Telenav / Scout image

This is a YouTube video uploaded on 7 Aug 2014 by ScoutbyTeleNav, and celebrates 10 years of OSM existence at that time, giving a visual demonstration of the month-by-month build of OSM by all it’s contributors. This video makes me proud to have added a little to OSM, even though for me that did not start until after this video was made.

And yes, I know that this is a bit old but watch it anyway, and I think that you will agree that it is an excellent video, worth watching. The music (also excellent) is Open Electro by Vincent Girès from the album Silence.

There is another version of this that covers 2006-Jan 2018 here.

@TheSwavu:
Thanks TheSwavu but gosh, it’s more than a touch boring!

One thing that that version of OSM exemplifies, perhaps, is the necessary pairing between science & art. The video produced by Telenav is art with a scientific core or, to put it another way, science graced by art. The later video may well be scientifically accurate but has little grace, which is a shame.
