So several months back I was approached by someone at CloudMade about using Gangplank for an OpenSreetMap party. I agreed, because that is what we do. I happened to stop by the party and talk to some people about what it is they do. I left understanding very little and wondering how this was different than google maps. The following day I talked to Todd Huffman in some detail about mapping Afghanistan and it all clicked. This stuff is very important. I instantly started to do mapping and contributing. A few months later I answered a survey on the work I was doing and I ended up winning a Garmin eTrex. Yesterday I opened up a FedEx package and a new Garmin and bag were enclosed!!!!! Thanks CloudMade!
