Editor's Notes
- Map of the area we are in right now.
- This is what Kathmandu looked like in July 2011. Notice all of the gaps between all the streets inside the ring road. Very little outside the ring road is mapped.
- By June 2011, we had ~230,000 features, and 224 contributors contributing to edits with Nepal.
- At the end of July 2011, we held a mapping party with FOSS-Nepal. This was the beginnings of the OSM Nepal community.
- In July 2012, the http://monsooncollective.org held a mapping party, as well as mapping the public transportation routes within Kathmandu.
- More serious mapping begin with the MapKathmandu project by adyota.org. This was the effort in one neighborhood of Kathmandu. However, the effort is very localized at this point.
- Then, the WorldBank funded OpenDRI survey helped OSM community grow much more. Here is Project Lead Nama Budhathoki presenting to a group of KU students.
- The community grew by leaps and bounds. Mapping Parties would end by having a cake with the map printed on it.
- Mapping Party with KU Students.
- We worked with Faculty, who could use OSM in their classes.
- Mapping Party with Red Cross
- Developers Meet Up
- Earthquake data for schools and hospitals
- Lakh = 100,000.
- Derived from Nepal OSM History (.osh) file. Contributing users = users making at least one edit within Nepal.
