Attending State of the Map 2024 in Nairobi, Kenya, was an unforgettable experience that deepened my understanding of mapping and the OpenStreetMap community. It was truly inspiring to be part of such a vibrant and passionate group of mappers and contributors from 54 countries. The sessions on community capacity building, disaster recovery and response, and conservation have reinvigorated my commitment to OpenStreetMap. I’m grateful to the community for supporting our initiatives on Pudussery Panchayat Mapping and the creation of a spatial flood asset database. Special thanks to OSMF for the State of the Map 2024 Travel Grant. I’m excited to continue contributing and collaborating with this amazing community. Here’s to more mapping adventures ahead!
