I'm an entrepreneur in geomatics and software development, and also a contributor to OpenStreetMap since 2010. I'm particularly interested in new ways of contributing and mapping accessibility. I created some useful tools for OSM like OpenLevelUp (indoor map), YoHours (editor of opening_hours) and Pic4Review (editor using street-level pictures), and contribute to other open source projects.

I am a freelance geographer and cartographer since my return from my Nomad Maps adventure across the Andes.
I previously worked for 4 years in a town planning agency in Lyon as a GIS Analyst.
I am an OSM member since 2015 and an active contributor since 2018.

I see my role in the OSM community as a communicator to promote the world of collaborative mapping. I am particularly focused on Western Europe, Latin America and French-speaking Africa.
My objective is to create links between local OSM communities and local associations that would need mapping for their development.

A passionate OSM contributor from Ukraine. I started mapping in 2009 trying to find the way how to improve the map for navigation. Along with mapping, I've made translation for JOSM, iD, opesntreetmap.org into Ukrainian with a goal to help Ukrainian mappers to have information in their native language. In late 2014, I joined Mapbox where I work in a variety of areas related to improving the map based on OSM data.

"Angjelina has a degree on Geoinformatics. She is a OSM contributor spending a lot of time to improve the local maps. Currently she works as an IT specialist.

One of the first research papers that she worked on was on "Some Mapping Specifications in the Mining Region of Krasta" which was first introduced in the Western Balkan Conference on GIS, Mine Surveying, Geodesy and Geomatics."

Antoine came across OSM in 2014 and it changed his life. He then turned from a GIS developer to an OpenStreetMap consultant, and founded Carto’Cité with this crazy idea: helping companies be more involved in the community rather than just using the data. Antoine is also a member of OpenStreetMap France and involved locally on numerous voluntary projects.

I used to work in places hit by disaster or war. Now, I’m becoming a scholar of mapping. I love volunteering for OSM, HOT, and OSGeo. In good or bad times, I make nice maps.

I'm the Strategic Partnerships Manager at Mapillary. I work with the community and partners contributing imagery to the platform. Admittedly I first discovered OpenStreetMap when I joined Mapillary in 2015, but I quickly went from "Why would people spend their personal time on this" to "This is an incredible project that I want to be part of". I try to help out in both a work capacity and a personal capacity, arranging mapathons in my local Melbourne, working on FOSS4G SotM Oceania 2018 + 2019, editing in OpenStreetMap, and of course collecting as much street-level imagery as I can.

I love to travel as well and have started to discover the thrill of meeting OpenStreetMap communities in different parts of the world. If you're ever in Melbourne, come and say hi!

// this session, if accepted, should not be listed as "by Frederik Ramm" since I'll only be "hosting" it. Therefore it would be misleading to have my biography here - it's going to be many people.

Gregory held back from joining until he met some OSM guys in the UK in 2006. You may have seen him shout "Maps" on the stage, but he really enjoys chatting to people in the breaks. If it's your first time or you've got every SotM t-shirt that exists, do find him and say hello.

I have contributed in OSM and joined with Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team in Indonesia since 2012. For more than 5 years, I have been involved in a lot of projects using OpenStreetMap in Indonesia. Some of my key contribution are:
First, I make OSM Module (as an editor) that combine basic and intermediate learning material for OpenStreetMap. At the beginning, This module was created for my coolaboration project with Wikimedia Indonesia in East Kalimantan but now after the project finished it available and free to download in https://openstreetmap.id/docs/ModulTutorialOSM25Januari2015.pdf

Secondly, I also make OSM wikimedia pages about refference objects for Indonesia Mapping. I made this page because there was misunderstanding between general page about Map features and real objects in Indonesia. So this page aimed to guide Indonesia OSM users and mapper to map right object with the right information. (https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Id:Referensi_Atribut_Objek_OSM_Indonesia)

Thirdly, I was involved to make a document about OSM Data validation. This document now used in most of our training and we adding it to OSM wiki page as well. (https://github.com/harrymahar/indo-data-validation)

Pierre started humanitarain OSM mapping with the Port-au-Prince earthquake in 2010. He is involved both for humanitarian actions, local community support and locally in Canada. He volunteered for mapping, to develop tools, to coordinate remote actions and advocate for major OSM Responses from 2012 (see Slideshare presentations). Pierre and others innovated using maps, Mobile units and diligent actions to support the logistic of the responses and develop an efficient ecosystem with the responders.
They succeeded to convince the UN Agencies and humanitarian NGO's to use OpenStreetMap as the De Facto map for emergencies.

He had the opportunity to meet OSM communities in various countries including Haiti and Sénégal. He participated in various training actions for local communities and developped OSM statistics & Map tools (OpenSource). He is the orginal author of the Highway Tag Africa wiki page. The OSM Image week1 2013 shows Minova, DRC mapped in three days while 100,000 displaced people seek refuge in the town.

More recently, while contributing with Potentiel 3.0 and OSM-DRC to develop the DR Congo OSM community and the OpenCities Project in Kinshasa, he started to develop the Building Mapping Quality Project and published various articles on the subject. The team also had to focus rapidly on the 2018 DR Congo Ebola Response. This tool helped to monitor quality problems in Butembo and react quickly. At the same time, he continues to develop the quality tool to integrate buildings orthogonal corrections.

Long time mapper who tried mostly everything. Mapping local area and where I traveled doing surveys. Mapping cycling and hiking routes. Mapping all bus stops in Belgium and the buses and trams itineraries. Did a bit of HOT mapping and validating as well. I'm proofreading Weekly OSM in several languages and editing some of the articles, as I would be reading them anyway.

Contributed over half a million pictures to Mapillary and this summer that number will increase tremendously, as I found a new job auditing cycle "highway" infrastructure in Flanders, the northern part of Belgium.
