I was invited to SOTM 2009! - a big special thanks to the organization.

Involved with IBGE (Brazilian Geographic Office) Data import.

I'm from Brazil and have been interested in the project since late 2005.

I´m having fun mapping São Paulo, my hometown and near cities, using a Garmin Venture GPS and the Yahoo! imagery.

Mapping Activities

• The biggest National/State highways that cross the Metropolitan Area with the Yahoo! Applet
  • Rodovia dos Bandeirantes
  • Rodovia Anhaguera
  • Rodovia Anchieta
  • Rodovia dos Imigrantes
  • Rodovia Fernão Dias
  • Rodovia Ayrton Senna
  • Rodovia Presidente Dutra
  • Rodovia Presidente Castelo Branco
  • Rodovia Raposo Tavares
  • Rodovia Régis Bittencourt
  • Rodoanel Mário Covas
• Extending the above about 100km beyond the limits of Yahoo Imagery by GPS
• Marginal Tiête e Marginal Pinheiros Expressways on both sides of the river
• A bunch of the most important avenues of the city like 23 de Maio, Santo Amaro, Bandeirantes, Faria Lima, etc
• Trace of the huge city lakes (almost done - man, this was a lot of nodes)
• My (previous) neighborhood (Morumbi)
• Jundiaí - my location nowadays

I also contributed with a few patches for the (now defunct) Java Applet and I'm very interested in research on fast geo database structures.
