It's the start of a new chapter for Field Papers - now maintained by @OpenStreetMapUS. Thank you to @stamen and everyone in this community that has supported this project through the years!
After 11 years leading the development of @fieldpapers, we are pleased to announce that the project has transitioned to the capable hands of @OpenStreetMapUS, who will continue to support it for the ongoing benefit of the global #OpenStreetMap community! stamen.com/a-new-home-for-fi…

Thank you to everyone who reported that #FieldPapers has been down. We managed to reboot the server and it seems to be working now. Any previous render requests be stuck forever, but if you try to create a new atlas it should work now. Thanks for your patience! #OpenStreetMap
Just released: 🔊 An interview with @ericrodenbeck & @mappingmashups in the latest episode of The @Geomob Podcast. We talk about the past, present, and future of cartography at Stamen Design. Listen online or anywhere you get your podcasts: thegeomob.com/podcast/episod…
Restitution @openstreetmap en cours grâce à @fieldpapers sur le secteur du Lac de Gaubert à #DignelesBains, suite aux relevés de terrain d'hier.
Merci aux bénévoles qui ont participé.
I've got a small stash of the original @TheMissingMaps Lil' Mapper stickers. At the end of the week I'll send them out to the top 10 kid mappers. Save your edits with #lilmapper comment and track here missingmaps.org/leaderboards…
We are trying to diagnose some problems with rendering atlases. Sometimes Field Papers gets stuck when the tile servers we use are busy. Tip: try using a different basemap, such as the "humanitarian" style instead.
Also, if your atlas is stuck for more than 10 or 20 minutes, it will probably be stuck forever. Sometimes when we restart the server, then old atlases will remain stuck. Try creating a new atlas if your old one is still stuck.
ooh this looks really cool @emilyeros @sharedstreetsio team 👏🏽 love that Field Papers continually gives back to our community - ty @michalmigurski and @stamen :)
