This document discusses the growth of OpenStreetMap mapping in Nepal from 2011 to 2015. It notes that in 2011 there were only around 25 mappers and 2.9 lakh mapped features, but that serious mapping began in 2012 with the mapping of Kathmandu. It describes how Kathmandu Living Labs was formed in 2013 to organize OSM efforts in Nepal and how they conducted many mapping parties to engage students, NGOs, and developers. The document also outlines how key areas like schools and hospitals have been mapped as well as individual communities. It concludes that now there are over 1800 contributors who have mapped over 26 lakh geographic elements.

Editor's Notes
- #4: Map of the area we are in right now.
- #5: 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.
- #6: By June 2011, we had ~230,000 features, and 224 contributors contributing to edits with Nepal.
- #7: At the end of July 2011, we held a mapping party with FOSS-Nepal. This was the beginnings of the OSM Nepal community.
- #8: In July 2012, the http://monsooncollective.org held a mapping party, as well as mapping the public transportation routes within Kathmandu.
- #9: 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.
- #10: 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.
- #11: The community grew by leaps and bounds. Mapping Parties would end by having a cake with the map printed on it.
- #13: Mapping Party with KU Students.
- #14: We worked with Faculty, who could use OSM in their classes.
- #15: Mapping Party with Red Cross
- #16: Developers Meet Up
- #18: Earthquake data for schools and hospitals
- #25: Lakh = 100,000.
- #26: Derived from Nepal OSM History (.osh) file. Contributing users = users making at least one edit within Nepal.
