For those questioning the use of systemd in KDE Linux, it's fine. It is a fine framework on which we can build a distro, and the systemd folks are quick to correct errors.

A few days ago, OpenStreetMap hit 180 million changesets with this one: https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/180000000
Great milestone, but even better to see that it's a contribution linked to the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team ("HOT"), by a new but prolific contributor adding lots of data in #Uganda.
