      Yeah, good @Mapzen got a new home and existence. But the original users and the original data of this company have a name: It's mappers of #OpenStreetMap #opendata. Can somebody explain why #OSM is systematically ignored recent news and publications of Mapzen? /cc @randyme

      OSM is always part of my personal narrative. Is your question about why OSM has difficulty attracting media attention and organizational support? Why not post the same question on the mailing lists? As the responses come in, you can read that as my answer.

      Personal narrative? My question was/is (sorry my typos): Can somebody explain, why @Mapzen obviously ignores #OpenStreetMap in their recent news and publications? Can you show me any occurrence of #OSM in recent communications of Mapzen?

      There's some sense if a company wants to blow it's own trumpet & not aim too much attention to a different project (that they rely on) with an uncontrollable user-base. I suppose you're expecting @mapzen & @linuxfoundation to now be more open + stronger supporter of OSM.

      Randy brings up a different question... Why is OSM bad at doing PR/media itself? Answer: who is OSM?.. The OSMF? Local Chapters? OSM US? HOT? OSMF description is more about protection not promotion, so directors don't have a mandate or legal obligation to care about this.

      I don't think that the lack of coverage in the media comes as a surprise to anybody that has been half awake over the last five years. That there was going to be a price to pay for painting #openstreetmap as a one trick humanitarian pony was always clear.

      Drowning out any other messaging (which did exist before) with an a million times repeated appeal to a bad conscience has run its course and now we are reaping what was sown.

      Not the least sown by @mazen, @randyme and @Mapbox that jumped at the opportunity to have some humanitarian glory rub off on themselves.
