I’m working at Microsoft and we’re donating imagery to OpenStreetMap!

I’ve super excited to tell you that I’ve accepted a position as 
Principal Architect at Bing Mobile [...]

Even better, Microsoft is donating access to it’s global orthorectified 
aerial imagery to help OpenStreetMappers make the map even better than 
it already is[...]

Of course, this doesn’t mean Microsoft ‘owns’ OpenStreetMap[...]
[...] will continue in my roles to push the OSM cause forward
