OpenStreetMap
Hello OpenStreetMap!
My name is Bart Wiegmans, and I’m researching a method for abstracting a model of the European power grid from OpenStreetMap data. So you may understand that I’m interested in the contributors of OpenStreetMap power data and in their mapping process.
As part of my master thesis project I’ve designed a survey in order to gain some insight in this process. I would be very grateful for all OpenStreetMap users who would take time to fill in this survey. Not only would it help me better understand the power mappers, I also hope that it will serve to help improving the power mapping process.
Regards, Bart

Oh, that sort of “power mapper”…

There are half a dozen very dedicated power mappers in OSM that I know of, hope they see this survey!

Hi! Thanks for the comments. Yes, we do mean the people who map (electric) power structures, sorry if that wasn’t very clear :-) I do hope they see it too :-). If you could ask around, that may be very helpful. Regards, Bart

Good project. Wish we could do the same in Canada, but we don’t have federal energy policy.
