I live in Tokyo, Japan. I work for a company that is not active in map-related activities.
I was introduced to OpenStreetMap by a friend in September 2009.
In the past I was focussing on mapping all the roads. Recently, I started mapping shrines, temples and Japanese gardens.

I’m Andrew Harvey, living in Sydney. I work in geospatial IT, so I’m lucky enough to work with OSM in my day job. I enjoy the outdoors and keeping active so do a fair bit of running, cycling, swimming, bushwalking and kayaking.
It was while I was at uni, at a time when I was discovering open source software and Creative Commons licensing.

I am Nathalie Sidibe. I am an activist from Mali, living in Bamako and co-founder of the OSM Mali Community and president of Datatics Consulting.
I discovered OpenStreetMap in December 2014 through the Espace OpenStreetMap Francophone project. It is through my involvement in youth associations fighting for the restoration of democracy, good governance and the empowerment of women that I learned about a digital cartography training in Bamako. I went there and was immediately seduced by the project and its possibilities for the development of my country and the world.
