<div dir="ltr">Dear All,<div><br></div><div style>What about the Ordnance Survey in the UK? They use OpenLayers as part of their "OpenSpace" mapping API (<a href="http://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/oswebsite/web-services/os-openspace/api/index.html">http://www.ordnancesurvey.co.uk/oswebsite/web-services/os-openspace/api/index.html</a>) so in theory are probably contributing to OL2 if not OL3. Arnulf might have a better idea about this, in his new role with them.</div>
