2022 - The First Full-Time Employee

The OSM project is run by volunteers, who organize their work through OSM’s Working Groups. They edit and expand the map, keep it legally compliant and safe from vandalism, resolve licensing issues, organise conferences, keep hardware and software up to date, and develop new mapping tools.

 In more recent years, with the addition of a corporate membership program and corporate giving to OSM map projects, the OSM Foundation was able to increase its budget, making it possible to hire its first paid, full time Senior Site Reliability Engineer, Grant Slater.
