OpenStreetMap, an open source map of the world
OpenStreetMap is an open source project to collaboratively map the entire
world. OpenStreetMap is both free and Free, allowing open access to
geodata. There are over 70,000 participants in OpenStreetMap worldwide,
and community members are using the data to create a variety maps, such as
opencyclemap.org and openrouteservice.org. We are working to increase
participation here in the US. This presentation will focus on the past,
present and future of geodata, OpenStreetMap goals, as well how people can
get involved.
Sarah Manley
Sarah is the community ambassador for OpenStreetMap in the Bay Area of
California. As community ambassador she works to engage a wider range of
participants in OpenStreetMap by organizing mapping parties, speaking
engagements and collaborations with community groups. She is also working
to develop a curriculum that utilizes OpenStreetMap*s data and tools.

Traffic on 101 can be pretty bad in the evening, so we encourage you
to check traffic conditions before driving by dialing 5-1-1 on your
