@mvexel @brewsterkahle Thanks for the boost, Martijn! I'm huge fan of #OpenStreetMap and the work you've done on #MapRoulette. I could swear we did a story on it years ago when I was working on #TWiT, but I can't find any record of it.

You and the folks at OpenStreetMap.org need volunteers, too! If anyone here loves #OpenSource projects and wants a fun challenge, they should go to maproulette.org and help add places and fix data in Open Street Map. They need people to add details about everything from highways in #SaudiArabia to #museums in #France and barbershops in the #BayArea.

We've all learned a lesson this past month about how crucial it is to have open source backups to the corporate services we depend on. There's nothing keeping #Google from sending #Maps to the #GoogleGraveyard like #Reader, #Hangouts, and all the useful editing tools that Maps used to have. I'm going to try switching to Open Street Maps, and maybe even track down some US museums websites for you!
