Hello! I’m Quincy Morgan. Thank you for considering my candidacy for the board of directors of OpenStreetMap US.

If we haven’t met before, or if you just want to chat about OSM, I encourage you to reach out via OSM, Slack, email, or social media. You can check out my website for detailed information about me, my work, and more ways to contact me.

About

I have been an avid member of the OpenStreetMap community since 2018 in both volunteer and professional capacities. I am the only person to have been employed by both OpenStreetMap US and the OpenStreetMap Foundation. Recently I have organized my activities under Wayside Mapping.

Mapping

As a volunteer mapper, I’ve contributed more than 13,000 changesets over the span of 1,400 mapping days, including more than 3,000 changesets in the past year. My mapping interests are varied but include trails, waterways, peninsulas, scenic routes, monitoring stations, and undermapped places.

Development

As a paid and volunteer open source developer, I have made major contributions to OpenStreetMap tools such as iD, Field Papers, OpenTrailMap, and the openstreetmap.us website. Most recently, I have built and launched themap.is and OSM 411 on my own time.

Life

I’m currently based in New York City but have previously lived in Pennsylvania, California, and Idaho. I’ve spent time in all 48 contiguous United States and all 10 provinces of Canada. When I’m not at my desk, you can find me hiking, biking, paddling, train hopping, or road tripping to the next spot on the map.

Positions

I believe the core roles of a nonprofit board member are threefold:

1. Represent membership

A board member is a democratic representative of the members of the organization. If elected, it would be my job to actively listen to the community and be responsive to their interests.
