It was like getting back to the start point for all of us, revisiting the basics of OSM with my in-person training in Grab last June 30 for the KartaView x OSM Philippines meetup event. It was a great event that allowed me and fellow mappers to share about our knowledge in Basic ID editor and other mapping methods while also contributing to map data in areas recently affected by the Mt. Kanlaon eruption in the Philippines.

Truth be told, a lot of the participants are already quite experienced when it comes to OSM, but this also provided me the opportunity to have a more hands-on teaching session with those that are still learning or still getting used to the Basic ID Editor. It was a great experience to be able to teach and guide more closely and watch our beginner participants progress and be able to contribute to the task, beginning with creating an OSM Account, to adding features through ID editor and saving their changes!
