We begin with a
   refrain...
Rember that OSM
    Evolved
This Mapping Thing Could Really Take Off

PRESENT
Data Models
It started with nodes
This Mapping Thing Could Really Take Off
then segments
This Mapping Thing Could Really Take Off
then much later,
     ways
This Mapping Thing Could Really Take Off
The API design
infected the UI
nodes, then
segments, then ways
Rember that OSM
    Evolved
...only much later do we
   鍖nd that the model,
despite much argument,
is what Real Companies
       basically use
Some Lessons
Segments were supposed
     to be tagged
Tags worked really well...
...but there were
supposed to be tag
    equivalences
Tags create debate
Tags create community
WFS-T is still dumb
N/S/W simplicity wins
Google Tiles have killed
        WMS
Work鍖ow was supposed
     to be split -
      GPS
      Vectorisation
      Classi鍖cation
How to run a
F/LOSS project
Dont listen to anyone,
they only say everything
     is impossible
Dont listen to anyone,
they only say everything
       is possible
In short - nobody is
     pragmatic
Pragmatism wins
Concentrate on
       community
(it helps if you wrote all
   the server code too)
This means debates (tags),
  pubs (mapping parties),
  simplicity (N/S/W) and
spreading the gospel (talks)
Ive given over 40
presentations on OSM
   in 6 countries...
...and lots of people still
     havent heard of
        wikipedia
Give people doing the
 work responsibility
(sysadmin, tile, www,
       OSMF)
Ignore everyone else
(unless 鍖amewars look fun)
We only got here by
totally ignoring the GIS
         industry
GPS Inaccurate
WFS-T required
Tags will never work
Database will be too big
OS have mastermap

Should OSM be an

Kernel, XFree, KDE &c.
Data models...
We *still* dont have
PostgreSQL, geoSQL
 or a new data model
It remains to be seen
whether anyone will
   ever do the work
We dont know when
the UK / World will be
       鍖nished
  (mid-2008 anyone?)
Or what map maintenance
      will look like
(opposed to map creation)
We know were going to
 be at least 50% wrong
(Rember that OSM
   will Evolve)
But it will be fun.
The journey is the reward
Thanks for all the maps
