“OpenStreetMap Foundation’s community-driven approach helps keep the map of the world as accurate as possible. As map lovers and builders ourselves, we are excited to help support the OSMF mission” – Yennie Solheim, Niantic Director of Social Impact
E–Smart, which specializes in dynamic speed management, and LANDCLAN, offering location intelligence data and tools, are new joiners at the Bronze level. Interline, a transportation network consultancy, and Verso, a maker of wearable technology both upgraded their membership from Supporter to Bronze.
And Infrageomatics, offering location intelligence derived from open source infrastructure data, has joined as new Supporting member.
The success of OpenStreetMap depends on organizations that make financial contributions, donations “in kind” such as hosting services and other resources, and hardware. These philanthropic investments help ensure site stability, support the maintenance of technical infrastructure, and help sustain OSM’s volunteer community.
The OSM community and the OSMF are extraordinarily grateful for the sustaining contributions of Corporate Members.
