The document summarizes OpenStreetMap data and activity in the Philippines. It finds that there is significant OSM activity and data in urbanized areas of the Philippines. The top tags used in the Philippines relate to amenities, shops, emergencies, and transportation. Major mapping efforts have included disaster response to Typhoon Haiyan in 2013, and ongoing government-partnered efforts to map buildings and infrastructure across provinces for disaster preparedness. OSM Philippines also tracks issues and organizes local mapping events and parties. The insights shared emphasize the importance of collaboration, inclusion, and having a welcoming community to engage new contributors.

30. Insights
● OSM is #1! – in the humanitarian mapping space, and niche mapping (like finding the nearest
fire hyrant).
● All contributors are important – A community is only sustainable by ensuring a welcoming
space for new contributors, where they can be made comfortable to explore, learn, and
engage. However, we still suck at welcoming new mappers.
● Hold fast to shared, core values – Our values: Diversity, inclusiveness, participatory action,
promotion of Free Software, and Open Knowledge.
● Re-invent yourself – Feedback help determine what works - and what doesn’t. Don’t get
dogmatic.
●
Network, network. - By pursuing a strategy of collaboration, we’ve expanded our
engagements many times over.
● Don’t forget to have fun! - Learn the difference: serious vs. sincere.
