Introduction

Hi I’m Daniel, an active contributor to OpenStreetMap in the Tri-State region. I moved to Queens in New York City but am still very active in the Town of Hempstead in Nassau County. Professionally I am in school to become a healthcare provider. Expecting to graduate in January 2024

My Current Mapping Initiatives

OSM Tags with no specific location

• Bus Stops
• Bicycle Parking
• Drinking Water
• Rooftop Solar/Photovoltaic Panals

New York City

• Adding a Bus Route to OSM
• Field mapping with Field Papers
• Pedestrian Routing and Accessibility in New York City

If you’re also editing in NYS/NYC consider joining the local community on the OSMUS Slack in the #local-newyorkstate and #local-nyc channels.

Nassau County, Long Island

• Adding a Bus Route to OSM
• Buildings but more specifically houses
• Addresses
• Seamarks

You should reach out if you:

1. Are mapping Queens and/or Nassau counties and want to collaborate on a project
2. Want Nassau County buildings/addresses to be on OpenStreetMap and would like to hash out a campaign push to Nassau County government
3. Organize a Field Papers mapping event in a NYC/Long Island neighborhood with poor OpenStreetMap coverage
4. Want to say hi!
