Last few years have been difficult for Pakistani citizens. However the ordinary citizen is so removed from the geopolitical forces driving the conflict in Pakistan that it is hard to imagine how an ordinary citizen may be able to contribute to resolving the conflict. In these circumstanses I was delighted to see the progress that the openstreetmap community in Multan have been making towards mapping their city using Openstreetmap. Here is a video from Aleks created from the GPS tracks that Kashif has been editing for the OSM community in Multan. Keep it up folks!
