This year marks the third anniversary of the OSM Awards, which honour particularly dedicated mappers and activists. Voting will continue until 26 July and the awards will be presented at the StateOfTheMap 2018 conference in Milan.

Every mapper can already vote at http://awards.osmz.ru!

Michael Reichert writes about this in his email on the talk-at mailing list:

Hello,

this year marks the third edition of the OSM Awards, which will be presented at State of the Map in Milan. The final round of voting began on 1 July and will continue until Friday, 26 July. Please take part and vote! Every mapper is entitled to vote. You can register and then cast your vote at http://awards.osmz.ru/. You can vote for as many candidates as you like in each category, but only for one candidate in each category (no cumulating). The candidate who has collected the most votes wins in each category. You can change your vote until the end of the voting process.

(edit 18.10.2018, ScubbX: you can now also access the weekly notes via the URL https://www.openstreetmap.at/wochennotiz

Since I realised at AGIT that the OSM weekly notes are not as well known as I thought, there is now a direct link to the latest issue at https://www.openstreetmap.at.

About the OSM Wochennotiz itself: the latest news on OSM and other open source projects in the GIS sector is compiled here. This means that by regularly checking these blog posts, you can get a very good overview of what is currently happening in the communities and in this sector in general.
