Snag some swag to show off at Mapping USA! Proceeds support OSM US in keeping our virtual events free for everyone.

Announcing Organizational Memberships!

OpenStreetMap US is excited to expand our membership model to offer non-voting, organizational memberships for companies, educational institutions, nonprofits and government agencies. This membership expansion aligns with other organizational models in the OSM ecosystem with a focus on offering US organizations an avenue to effectively give back and support the growth of our community.

Call for volunteers!

Are you passionate about ensuring a safe and respectful environment for our community? Are you interested in supporting organized participation? OpenStreetMap US is seeking members for the new Governance Committee, an expansion of the Code of Conduct Committee.

Community Spotlight: OSM Utah

We’re excited to spotlight the OSM Utah group this month! OSM US member Martijn van Exel recently shared how the group got out and mapped a local mall together using Every Door in an OSM diary post.

Want to hear more? Martijn will present on this experience at Mapping USA!

Do you have efforts to share with the community or do you want to celebrate another mapper’s work? Let us know!

Join us on November 3rd in Washington, DC for FedGeoDay: the annual gathering for open source geospatial in the federal government.
