The document is an introduction to OpenStreetMap presented by David Dean. It discusses that OpenStreetMap is free geographic data that can be used for various purposes and is editable through a wiki-like interface. OpenStreetMap data is updated more rapidly than proprietary map providers and includes data beyond just roads. The presentation highlights how OpenStreetMap has been used for humanitarian purposes, such as creating maps of Kibera, Kenya and mapping efforts after the 2010 Haiti earthquake. It encourages participants to help map by tracing imagery, collecting real world data, reporting issues, or organizing mapping parties.
