Hello! I'm Luna, an OSM contributor from Belgium. This page should give you a quick overview of who I am and how to get in touch with me.

About me

My OSM journey

I first started using OSM when I was in foster care, around 2017–2018. During the next few years, my contributions mostly consisted of improving the areas around where I live and places where I often passed by. I gradually gained experience, switching to JOSM (from iD) at some point and finding out about the “notes” feature on the OSM website, as well as various OSM-related tools. In 2023, I joined the OSMF as an associate member (as an “active contributor”), and connected with other mappers from Belgium for the first time. I'm looking forward to get more involved with the OSM community, as well as hoping to attend OSM meetups in Belgium one day!

Personal life

I'm currently technically a student, although I've finished all courses and submitted and defended my thesis; I'm currently doing an internship, which is required to obtain my degree. I'm studying analytical, environmental and geochemistry, but am hoping to become a train driver one day. My main interests include the web (and especially social media), trains and British roads. I'm also a cyclist in a way (as in, interested in cycling infrastructure; it's not my preferred mode of transport), a train lover, and am single. I'm autistic and a member of the queer community.

A note on pronouns

If you don't know me personally, please use they/them pronouns wherever possible (die/hun in het Nederlands, « iel » en français). If you do know me personally, use whatever I told you, or if I never told you about my pronouns, feel free to ask about them!
