Hi guys, The Operations Working Group of the OSM Foundation is planning to invest in the OSM server infrastructure to provide greater performance and redundancy. To that end, they are asking for donations.
Here's the announcement: http://opengeodata.org/improving-openstreetmap-reliability-and-perfo Here's the donation page: http://donate.openstreetmap.org/server2011/ Here's the investment plan: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/New_server_and_fund_raising_drive_2011 OpenStreetMap has recently hit the 500,000 registered users milestone, and as Jim has predicted about a week ago, the 10 millionth changeset was logged yesterday: http://www.openstreetmap.org/browse/changeset/10000000 So if you're feeling generous, you should donate in order to help keep the OSM servers running! But if you don't have the funds, your contributions to the map itself is also very, very much welcome. :-D _______________________________________________ talk-ph mailing list talk-ph@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ph
