What did it effort to motivate you to participate in OpenStreetMap

The pizza delivery guy was using an OSM based program but we live in a new area that has recently been developed. Google nor Bing have the addresses put in yet so the only thing is that. So I started with some street names and the numbers on the houses hoping that stuff would start updating on his end. Then I noticed the possibilities with mapping the bush and water sources for the fire fighters. We’ve had 3 bush fires this summer (Australia really is stuffed!) and the emergency services all run OSM based programs. Our landscape is changing too fast for non-crowed sourced data to be used.
