There was some anxiety about this afternoon's forecast, but finally, after two years, a face-to-face meet-up with a few of the local awesome folks of an #OpenStreetMap community in #Manila, celebrating #OSM18

RT https://en.osm.town/@MapAmore/108816054523433906

Three of us came in our bikes, and 12 out of the 13 participants, are regular bikers. Our "new normal."

It did rain, eventually, and #Tanuki went home in the trunk because I didn't bring any rain gear.

A #trifold #biker's cheat mode: multi-modal, anytime.

Earlier today, an #OpenStreetMap community in #Manila celebrated #OSM18 with a small get-together. Our first face-to-face cakeday event since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020.

Neither a flat, nor a little rain is going to stop us from having our cake! Thanks for the treat #UPRIYouthMappers 🎂, and cheers 🥳 to our special benefactor. 😉

Best wishes for all #OpenStreetMap folks were shared in this impromptu interview: https://youtu.be/-tO8Pu9sp1E

امشب و به بهانه ۱۸ سالگی #اوپن‌استریت‌مپ، به بهبود این نقشه آزاد در مناطق دورافتاده کمک خواهم کرد. روستاها و مسیرهای دسترسی بسیاری در مناطق محروم ایران درج نشده‌اند.

Are you interested in places and maps? Open mapping enthusiasts in #Manila are organizing a meet-up to celebrate #OpenStreetMap's 18th cakeday! #OSM18

What to expect? We can tell you how to get #Libre/#Free maps, talk about map apps, and there will be those who can share more technical info.

We'd be happy to just chat about the weather, too. 😄
