• Only remaining independent mapping data supplier, apart from OSM

• Donated data to OSM in 2007 to get an idea of how a mapping community works.

• Launched Map 2.0 to try to build their own community

Mike Collinson – OSM Foundation

• Open Street Map does not exist– Not a formal entity– No-one to give money or call (except Steve Coast)

• Open Street Map Foundation exists– Manages data license– Organises SOTM– Funding operations, admin stuff– Does not control OSM

Steve Coast - Keynote

• SOTM Comments – Organisation& Sponsors• OSM is growing [image]• US coverage “100%” but buggy due to Tiger• Edit wars – Northern Cyprus• API 0.6 – More versioning support• New license almost ready• Cloudmade – APIs, Custom tiles, Isle of Man

Ed Parsons (Google) - MapMaker

• Google (like Multimap) gets data from many providers.

• MapMaker was created to allow them to collect data where data was not available.

• All aerial imagery is licensed, not owned, derivation rights can’t be shared with OSM.

• Restrictive License – Future proofing
