Since MONTH YEAR our team has aligned XX,000 roads in the United States. For this process we use fresh US government TIGER data (for a background read Eric Fischer's blog post) to show where OpenStreetMap data is out of date, then we trace from imagery as needed and use road names from TIGER.
Here's the map showing the extent of the issue. Pink lines are the progress over US. Full interactive map.

Since September 2012 our team has aligned 260,309 roads in the United States. For this process we use fresh US government TIGER data (for a background read Eric Fischer's blog post) to show where OpenStreetMap data is out of date, then we trace from imagery as needed and use road names from TIGER.

We continue our work on TIGER with @MateoV's recent analysis that focuses on TIGER issues in areas with high Twitter traffic, missing roads, naming issues and road lengths ov

Last week Ruben and I took part in a workshop in Cuzco with Mikel and Erika from MapGive / US State Department. This Workshop was part of the Cusco Secondary Cities Project. Mikel led the workshop with a translator and Erika, Ruben and I jumped in with helping people hands on through the exercises.
There were four learning processes involved in the workshop;
Dear RECIPIENT NAME,
In recent weeks we have made good progress in adding missing parts of CITY to OpenStreetMap [2]. If you haven't heard of OpenStreetMap before, it is like a WikiPedia of maps, providing a comprehensive, open map of the world [3] for anyone to use.
From your website I have seen that you manage street name information [4]. We would love to contribute it to OpenStreetMap to further complete the data of CITY, but we have questions around the licensing of this data.
What are the conditions under which you make street name data and other geo data available?
If you have any specific questions, I'd be happy to get on the phone with you and explain more.
Last week, Ruben and I helped lead an OpenStreetMap workshop in Piura - Perú, set up by Tom Gertin from MapGive/US State departament. This event was promoted by Embassy Lima, MapGive, Piura University and Regional Goverment of Piura.
As the local Spanish speaking OpenStreetMap experts we walked attendees through mapping techniques and got them excited about the project. The workshop helps to grow the OpenStreetMap community in Peru, introduces attendees to Mapbox and helps build our relationship with the US Department of State and the Lima Embassy around OpenStreetMap and MapGive.
