I first got involved in OpenStreetMap when I joined Mapillary in 2015, but my love of maps started long before that. In fact it started when I was gifted a Dorling Kindersley geographic atlas. Since then I've been fascinated by maps and the way they help us understand the world.
Mapillary is now part of Facebook, and I work as a Program Manager, supporting groups and individuals utilising street-level imagery to solve geospatial problems.
I volunteer as Chair of OSGeo Oceania and contribute regularly to OpenStreetMap.

Session
Pedestrians have been neglected. We’ve seen monumental progress in digital maps, but much of this has been road centric. In this presentation we download data from OpenStreetMap that relates to pedestrians to see how much it differs from the reality on the ground. We contrast different types of cities, seek to understand why pedestrian data is lacking, and look at solutions such as Mapillary that can help make OpenStreetMap more pedestrian friendly.
