#OpenStreetMap #Foundation Active Contributor Membership

#OpenStreetMap Belgium’s Mapper of the Month #MotM is @joost_schouppe.

If the name sounds familiar to you, it might be for many reasons. It could be for his past involvement as OpenStreetMap Foundation #OSMF board member, for leading the Belgian community chapter, or being a very active mapper.

One of the ways to financially #OpenStreetMap is to donate to the OpenStreetMap Foundation! Once off, or recurring, donations are always welcome.

Don't forget to mention the fediverse/mastodon in the donation message. 🙂

This morning we hit send on the payment for renewal of our corporate membership of the OpenStreetMap Foundation.

Our services depend on open data from OSM, thus it's our pleasure to give back to the project. We hope our example encourages other companies to do the same.

Financial support is critical, but we also do our best to contribute in more tangible ways. You can find a summary of our efforts on our blog:

“We are aware of the Maxar imagery unavailability issue and have been in regular contact with them about key rotation and other security mitigation efforts. We have not heard much, but are trying to resolve.”

@richlv This isn't new though, is it?

It does obv. directly go against the #OSMF's Guidelines on attribution. https://wiki.osmfoundation.org/wiki/Licence/Attribution_Guidelines

I was naive when I thought I could change that 😂😭

The #OpenStreetMap Foundation is looking for a new email hosting service (to replace google), for *@osmfoundation.org emails.

Do you know anything that fits these specs? Suggest it here! 👇 🙂📧

Good news! #TomTom joins the #OpenStreetMap Foundation (#OSMF) as its first Platinum corporate member!

This wasn't surprising since people from TomTom have already been mapping in OSM, participating in the community, creating @MapRoulette challenges, sponsoring events such as SotM 2022, and have announced that OSM is one of their primary sources for their Maps Platform last November.
