Location: Stockton-on-Tees, UK I've been a mapper since 12 January 2008

I'm mostly interested in mapping my home town Stockton-on-Tees, When I made my first edit my town was represented by 2 intersecting roads, It has come a long way since then. My current task is a very arduous one, I hope to have every dwelling in my town to be represented by an outline and have a full address and postcode, to my estimation this is the best way to make a OSM useful resource for commercial, governmental and free culture purposes (Not to mention routing for sat nav).

I also consider beyond the aesthetics of the map it should be backed up by a wealth of metadata, opening times and telephone numbers for businesses and local amenities are an important part of what I hope the map will become, a complete guide to anything that exists in the physical world.
