Mapper of the Month: David Morais Ferreira (Luxembourg)
Who are you?
My name is David Morais Ferreira, I was born and raised in Luxembourg and I am currently finishing my master’s in Germany.
When and how did you discover OpenStreetMap?
As many people do, I stumbled upon OpenStreetMap while looking for a map I could use for hiking and geocaching on my smartphone without having to pay for a mobile data plan. Then in 2017 I decided to create an account to contribute back to the map I had been using and relying on for so long.

Mapper of the Month: Allan Mustard (USA/Turkmenistan)
I “met” Allan Mustard when I saw his keynote speech on SOTM 2016. More recently, I read a few of his diary entries where he tells about his surveys. So I decided to contact him for an interview.
Who are you ?
I am the United States ambassador to Turkmenistan. I live in Ashgabat, and depending on one’s point of view am a professional diplomat, an agricultural economist, a political scientist, a Russian linguist, or an amateur cartographer. My official biographic sketch is here.
