How OpenStreetMap Assists My Weird Lifestyle

The talk will start with a brief introduction to the OpenStreetMap project.

We'll then talk about some of my unusual interests and lifestyle choices (e.g. not buying packaged drinking water, to reduce plastic waste) and how contributing to OpenStreetMap supports those interests and choices (e.g. by adding drinking water dispensers to OpenStreetMap).

We hope to inspire participants to discover similar avenues where OpenStreetMap can help them in their daily lives, so they may take up using OSM and contributing to it.

Finally, we'll conclude by sharing some resources -

1. OSM-based navigation applications for end-users,

2. simple editing applications for contributors,

3. resources for developers to use OSM in their own projects,

4. ways to join the Indian OSM community and participate in its events.
