Congrats Mikel :) i feel what we really need both in India and other developing places is good publicity material. When someone asks me about osm, i still dont have a link to pass that would give a good introduction and inspire him to contribute. Or a gallery of different osm applications. Leaflets that can be printed and handed out. The local GIS industry has a lot to gain by promoting the use of OSM, it would be a lot easier to speak and convince them if pr material was handy.
Im guessing that all of these exists, but its of no use if you cant find them easily. I think its about time all the useful information spread everywhere started converging for easier access. Right now it seems like people hear about osm more through offline means than online ones while it should be the other way around.
