UPDATE: the server funding target has been achieved! Thanks to all the individual contributors – over 1200! And don’t forget that OpenStreetMap always welcomes donations.

OpenStreetMap is popular! Almost too popular! The OSM Foundation has announced its 2015 hardware fundraising drive, and new servers are on list. The existing OSM servers are projected to hit capacity all too soon, so please donate today!

There are more OSM registered users than ever and every dollar and pound and euro and yen counts. Mapzen and our friends at Mapbox have donated, and we hope you can too. The details of the upgrade requirements give a sense of just what amazing work the Operations Working Group has been doing, and how we can help them continue to do so.
