Hello, My name is Enock Seth Nyamador from Aflao, Ghana and I've been on the list for few weeks now. I call myself an Open Source addict :-) making me always involved in open projects.
One of the things I do on the internet is contribute to Wikipedia. (Part of Wikipedians in Ghana) I got introduced to OSM when a Peace Corps volunteer in Ghana told me about Peace Corps Mapdown [1]. I opened up my browser and started mapping my community. I've seen there are OSMers in Ghana but we don't have any community which we can use to interact. After looking at other countries including Togo (Aflao is the major boarder town to and fro Ghana / Togo) with osm community I decided to start OSMGhana [2]. Which will lead to bringing community together, undertaking mapping projects, organising mapping events and raising more awareness and a lot more. Steps I've taken is to send message via osm to mappers who have mapped places natives / people within country can map. I've received feedback from some and they're in support. I'll be glad with any suggestions and advise from you all. 1. http://pcmapdown.herokuapp.com/ 2. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Ghana Regards, Enock
