About Me
Hello, my name is Logan McGovern and I’ve contributed to the OSM project since early 2019, both in my free time and professionally. I’m from the United States. I speak English and Português.
My Username
The story that inspired my username: I was participating in a street name survey for Kaula Lumpur, Malaysia. We were traversing the city, collecting information from signs and uploading data to OSM. We had a day off for ourselves, and for a fun activity my coworkers and I visited the KL Bird Park. There, I came across a very angry peacock who decided to chase me without provocation. It was a close call, but I managed to get away from the bird and many jokes were had at my expense. This event is a bit of a legend at the Kaart Colorado office.
Volunteer OpenStreetMap Work
I am a member of the moderation team for the OSMF and OSM talk mailing lists in addition to the community forum. It is my distinct pleasure to be working with the other members of this group and I always enjoy our monthly meetings.
HOT
When I can, I volunteer time to various HOT initiatives when possible.
Kaart
I am a geographer with the Kaart editing team.
I have worked for Kaart for nearly four years. It was when when I applied to Kaart that I discovered OpenStreetMap. I have been in various positions for them since, including in the capacity of assistant manager.
I particularly like my current job, because it allows me to work alongside our international editors, who are from all regions of the world.
