=== Sarah Hoffmann ===
Sarah Hoffmann has been contributing to OpenStreetMap since 2008 under the
username of lonvia. She started out as a simple mapper, collecting a lot of
data while hiking in the Swiss Alps. Over the years she became more and more
involved in software development for OSM. She is maintainer for [[osm:Nominatim|Nominatim]],
[[osm:Osm2pgsql|osm2pgsql]], [[osm:Waymarked_Trails|waymarkedtrails.org]] and a couple of other projects. She is part of
the OSMF sysadmin team where she is responsible for the Nominatim servers
and has helped out in the programme committee of [[osm:State_of_the_Map|SotM]] in the last couple of
years.
In 2020 she finally gave up pretending that OSM is just a hobby. Nowadays
she works as a freelancer doing development and consulting for OSM software in
general and Nominatim in particular. She lives in [[osm:Dresden|Dresden]], Germany.
