I am working a talk for DORS/CLUC in Zagreb about #OSM.
My topic is how and why to start contributing to #OpenStreetMap as a total beginner. I'll be showcasing tools such as @streetcomplete , @everydoor, @MapComplete.
I'll be also talking about #gamification, #community, helping projects like #hotOSM and #OpenHistoryMap.
Do you have any tricks or ideas you would like me to include into the talk. How would you encourage a total stranger to start contributing?

in reply to Bogomil Shopov - Бого • • •Ooh, nice! You can get some inspiration from my (@pietervdvn) introductory talk at State of the map, a few years ago: pietervdvn.duckdns.org/sharing…
One of the most important slides IMHO is the 'Pareto frontier' which graphs 'easy of use' vs 'number of features'.
Another important thing is the difference between @MapComplete and @streetcomplete : the latter is meant only for adding data, whereas #MapComplete is meant for both consuming and contributing data.
MapComplete
in reply to MapComplete • • •And even more important: MapComplete is a collection of different, thematic map. Each map is aimed towards their own community (e.g. cyclists have mapcomplete.org/cyclofix, parents have the mapcomplete.org/playground map, sport people have a mapcomplete.org/sport_pitches map, outdoor lovers have mapcomplete.org/nature, emergency services loved mapcomplete.org/aed)
As such, it unbundles OSM into easier-to-use chunks and sidesteps some complexity

For that, our solution is to give them a map tailored to their interest and to make it easy to contribute.
