100 Million Edits to OpenStreetMap! The collective contribution of nearly 1 billion features globally over 16 years, by over 1.5 million mappers. Changeset 100,000,000 was uploaded by user Lamine Ndiaye, adding buildings in Nianiane, Sénégal. https://t.co/FMEU5YJAOI

Through @hotosm's East Africa regional hub, I will be working to support the development of OSM communities in 21 countries in Northern, Eastern and Southern Africa. I looked at the status of the communities in these countries in this OSM diary https://t.co/OgLHfzQIDa

@BotswanaTourism @Thalefang @kuvuki One important factor in marketing is to have the data on the map. Thousands of apps and websites use our data.

Their awareness of OpenStreetMap could help businesses raise their profiles.

As ever @openstreetmap is a free, open source service and repository.

65% counttries in Africa have OSM chapters. #sotm2020 @kateregga1 @osmafrica part of the growth attributed to @hotosm and @youthmappers

[Geoffrey Kateregga @kateregga1]

Some @openstreetmap communities in Africa exist as a direct result of @hotosm's work and #HOTMicrogrants #sotm2020

[Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team @hotosm]

At the request of regional government in Cusco, #Peru, HOT was able to provide GIS analysis to prioritize aid distribution; facilitate remote mapping to complete the basemap & provide technical support and training. Help us do the same in #Botswana https://t.co/RXyWZeg7w9

Did you know that the map you look at in Botswana is made by a donated server in Cape Town, South Africa?

If someone in the Nordic countries looks at the same map then the map is made in Linköping, Sweden.

They still look the same, this is just for speeeeeeeeed.

10 years ago, HOT was founded by volunteers all over the world who wanted to help the #HaitiEarthquake response.

That spirit lives on with over 200,000 people giving their time and skills to map for people in need.

A huge thanks to our incredible community!
