 This month OpenStreetMap - the global crowdsourced open geodata project - celebrates its 19th birthday đđ, so the next few weeks our #geoeducation threads will focus on the amazing OSM community. Our geocoding API is built on OpenStreetMap, and for many years now we've been interviewing OpenStreetMap communities small and large over on our blog. Join us on a virtual trip to see how OSM works around the world đđđ 12 comments
3/ So buckle up, let's go. OpenStreetMap started in the UK đŹđ§, so let's start there! We've had the chance to talk with OSMers in: Scotland đ´ó §ó ˘ó łó Łó ´ó ż https://blog.opencagedata.com/post/98216589988/open-geo-interview-series-state-of-osm-in 5/ We also spoke with OSMers in Belgium đ§đŞ @osm_be https://blog.opencagedata.com/post/144645475193/country-profile-openstreetmap-in-belgium They are a very active community, and are this year hosting State of the Map Europe @sotmeu in Antwerp 10-12th of November (We're proud to be sponsors) 7/ From Africa we sail âľ west to South America where we've learned about OpenStreetMap in ⢠đŚđˇ Argentina https://blog.opencagedata.com/post/163087497973/openstreetmap-in-argentina ... 9/ Continuing northward to the đşđ¸ United States we've chatted with prolific OSMers like @mvexel about OpenStreetMap in Utah https://blog.opencagedata.com/post/openstreetmap-in-utah and @cbed about OSM in Montana https://blog.opencagedata.com/post/openstreetmap-in-montana ... 11/ We hope our interviews help show off the diversity of the worldwide OpenStreetMap community. Every region of the world has unique challenges and pleasures. Hopefully the interviews also remind us we're all working towards the same goal - a shared global map đđđđşď¸đ You can see the full list of all our OSM interviews here: 12/ Obviously there are many, many more OpenStreetMap communities large and small all around the world than those we've had the chance to speak with so far.

2/ One of coolest things about OpenStreetMap is that the world is such a geographically and culturally diverse place, and yet we all contribute to the same open database.
Sounds obvious, but really how many examples of truly global cooperation are there? đ¨đŠâđŚąđŠđžâđŚąđłđźââď¸đŠđźâđŚ°đ§đžâđŚąđ§đž
