The OSMF recently launched a new mediawiki powered site at http://www.osmfoundation.org/ with a basic logo.
We’d love to have a logo that better reflects the foundation, and would like to follow the success of crowd sourcing a logo for the SOTM conference.
If you have an idea for a logo please submit it here:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Foundation/Logo
and the board will choose or request changes to a winning entry at the December board meeting. Please spread the word, we’d love to see all the different ideas possible.

Ever since OpenStreetMap started to receive interest and publicity its been regularly misquoted in the plural form, OpenStreetMapS. Now thanks to some diligent work by Grant Slater we are the proud owner of the openstreetmaps.org domain. No more will folks around the globe be able to google it badly.
Unfortunately getting the domain wasn’t cheap, in fact we had planned to run a donate drive to cover the cost before purchasing it, but such is our popularity we were concerned that the price might rise, so we’ve nipped in quick and secured it at the original offer price and now its ours.
Alas though the Foundation is now out of pocket by $1300 / £800. Please make a donation to help us raise this to replenish the coffers for when the next opportunity arises.
Raised so far:
