue disk caddies) was our new database server installed earlier in the year. 4. Servers freshly racked up in 2011 and a new database server from 2012. This would be our last spinning rust (mechanical harddisk) database server. 36 drive bays! Future database servers used SSD disks. Big thanks to Grant Slater for the vintage photos and descriptions! #20YearsofOSM #opendata #FOSS4G

"OpenStreetMap has grown exponentially or quadratically over the last twenty years depending on the metric you’re interested in...The story isn’t so much about the data and technology, and it never was. It’s the people. " -- Steve Coast, reflecting on 20 years of OpenStreetMap on the OSM blog https://lnkd.in/es8nbp4y #20YearsofOSM #HappyBirthdayOSM

In this essay, Christopher Beddow (@cbed32) compares types of maps in a "voyage into the imagination—to answer the question of how we could see the map differently?" How can we make it easier to map the things we need at a human scale? https://lnkd.in/epC2Qq4q
