It’s been 5 years since the last OpenStreetMap US community survey, and during that time this corner of the mapping world has witnessed remarkable growth. As the OSM US team moves into planning for the new year, we want to turn to you for your thoughts and feedback!
The 2024 Community Survey is a chance to hear from a broad range of voices about your experiences, perspectives, and ideas for the future. It will ask about your participation in the OSM project, general demographic questions, and any feedback you have for the OSM US team. Many of these questions will be directly compared to responses gathered in the 2019 survey to better understand our progress towards a more inclusive and diverse OSM community.
We believe that diverse input is critical to ensuring that our work continues to align with the needs and aspirations of this community. In early 2025 we will share these survey results on the OSM US website, and discuss them further during Mapping USA on January 24 & 25, 2025. Your results will be viewable to the OpenStreetMap US staff and Board of Directors, and open-ended responses will be shared without identifying information attached.
You can take the survey here.
This survey is intended for the OSM US community, but we will publish international responses if relevant. The survey will close on January 3rd, 2025, so please spread the word and encourage others to participate. Thank you!
