Just for the record (because I’m telling everyone), I’m transgender! πŸ™‚ I’m transitioning to live openly and honestly as myself, as a woman now. πŸ™‚ (To my LGBTQ+πŸ³οΈβ€πŸŒˆ friends, I’m simplifying for the cis πŸ˜‰) My name is Amanda McCann, and for pronouns they/them is fine, but she/her is nice. Auf deutsch, meine Pronomen sind β€žsieβ€œ.

My old email addresses will still work, but [email protected] is my personal email address, and [email protected] for OSMF Board matters.

On github, I’m amandasaurus on github, Amᡃᡖanda on the OpenStreetMap Wiki, and @Amanda#2524 on Discord, am{ap}anda on IRC

Like always, I am open to good faith questions from OSMers on LGBTQ issues. If there’s a question you’ve always been afraid to ask, you can ask below as a comment, or email me. πŸ™‚

While some people might think this doesn’t belong on the OSM diary system, I will point out that I’m a member of the OpenStreetMap Foundation Board of Directors. If I said nothing, then people might be confused about the name change. πŸ˜‰

Thanks for the notice, I was actually a bit confused when some β€œunknown” user edited the wiki page of OSM Promotional Material Programme. I was looking for spammers. Well, all the best for you!
