[talk-ph] Happy 10th Birthday OSM! Tell us your story.

[Eugene Alvin Villar]

Happy birthday!

How did I start? Well, I first created an account in
OSM in July 28, 2007. And I've been hooked ever since. You can all read
about how I started on my blog:

“OpenStreetMap Does the Philippines”, August 4, 2007 (a week after I
created an account)

“OpenStreetMapping My Neighborhood”, September 1, 2007 (a month after)
http://vaes9.codedgraphic.com/posts/osm_my_neighborhood

I've also blogged about OSM many times over the past 7 years:
