Playing MapRoulette, you get dropped in all these random locations on earth. This really makes my mind wander sometimes.
Here is Cambridge, Ohio:

A nice enough town. Probably friendly people. BUT NOT VERY MANY MAPPERS AMONG THEM:
A fellow mapper suggested this simple & brilliant idea: OSM Sister Towns. Why don’t we team up towns (and cities) in need of mapping help with towns elsewhere in the world that have mapping forces to spare? They could use the Tasking Manager, MapRoulette, or just iD / JOSM with aerial imagery to help out the town in need. I foresee face to face meet-ups at SOTM and new global bonds of mapping friendship!

They could also use some help in other departments…

I’ve been helping out a few other cities via mapcraft (mapcraft.nanodesu.ru); just wish it were easier to draw people’s attention there.

I adopted Wiggins, Colorado, USA during Operation Cowboy in 2012. The city looked like Fort Morgan in the east, but look at it now: osm.org/#map=15/40.2318/-104.0765
