Žmonės iš viso pasaulio prisideda prie OpenStreetMap arba naudojasi juo. Daugelis dalyvauja kaip individualūs asmenys, kiti yra sukūrę bendruomenes. Šios grupės yra įvairaus dydžio ir atstovauja įvairioms geografinėms teritorijoms – nuo mažų miestelių iki didelių daugiašalių regionų. Jos taip pat gali būti formalios arba neformalios.

Vietiniai skyriai

Local Chapters are country-level or region-level groups that have taken the formal step of establishing not-for-profit legal entities. They represent the area's map and mappers when dealing with local government, business, and media. They have also formed an affiliation with the OpenStreetMap Foundation (OSMF), giving them a link to the legal and copyright governing body.

The following communities are formally established as Local Chapters:

• OpenStreetMap Belgium
• OpenStreetMap RDC
• OpenStreetMap CZ
• OpenStreetMap France
• OpenStreetMap Ireland
• OpenStreetMap Iceland
• OpenStreetMap Italy
• Free Libre Open Source Software Kosova (FLOSSK)
• OSGeo Oceania
• GeoLibres
• OpenStreetMap Austrija
• OpenStreetMap Vokietija
• OpenStreetMap Japonija
• OpenStreetMap Poland
• OpenStreetMap JAV
• OpenStreetMap Freemap Slovakia
• Swiss OpenStreetMap Association

Kitos grupės

There is no need to formally establish a group to the same extent as the Local Chapters. Indeed many groups exist very sucessfully as an informal gathering of people or as a community group. Anyone can set up or join these. Read more on the Bendruomenių viki puslapis.
