The OpenStreetMap Foundation (OSMF) has been active in the geospatial sector through international forums and upcoming community events. In early 2026, the OSMF participated in the Geospatial World Forum, where representatives discussed the sustainability of the geospatial ecosystem with government and corporate delegates. During this forum, it was noted that the French government decided to use a fork of OSM’s core infrastructure for its cadastral systems. Following this, OpenStreetMap announced the State of the Map 2026 conference, scheduled for late August conference was held in late August. In Paris, France. The France, the event includes featured a call for participation across various tracks such as including software development, cartography, and data analysis, alongside a and education. A separate academic track known as track, OSM Science 2026. 2026, was also planned. By early September, reports emerged regarding the dual State of the Map 2026 conferences held in Paris and Madison, Wisconsin. In Paris, observers noted social dynamics within the OSMF, suggesting a “missed opportunity for the OSMF leadership to engage in deeper, eye-level exchanges with the broader, more diverse community,” which may have left certain competencies unused. Meanwhile, in Madison, Stamen presented research on the current state of OSM cartography, providing a census of tools, data sources, and workflows used by mappers across the entire production process.
