Hi,

many years ago at SotMs there used to be a track of talks in which the
speaker would present the state of OSM in their country or region -
the community, the unique challenges, etc. I always really enjoyed
those talks because they were a chance to learn about the diversity of
the world while also reminding us that we're all the same in our
desire to create a great and open map.

Like the vast majority of OSMers I won't be able to attend SotM this
year (though I will be at WhereCamp Berlin please say hello if you're
there), but I'm fortunate to have a job that lets me work on OSM. I'm
one of the people behind the OpenCage geocoder:

We thought we'd revive the country report tradition by interviewing
people from the different communities on our blog. We've done a few
now, listed below. Hope you enjoy them, and if you'd like to tell the
world about OSM in our part of the world we'd love to hear from you

enjoy,
Ed

We also do interviews in general with anyone doing interesting things
in open geo data generally or OSM specifically. See

Final note - would especially love to interview anyone who's done on
the ground mapping in Antarctica or similarly remote place.
