A summary of all the things happening in the OpenStreetMap (OSM) world.
- A new Australian tile mirror is online and overall the OSM project has four worldwide mirrors now. Additional mirrors are always welcome.

- How can we welcome new OSM members? A proposal for a working group by Richard Weait.
- Mark Iliffe wrote a manifesto for an OSM Academic Working Group.
- Chris Lawrence developed a tool to cleanup GPS traces and create ways: osm-makeroads.
- Lanyrd.com, a social conference directory, also switched to OSM to visualize conference locations on a map. For example the SotM US.
- Pushpin is a new iOS (iPad & iPhone) OSM POI Editor.
- The source code of Paweł Paprota’s “OpenStreetMap Activity Server” is online at github now.
- All OpenStreetBugs of 2008-2011 have been moved to a different map.

There is a great cock-up with utf8 on that backup site for openstreetbugs. I hope bugs are "copied", not "moved", as this article states. Also, UI of the copy is unbearable.
