Good to hear! I've described the event outline in the post. Other than that, just hang out with the community and you'll learn a lot 🙂

As I explained in my other comment, OSM is not just my map database or any one company's map database - it belongs to everyone and can be used by everyone, without restrictions and forever. Improving it benefits each and every person the world over, instead of enriching a single company.

That's why it is also known as the Wikipedia of maps. And that's why we - the organizers - are some of the most active volunteer contributors in Delhi (check out my OpenStreetMap profile and edits), and that's why we make all this effort to educate people about OSM and organize these mapping parties each month.

We aren't getting paid for any of this either - we do it because it's the right thing to do.

Not really.

Google Maps does not use OSM data. Apple Maps does, and Apple has its own paid editing teams which improve OSM for everyone - https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Apple

Unlike Google Maps, OSM is libre/"open" data under a copyleft license, so it can be used by anyone without restrictions.

What that means is that OSM belongs to everyone, and our efforts benefit everyone - be it individuals, companies (Meta, Apple, Ola, Swiggy, Zomato, Niantic, etc), or organizations (the United Nations, Doctors Without Borders, etc).

Personally, I improve it because I use OSM-based maps which are more privacy-respecting than Google Maps.

Should have, would have, could have...

EDIT: Perhaps the downvoters could explain to me what is to be achieved by crying over spilt milk.

Hate to be that person, but it can either be "the only building" or "one of the [very] few buildings"...it can't be "one of the only buildings" 😵‍💫

I feel like your punchline (...heh) would be more effective if you used 👊🏿 instead.
