Re: [location-iwg] Knight foundation grant to MapBox for OSM work

[Andrew Ross <andrew.ross@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks for mentioning that Heather.

I wanted to share that I've reached out to Eric & the Mapbox team to invite them to speak at a future LocationTech IWG meeting. It'd be really interesting to hear what they have in mind and look for potential opportunities for synergy with things people have planned. More soon.

Hi Andrew, this is amazing news for Mapbox, OpenStreetMap and the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap community. I think that it will also benefit those of us (like Ushahidi's community) who often choose OSM as their base layer map.

Here's to more support for all location projects : )
