I remember going to an event in 2006 called "Mapchester" in Manchester, UK to gather data for OSM with GPS units and digital cameras. It's come an incredibly long way since then!

There are a lot of great "community achievements" -- some being more than others.. or based on opinions. - Linux Kernel + GNU - Blender, Gimp, Git, other free/open software, etc - OpenStreeMap, Wikipedia, etc - Programming languages, etc. - + more
I agree, but the contributions of these other projects have a barrier to entry being that it requires people to largely program. Wikipedia, OpenStreetMap? Anyone can contribute, and the tools to do so have been made all the more accessible.
Agreed.
