OpenStreetMap
Hi everybody,
I’m a newcomer enthusiast focused mainly in editing in Tirana (Albania) and Elbasan (Albania). It seems like there is a greater need for projects like OSM in Albania since foreigners that visit the country, but also locals find it hard to find directions to move around cities.
I really hope to make the first steps for the OMS community in Albania in order to grow the project even more.
Cheers,
Diskuto

Hello, and welcome to OSM!
A did a bit of reasearch whether there are any local OSM related channels, maybe on OSM forums or OSM mailinglists … but nothing special for Albania … Do you already have other ways how to get in contact with other mappers around you?

Indeed there is not much activity related to Albania on OSM, but there is a community hosted at Open Labs Hackerspace in Tirana working hard to initiate and build the Albanian OSM community. @Xhendris (osm.org/user/Xhendris) is one of the members of the team actually initiating OSM meetups. Have a look here: http://openlabs.cc/openstreetmap-takim-i-hapur-1/. If you have any tips on community building for Albania, as an experienced user, please let me know.

Pascal Neis offers a good service to find active people around you: http://resultmaps.neis-one.org/oooc?zoom=9&lat=41.16361&lon=20.21811&layers=B00TFFFFFT The biggest Albanian community seems to be in Tirana. You could maybe ask Lambertus if it’s possible to open an users:Albania channel http://forum.openstreetmap.org/profile.php?id=2
Have fun mapping
