Abstract
OpenStreetMap is at the center of a data and software revolution that has completely changed what we expect from maps and how we interact with them. The project has defined open map collaboration, it is a cradle of open software innovation, is used by businesses and governments, enables startups against industry giants and has opened the power of GIS to the underprivileged and poor. OpenStreetMap is only one of very few commercially viable global geospatial datasets. Ten years into the project, it is clear that OpenStreetMap is not an impossible quest nor a fluke of history, but it is here to stay and grow. An amazing and growing community, this year, OpenStreetMap crossed the two million users mark. Every month, 30,000 users log into the map and improve it. And OpenStreetMap stands to attract even more attention: Data of large proprietary vendors continues to be effectively not available to a huge part of the market due to rigid licensing; rumors around Nokia's HERE changing owners are at an all time high. This talk sweeps through OpenStreetMap's history and gives a detailed look at the state of the project in statistics and visualizations, including recent map developments in Asia. It reviews OpenStreetMap's strengths and weaknesses and makes predictions for the future of OpenStreetMap. We'll finish up with opportunities and needs for the project to grow as an open data community and a suite of open source software tools.
