[OSM-talk] talk Digest, Vol 186, Issue 56

Sat Feb 22 19:18:58 UTC 2020

Looking back at my first steps in editing OSM: when I subscribed I was
presented with a "who is mapping in your area" type of info. I selected a
nearby experienced and recently-active mapper and contacted him via the OSM
message system. He offered me,  and I happily accepted him as my tutor. I
would promote the same approach today. And would suggest to consider
screen-sharing sessions as an additional very efficient means for such
tutoring sessions. OSM is not only open geo data, it's also a community.
