Yesterday, the OpenStreetMap Foundation completed a funding drive of £40,000 ($60,000) to buy two new servers.
Because of the success of the fundraising, they have decided to extend the campaign to raise another £32,500 ($50,000).
See http://blog.openstreetmap.org/2013/06/26/extending-funding-drive/ for details.
If you've got some spare cash and want to support the technical development of the map anyone can edit, go to http://donate.openstreetmap.org/server2013/
You can also donate via Bitcoin.
OSM is growing at a phenomenal rate. The success and ramping up of OSM Foundation fundraising shows that OpenStreetMap is perhaps experiencing the same kind of organisational growing up process as Wikimedia has...
