[Talk-in] OSM 2007 and now

[Arun Ganesh]

Those interested in some OSM history: The first Indian roads was added by
me in Chennai when the rest of the country is blank save for some railway
lines in Mumbai.

Interestingly, Madras was also where the first baseline for the Great
Trigonometrical Survey
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Trigonometrical_Survey> was measured
in 1802.

Bengaluru was not even in the correct location:
