Hi, #OSM community, there's a new post at the OSM blog: "OpenStreetMap at UN Open Source Week" by Minh Nguyễn, Core Software Development Facilitator. Minh represented OpenStreetMap as part of the Sovereign Tech Agency delegation at the United Nations Open Source Week in New York City. Joining him was Sarah Hoffman, who maintains several well-known OSM software projects. Minh writes, "Among the open source projects represented at the event, OSM stands out as an open data project, giving us a special perspective on issues of governance and community-building. At the unconference-style “Maintain-A-Thon”, Sarah shared some of her deep experience as maintainer of Nominatim in discussing how to create accessible entry points for new contributors. A few steps away, I joined open source maintainers from around the world as we discussed our challenges in internationalizing our projects and communities to serve a more global audience." It was a unique opportunity to raise OSM’s profile among global institutional supporters of open source projects and promote best practices for fostering and sustaining authentic open source communities.z Link to the full blog post with all the details is in the comments. 👇 #opensource #opendata #FOSS4G #GIS

🌍✊ On International Women's Day, we stand against the patriarchy that has long silenced women’s voices in tech and mapping. But today, we celebrate the women pushing back—building, coding, and creating maps for a more equal world. The fight isn’t over, but together, we’ll map a future of justice, freedom, and inclusion. Let’s keep mapping. 💪 #IWD2025 #InternationalWomensDay #OpenStreetMap #DiversityInMapping #MappingTheWorld
