In this talk, I will colloquially go through the path of my person through values that, between discoveries, projects, initiatives, themes, and very broad fields of applications, have led me to settle in the universe of OpenStreetMap for the collective good, particularly in the humanitarian field and sustainable development.
This talk aims to express to the general public, to the technical public, but in particular, to the young public, an itinerary that shows a broad panorama of the possibilities of contribution from all kinds of actions, specialties, and knowledge located from humility, and the immense benefits of this trend.
