[Planet OpenStreetMap.org] OpenStreetMap at the 2009 Wikimedia developer meet-up: Initially it looks like we'll be setting this up on servers Wikimedia Deutschland will be donating for the project, once the process is proven there it can be moved to the main Wikimedia sites. We might also be setting up a new mailing list specifically to coordinate this Wikimedia/OSM integration, but maybe we'll use an existing one instead.

[Isotype] Wikipedia joins OpenStreetMap: We’ll also set up a map toolserver for experimenting with other uses of OpenStreetMap data on Wikimedia.
