Map of the area we are in right now.
This is what Kathmandu looked like in July 2011. Notice all of the gaps between all the streets inside the ring road. Very little outside the ring road is mapped.
By June 2011, we had ~230,000 features, and 224 contributors contributing to edits with Nepal.
At the end of July 2011, we held a mapping party with FOSS-Nepal. This was the beginnings of the OSM Nepal community.
In July 2012, the http://monsooncollective.org held a mapping party, as well as mapping the public transportation routes within Kathmandu.
More serious mapping begin with the MapKathmandu project by adyota.org. This was the effort in one neighborhood of Kathmandu. However, the effort is very localized at this point.
Then, the WorldBank funded OpenDRI survey helped OSM community grow much more. Here is Project Lead Nama Budhathoki presenting to a group of KU students.
The community grew by leaps and bounds. Mapping Parties would end by having a cake with the map printed on it.
