 @openstreetmap @tracestrack The new style looks good, but I have noticed some odd rendering not present on others, like these erroneous vertical contours down the middle of Scotland.  @openstreetmap If you want to feel good about the #OpenStreetMap mapping world, go to https://Supporting.OpenStreetMap.org/donate and read the comments left by the people who have made a gift to #OSM. Good news for US mappers! We've added a new tile render server in the US. Big thanks to OregonState OpenSource Lab (OSUOSL) @osuosl for hosting it (and other OSM servers since 2011!) Thank you, also, AWS Cloud for the credits. The new #OpenStreetMap server's name is Piasa, because the OSMF names its servers for dragons, because “there be dragons”. <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Piasa> Piasa cost the OSMF €3,846. In just one month, 1426 people donated € 50,450 (and change) The average gift was € 35.  Mini giving challenge! To reach £50k in donations by tomorrow (9/9/23) we need about £2200. If you can help us reach this major milestone, please do. No gift is too small The members of the OpenStreetMap Foundation (OSMF) will vote to elect a new board in December. Voting will start on 2 Dec 2023 and the results will be announced on 9 December 2023, during the 2023 Annual General Meeting. <https://blog.openstreetmap.org/2023/09/01/osm-foundation-board-elections-2023/> Look at all the people from all the different countries who have visited https://Supporting.OpenStreetMap.org ! 🤩 #OpenStrretMap really is an international project! 🤩🤩🤩

@openstreetmap Regarding the top three, many of those are probably vpns, seeing that in general you do set your vpn to the UK, US or Germany. @openstreetmap still waiting for transport @openstreetmap You can now add one more to the list! Keep up the fantastic work! Editors, contributors, community, all smashing it!! The response to our online giving campaign has been extraordinary! As of this morning, 962 people have made donations from all over the world. Let's get to 1000 this week! Give to support #OpenStreetMap and maybe you will be the 1000th donor. A great reason donate to OSM is to support OSM's site stability engineer. OSM is the greatest volunteer community of all time (!), but the project is too large not to have a paid admin: https://supporting.openstreetmap.org/ Read about @Firefishy's first year: https://blog.openstreetmap.org/2023/05/22/powering-openstreetmaps-future-a-year-of-improvements-from-openstreetmap-foundations-site-reliability-engineer/  The global conference of the OpenStreetMap community, State of the Map (SotM), will be making its way to Nairobi, Kenya from September 6th-8th 2024! <https://blog.openstreetmap.org/2023/08/14/announcing-state-of-the-map-2024-september-6-to-8-2024-join-us-in-nairobi-and-online/> OSM is 19 years old: we’re launching an online fundraising campaign to support its future Blog Post: https://blog.openstreetmap.org/2023/08/09/happy-birthday-openstreetmap-2/ Support here: https://supporting.openstreetmap.org/  It's OpenStreetMap's Birthday today!
