[OSM-dev] minute dumps

[Eugene Alvin Villar]

This might be getting off-topic to this list but to respond: according
to this article[1], the author has contacted Bing and that Bing
"stated that they use no OSM data whatsoever." I know that Bing is
just a part of Microsoft, but if you are asking about OSM diffs using
a Microsoft email address, then people will rightly be curious what
Microsoft might be doing with OSM data when Bing, which is the most
likely candidate for using OSM data, says they're not using it.
According to your LinkedIn profile, you are the Principal Database
Architect at Microsoft so might it be that you are simply interested
in OSM data for being a humongous dataset. Is this correct?
