Happy birthday! How did I start? Well, I first created an account in OSM in July 28, 2007. And I've been hooked ever since. You can all read about how I started on my blog:
“OpenStreetMap Does the Philippines”, August 4, 2007 (a week after I created an account) http://vaes9.codedgraphic.com/posts/osm_does_the_philippines “OpenStreetMapping My Neighborhood”, September 1, 2007 (a month after) http://vaes9.codedgraphic.com/posts/osm_my_neighborhood I've also blogged about OSM many times over the past 7 years: http://vaes9.codedgraphic.com/categories/osm/ :-) Eugene On Aug 8, 2014 9:12 PM, "maning sambale" <[email protected]> wrote: > > Happy 10th Birthday #OpenStreetMap > > http://youtu.be/7sC83j6vzjo > > Tell us how did you start with OSM. > > I'll start. > I discovered OSM around Jan 2006 (user# 1417) while trying to look for > PH vector data I need for a research.
