Relax, Pradeep. The confusion/noise is only from the fact that OSM has been a longstanding acronym for Open Street Maps, which is an important facet of Open Knowledge Culture. To be very frank, I was completely unaware of the term OSM for Open Source Movement, and also read Tory's acronym as Open Street Maps, and while being very pleased to learn that Sudhanwa was a contributor to it, was confused in equal measure by (what I assumed was) his shyness to being identified with Wikimedia. <br>

hi,<br>
<br>
Since I am creating noise on the list, I apologise and resign from the<br>
list. Hope the signal levels go back up.<br>
If there is no article on OSM, please WP:BEBOLD and create one.<br>
Wikipedian vocabulary is not limited by the content of Wikimedia<br>
projects but rather by day to day usage.<br>
<br>
Again, apologies. I am sorry to see this mailing list also getting as<br>
divided as things are in the OSM.<br>
