Pictured here are our servers freshly racked up in 2011 and a new database server from 2012. This would be our last spinning rust (mechanical hard disk) database server. 36 drive bays! Future database servers used SSD disks.

Happy 20th birthday to @openstreetmap! ๐2๏ธโฃ0๏ธโฃ๐
While Iโm not celebrating in any particular way today, I remember enjoying the 10th birthday in London during #Wikimania 10 years ago today.
Earlier that day I gave an Intro to OSM lecture. Then that night, I and others like Katie and @SK53 went to The Artillery Arms pub to celebrate with other mappers. There I finally met some OSM veterans like @harry_wood, @woodpeck, and @Firefishy.
