After almost four and a half years in Turkmenistan, Ann and I will depart in June upon completion of my tour of duty as U.S. ambassador here. My successor was confirmed by the U.S. Senate this week and so I must depart to make room for him. Since we started mapping Turkmenistan, we have posted over half a million ground-level images on Mapillary, over 280,000 edits, created these wiki articles:
| Ahal Province | Ashgabat | Anew | Balkan Province | Balkanabat | Dashoguz | Dashoguz Province | Districts in Turkmenistan |
| Gazetteer of Ashgabat Street Names | Lebap Province | Mary (Turkmenistan) | Mary Province | Turkmenabat |
| Turkmenbashy | Turkmenistan Geoname Changes | Tag:office=diplomatic, |
and expanded the Turkmenistan wiki article to approximately 10,000 words. We have dug up authoritative lists of all municipalities in Turkmenistan, created from scratch a gazetteer of street names in Ashgabat, and added over 11 thousand roads and streets.
Alas, our contributions will mostly come to an end with our departure, but I hope that people I have trained over the past four years will continue to contribute to the Turkmenistan map in OSM.

You are not the typical Hollywood ambassador.

Thank you very much for all your contributions and level headed comments you’ve made.
I wish you good luck on your next endeavor. And remember, you can still edit in OSM when you get resettled.

Thank you for everything you’ve done to improve the map in one of the least mapped countries in OSM. I’ll miss the interesting diaries about your adventures around Turkmenistan, especially as someone who travels regularly to less developed countries for work. You and Ann are superstar OSM contributors.
Best of luck on your next assignment or wherever your work takes you.

thanks from me too, your contributions have become inseparable in my mind from your (i write this from my own perspective of adopting several countries as ‘mine’) country, and i appreciate all you have added to osm.
best wishes.

Thanks for your contribution to OSM in a place where such detail is surely needed.

You’ve set a great example for collaboration between OpenStreetMap and a government agency. Thanks for all your contributions and good luck in your future mapping endeavors.

Thank you so much for your brilliant work. Wherever you go next, I hope your diary will be as interesting and enjoyable as the one from Turkmenistan.
