Nearly 2,000,000 registered users
of which
nearly 500,000 are active mappers 

and only 

600 are a member of the OSMF  [1]

and only 

110 of those members found it necessary to vote!   



What was all that fuzz about the last months?

When I discovered OSM and started to contribute as mapper, I thought it would be good/necessary/helpful to also become a member of the foundation as well. So I did. Shocking to realize that never in my life I became a member of such a painful minority.

We have a long way to go to improve support for OSMF by increasing membership numbers.

Marc.
