Great article on OpenStreetMap from GPS Business News

Exploring communit[ies] – Pink Iguana

Zoë Blackler, blogging under the title Pink Iguana, has written a nice blog posting (featuring yours truly) about her exploration of communities. She’s doing research for a book about changing communities – in her case, immigrating to a new country. Of course, place is part of her exploration, and thus maps. She has been to my last two mapping parties in the NYC area. But don’t listen to me, go read about it at The Pink Iguana’s Lost and Found posting.
