On January 19, 2023, OpenStreetMap (OSM) celebrated an impressive milestone by reaching 10 million registered users. This achievement reflects the tremendous growth and global reach of the OSM community, showcasing the widespread commitment to maintaining a free, editable map of the world.

There are countless contributors to OpenStreetMap, each playing a vital role in its success. These individuals survey their neighborhoods with GPS and notepads, or trace over licensed satellite imagery, to provide the most complete, current, and accurate data possible. Additionally, some publishers have allowed their data to be included in OSM, further enriching the platform. It is impossible to adequately acknowledge all these contributors, but their collective efforts are what make OpenStreetMap an invaluable resource for millions around the globe.
