WikiProject Belgium/Belgian Mapper of the Month

From OpenStreetMap Wiki
Jump to: navigation, search

Originally, the Belgian Mapper of the Month was an interview with a OpenStreetMap contributor that lives in Belgium. During the interview we try to get to know when the mapper started, where they maps, which tools are used and what is being mapped. Furthermore we try to find out whether OpenStreetMap is used. After a year, we decided to expand our horizons and also interview mappers from all over the world.

The idea was raised by Ben Abelshausen in October 2014. The goal is to make the Belgian website more attractive and to get to know one another.

The first interview appeared in November 2014. The interviews are published on the Belgian OpenStreetMap website in English. Whenever possible, we also publish a Dutch and French translation. Interviews in other languages (typically in the mother tongue of the mapper) appear as a diary entry of escada.

Mapper in the Spotlight

After the first year, the team thought that it might be a good idea to expand the idea across the border. This might be more interesting for other communities. This series is call "Mapper in the Spotlight"
