Thanks
Each year whenwewrite this sectionwe are remindedwhy Open-StreetMap is so great—it’s the dedication and passion of individ-uals who, when acting together, can achieve great things. Thisyear is no different. In factwe’ve been helped by a record numberof people, many of whom are returning in roles they supportedin the previous year or two. The generosity of the following peo-ple have kept us on track and each contribution, however small,moved us closer to our goal. Thank you.
State of the Map would not be possible without the support ofthe OpenStreetMap Foundation working groups. Over the yearswe have worked with almost every working group, the Board,Advisory Board, and of course our hosts of this year (Wikime-dia Italia) are one of the OSMF Local Chapters. We encourageeveryone to ask how they can help the groups—even a spare 10minutes here and there canmake the difference.
