I think the first sign I saw of OSM was in a post on slashdot in June 2006.

March 2008... not sure how I heard about OSM, I think it was through
something geocache related, maybe a post by someone. I went to the
OpenStreetMap website
I probably read the same article as RWeait. Couldn't contribute much,
as I didn't have a GPS at the time though. My father got a GPS that
Christmas, so I added my home street. I'm pretty sure it was the first
street to be added to British Columbia. I think it was a couple months
later that the
I think I used maps generated from OSM data on my Lowrance GPS before I
knew what OSM was. I was looking for freely available maps of Poland
for a trip I did there with my family a few years ago. More recently I
used similar maps on my Garmin when my wife and I traveled to Prague and
Poland.
You know, I haven't a clue. I signed up in May 2007, but didn't
actually start mapping until July 2010.

I had heard of it a few years ago, but it wasn't until last summer at the
ESRI GIS user conference in San Diego that I talked to someone about it.
ESRI developed an extension to ArcGIS for OSM editing. It never worked for
me, but i then found out about the Potlatch then JOSM. I much prefer JOSM.
I'm a geeky guy who's always been into mapping. My first GPS was the Garmin
GPS 38 (a single channel receiver that could track up to 8 satellites but took
forever to get a lock). But right from the beginning, I was hooked - I even
used it in 1999 to do a Study of the Accuracy of Averaged
