Hello! My name is Brian Sperlongano, and I am based in Rhode Island, USA. My mapping interests include boundaries, protected areas, and hiking trails.

As of 2022, I'm a member of the OpenStreetMap US board of directors.

Outside Projects

  • I am the creator of StreetFerret, which is based on OpenStreetMap and Strava. As part of this project, I help fix administrative boundaries worldwide, primarily at level 7 and 8.

I founded the OpenStreetMap Americana project, which aims to produce a map in the style of North American maps, with comprehensive highway shield rendering on a vector tile stack.

I have completed the following projects:

I am currently working the following projects:

  • A collaborative project to modernize river tagging.
  • An AJAX replacement for the {{taginfo}} template.
  • I am mapping land use and land cover data for Rhode Island, one town at a time. See an example of my work on relation Prudence Island.
  • I am contributing to the United States Public Lands project in order to document public land tagging standards for Rhode Island.

Proposal Development

I am a strong proponent of using the OpenStreetMap proposal process to achieve consensus on tagging schemes. If you are interested in writing a proposal, and would like private help or feedback, I would be happy to assist in helping you get your idea through the proposal process.
