Today, Ruth and I attended the birthday party for OSM at Greeley Park in Nashua, New Hampshire USA.

It’s always nice to see old friends and to attach names and faces to folks you recognize from diary entries, mailing lists and changeset comments.

It’s amazing how fast a conversation can start when someone says “How do you…..?

Several of the attendees were

• A 13 year old girl who’s made a website for the trails in her town using a tailored cartographic style.

• One of the “fathers” of the great MA imports.

• A prolific area mapper who has moved to Portland OR

I’ll be checking the OSM Birthday wiki next year to see where the party will be.

Many thanks to rozzin for organizing this event.
