Aim – make Chennai city a showcase
I talked when people were looking
And I mapped when they weren't
the media loved it..
the plan seemed to be working..
And we’ve beaten google.
Getting people to contributeBusRoutes.in
making OSM useful in our lives
obstacles Fix the main site, visually and functionally Organise the wiki Integrate different OSM applications More focus on making paper maps Build a lightweight editor focused on non
technical users Publicity material
Think about India, no one does
