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
