I am creating these lists as reference for myself, mainly because I haven't figured out how to save comments on a changeset.

The edits below were all done in Potlatch which I'm still trying to figure out. In the future I plan to work in JOSM but I haven't updated to the latest version and also need to add a necessary plugin.

https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/1216257 :: 7 nodes, 1 way :: Tempe, Arizona, US
Hurricane was showing me how to use Potlatch so we made these very minor edits around the library.

https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/1219321 :: 7 nodes, 2 ways :: Tempe, Arizona, US
Just a few edits around the Southern & McClintock intersection.

https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/1242440 :: 62 nodes, 14 ways :: Tempe, Arizona, US
Edits around the Baseline & McClintock intersection and a school near Guadalupe west of McClintock.

https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/1244570 :: 148 nodes, 25 ways :: Port Angeles, Washington, US
Found that there is much clean up work and additions needed in the Port Angeles area. I wish I had been using OSM when I was staying there last summer! I made some handwritten maps while I was there but I'm not certain that I kept them. I have a good spacial memory so I should still be able to do quite a bit.

https://www.openstreetmap.org/changeset/1245663 :: 1 node, 0 ways :: Port Angeles, Washington, US
Just an extra node for PA.

Unnumbered Changeset :: 1,000,000 nodes
It's only 2:30 am right now. Over 21 hours left in the day! Wild horses couldn't keep me away...

I understood Potlatch much better after working on Port Angeles but I still have far to go. For instance, I can't figure out how to close/save when I am finished. On the last edit I tried hitting 'C' and the box popped up to make closing notes. I clicked save (tried twice) but it shows as "still editing". Plan to look into this tomorrow (i.e. later today).

I went out for about 2 to 2 1/2 hours on Saturday night, then again for 1 1/2 to 2 hours on Sunday. I wasn't aware that the GPS receiver I was using had a limited storage capacity, so several hours of my trace are missing.

Thankfully it seems that all my way points were saved. That was really a relief. I took such thorough notes that it isn't really a problem anyway.

All part of the learning curve!

Here she is, my second trace for the mapping party!

[Location referenced below is Boulders on Broadway in Tempe, Arizona (US).]

Attended my first mapping party today with Meetup.com group Arizona OpenStreetMappers and members of PLUG (Phoenix Linux User Group). I was really excited to borrow a GPS unit and begin mapping!

Steve Coast and Hurricane McEwen from CloudMade hosted the event at Boulders on Broadway in Tempe, Arizona (US). Around 15 - 20 people came through, and it was fun meeting and chatting with fellow openmappers.

My trace covered about two hours. I could have kept going all day!

Another mapping party is set for tomorrow as well. Looking forward to mapping some more before then....

Here's a link to my first trace.
