MapRoulette joins OSM US as a Charter Project!

OpenStreetMap US is excited to announce that MapRoulette is joining our growing network of Charter Projects. MapRoulette has become a critical tool for micro-tasking in OpenStreetMap and we couldn't be more thrilled to support the future of this project. 

The 2023 OSMUS Election Results are in!

Congrats to Diane Fritz, Priyanka Miller, and Matt Whilden who will join continuing board members Brian Sperlongano & Adam Franco on the OSM US board for 2023. Thank you to our outgoing board members Daniela Waltersdorfer and Minh Nguyễn for their service, and to James Crawford and Harrison Devine for running!
