- A community-led fork of Organic Maps, named CoMaps, is progressing rapidly.
- Core principles include Transparency, Community Decision-making, Not-for-profit & for Public Interest, Fully Open Source, and Privacy-focused.
- The project is focusing on building the foundation, setting up technology, and preparing for the first release.
- The name CoMaps is provisional, with voting concluding on May 20th.
- Ways to get involved include joining development on Codeberg, participating in governance, spreading the word, helping with social media, building the website, and donating via OpenCollective.
- No progress in negotiations with Organic Maps shareholders; Viktor wants to retain full control despite disagreements.
