Welcome fellow mappers

My name is Kai, born 1982 in Bremen, Germany.

I started mapping in OSM to edit features for my other hobby Genealogy - and used the maps long before while Geocaching.

Shoutouts to the German Telegram Group where many nice people have answered a lot of my newbie questions :-)

If you’d like to learn more about me, just have a look at my user page. If you’re dissatisfied with any of my edits, feel free to edit my talk page.

Since January 2025 I’m a member of OSM’s Data Working Group (DWG). Regarding any actions or decisions made in that context, please only contact data@openstreetmap.org.

Contact

If you’d like to contact me, either use the OSM message function or contact me on the only social media channel that I monitor, @kmpoppe@nerdculture.de on Mastodon - or on Telegram/@kmpoppe.
