OpenStreetMap wins Document Freedom Day awardIt's Document Freedom Day, and
we're delighted to announce that the Free Software Foundation Europe (FSFE)
has given OpenStreetMap an award recognising the project's work on Open
Standards and Emerging Standards.

Members of OpenStreetMap produce the world's most up-to-date, accurate, and
yes, open map of the world for anyone to use for any purpose. It's used by
outdoor enthusiasts, relief efforts, mobile device users, governments,
web-based mapping applications and commercial organisations, showing just
how useful Open Data can be.

Although the award went to the entire project (that's You), the FSFE didn't
have room for all 1 million+ of us to turn up, so members of Mappa Mercia,
the West Midlands, UK group of OpenStreetMappers met the FSFE
representatives in Birmingham on Saturday 22nd March. Brian Prangle
received the award, saying "It's always great to have your work recognised,
so thank you, on behalf of all the hundreds of thousands of contributors to
OpenStreetMap, to FSFE for their award. We're thrilled that you see
OpenStreetMap as making such an effort towards open standards and it's
especially pleasing that you position us as an 'emerging standard'".

Anna Morris from the Document Freedom Day campaign explained how useful the
meeting was. "This was a wonderful opportunity to learn about the
achievements and problems faced by a sister movement," said Morris. "We
found that we have many common goals and ample opportunity to share skills
and resources."
