I'd like to thank Russ as well! I was a long time lurker in OSM, but never did any edits myself. I saw a PR piece for the Boston mapping party, and thought.. Maps and Parties? Why am I not attending that? Then I saw that there would be a meetup in New York the next week. I borrowed my brother-in-law's GPS and I mapped Central Park. 6 years later, I'm still doing something with OSM (almost) every day.
