===Guillaume Rischard===
----'''Guillaume Rischard ''' from Luxembourg maps as [http://hdyc.neis-one.org/?Stereo Stereo], which is easier to [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L4U_bVf9xFE&t=53s pronounce]. When he discovered OpenStreetMap in 2008, there were only a few main roads displayed around him. He didn’t take the project seriously. In 2011, he ran into it again, and saw that the map had become a lot more detailed. He spotted a missing name, and when he saw it displayed on the map when he refreshed right after saving it, he was hooked. When he uploads a changeset, he still likes to open that place in his browser while it still hasn’t rendered, open the same URL in a new tab a few seconds later, then switch between the tabs.
He works as a freelance data consultant, and was the technical lead and helped drive strategy on the [https://data.public.lu/en/ Luxembourg Open Data Portal], where one success was getting the addresses, orthoimagery and [https://data.public.lu/en/datasets/bd-l-tc-version-2008-1/ official map data of Luxembourg] released.
He is a member of the Data Working Group and Membership Working Group, and occasionally contributes to the OSM Weekly.
