Currently this instance (en.osm.town) is hosted & paid for privately by me. Should I move this to the OSMF payment & control?
I am on the OSMF Board BTW, and this was a recommendation of the OSMF's FOSS Policy Special Committee
I've started the process of getting funding for this mastodon instance from the OSMF.
Good news! The #OSMF has agreed to fund this server. More details to come.
@amapanda
Could it be renamed to social.openstreetmap.org?
@reclus I haven't thought about that much.
I like the idea of keeping the “en” part, to show that the english language isn't №1. I took the idea from fr.osm.social.
wouldn't everyone's links break if we changed the domain?
Would we lose all followers (etc) if we changed the domain?
