HAPPY BIRTHDAY OpenStreetMap! Today is OSM's 20th Brithday!
Here's SteveC's desktop at University College London, the original OSM "server" until 2006. You've come a long way in the last 20 years.

Wow, a Zip Drive! Was that used for backups?
@openstreetmap Happy birthday!
@openstreetmap appy Birthday OSM
@openstreetmap Happy birthday, happy mapping.
Tell you what! @ahangarha is doing a brithday for OSM in Persian FOSS sphere :)
@openstreetmap
Awesome, happy birthday, I just donated as a birthday present and appreciation to all the contributors!
@openstreetmap Pretty sure that was the same line of Optiplex desktops that a former employer leased many years ago. I had to help set them up and later rebox them to be returned once the lease was over.
That was ages ago.
@openstreetmap Happy birthday!!
@openstreetmap @fnxweb Those were good machines, in my first job I remember setting them up with Novell Netware on top of MS DOS 6. It was part of the Classroom 2000 project in the UK. I worked for ICL before they died and go sucked in to the great Fujitsu conglomerate. Same job I also fixed the last of the Escom built Amiga 600 and 1200.
@openstreetmap It still thinks I can't cycle from the pavement outside my house to the street outside my house ... I'm afraid I'm too lazy to try to work out how to fix this.
@openstreetmap Happy anniversary and thanks for all the hard work!
@openstreetmap that belongs in a Museum! (Quote)
Happy birthday OSM!
@openstreetmap Congratulations to OSM , team and volunteers around the world!
@openstreetmap Happy birthday to OSM!
@openstreetmap Sometimes you can’t resist the charm of a ratchet-assed setup. HBD OSM!
@openstreetmap Those Optiplexes really were work horses.
@openstreetmap I can hear the zip drive clickclickclick from here
@openstreetmap SteveC who? We need to know.

@openstreetmap projects that start out like this are always the best

@openstreetmap Happy birthday and a big thank you to all the volounteers working on OSM those past twenty years!
@openstreetmap I still have one of these laying about somewhere
@openstreetmap that would explain why it was so slow to load when I first tried to contribute in 2006!
@openstreetmap I have created my OSM account in 2006 and pushed my tracks via my Garmin GPS. in 20 years, opentreetmap has done a remarkable job, in France we have the execelent @cquest who has done an amazing job.
@openstreetmap Happy birthday! To the widest mapping project that even Jorge Luis Borges didn't dreamt of. Litteraly greater that an 1/1 scale map!
