Happy 20th birthday OpenStreetMap - Online Mapping Party to celebrate

Posted by IrdiIs on 6 August 2024 in English. Last updated on 8 August 2024.

Together with LibreLabs Albania and OpenStreetMap Albania, we decided to celebrate the 20th birthday with an Online Mapping Party. We decided to “Map the Balkans”, so we extracted 55 villages from 11 countries, and we will come together on the 10th at 19:00 to celebrate and map.

I am struggling to write a diary entry every day, but I am making up for it by mapping more in the surrounding areas of every village I map. During the past 5 days i have mapped the villages:

1 - Bubq

2 - Mengël

3 - Gjokaj

4 - Nangë

5 - Bicaj

6 - Ngraçan

7 - Bishqethem

A big thank you to ibanez for mapping Bllatë e Poshtme.

Even though I have not been able to write a diary entry every day, I have managed to map a village or more every day.

Now I am at the airport of Athens, waiting for the airplane to travel back home, and found the time to write this diary entry. In the past days I have mapped the villages Pac, Gjergjan, Kaçinar, Romës, Selckë, Bukmirë and many smaller villages surrounding the above-mentioned villages.

I would also like to publicly thank again perenniallylate for mapping other two villages in Albania, Rusinjë and Kuqar.

I am mapping every day, but i am unable to write a diary entry for every day i map. due to limited internet access and being on the move most of the time.

During the past 4 days, including today, i have mapped Villages Mesul, Cerjan, Bishqem and Papër and i have done a lot of mapping in Kosovo.

I have also gotten some private message these days to whom i have been unable to respond, so i ask you to bear with me. I will be back home in a week and will catch up with you all. Thanks a lot for contributing on mapping Albania! <3

“#100villagesin100days “

These days i am very busy and i have not been able to write a diary entry as I do every day, but i have mapped some villages and improved some already mapped villages. Too tired, to remember the names or go back and look them up. Hopefully ill get some more free time in the next days to make a more detailed diary entry.
