  1. I am currently in Port Au Prince with the Fairfax

    County Urban Search & Rescue Team (USA-1) out of Fairfax, VA, USA. I wish there was a way that I can express to you properly how important your OSM files were to us.
  2. One has to be true; 1. The human species is

    very likely to go extinct before reaching a “posthuman” stage 2. Any posthuman civilization is extremely unlikely to run a significant number of simulations of their evolutionary history (or variations thereof) 3. We are almost certainly living in a computer simulation.
  3. OSM as legacy • As project grows, push new boundaries

    • Data model • Servers • Talks • SotM • OSMF
  4. OSMF • Data vs community • Top down vs bottom

    up • Design direction vs waiting for code
  5. OSMCUC 2013 • OpenStreetMap Commercial Users Conference • Address the

    specific needs of those adopting or looking to adopt OSM • A forum to share opportunities and challenges
  6. Free & Open Tradeoff Free & Open Proprietary $0, put

    up with quality $BIG, very consistent
  7. OODA Primer • Observe –Look around, look at the KPIs,

    what’s happening? • Orient –How does it fit my mental model? • Decide –Make the choice • Act –Enact that choice
  8. Maps Change Continuously • Map data & attributes change 24x7x365

    • Typical commercial checkpoints are 3/6/12 months
  9. Why CCBySA? • Forces a return on investment • Levels

    expectations • Strong history • Don’t want the jigsaw problem • Monetizable vs elsewhere chunking
  10. Why ODbL? • Three pillars • Contract, License, Copyright •

    Clarify use cases • Mashup points on a map • Cartography vs Data
