Join the communityBefore you can contribute to OpenStreetMap you will need to sign up and agree to share your contributions under OpenStreetMap's license. This ensures that the data stays free for everyone and that changes can be attributed to specific sources. You don't need to use your real name as your user name. Many people use pseudonyms or nicknames instead. The email address you provide is just for validation and messages between users. It is never revealed directly to other users. Congratulations, you are now a member of a very large community of contributors to OpenStreetMap! There were almost five million people from all round the world who have done what you have just done.
CommunicationNow that you're a user, you can communicate with the community in a variety of ways.
