The early days of OpenStreetMap
blog.systemed.net
A personal blog post by an early OpenStreetMap contributor recounting the project's formative years, hosted on the Système D blog.
This is a first-hand history of OpenStreetMap's beginnings, written by someone who was directly involved. It offers personal anecdotes and details that official timelines often miss, making it a valuable read for anyone curious about how the collaborative map project started. The post reads like a genuine remembrance rather than a polished corporate story, which adds to its charm.
