Indeed Hats off to OSM. The world with OSM is a better place. And all Android apps like MapsMe make it so good that you are never lost. Free Geospatial Data= OSM.

It is also interesting to see the community links of the Open Street Map and the Open Source Geospatial Foundation (OSGeo) expanding rapidly both locally and globally. OSM has now reaching the level of a Global Mapping Agency build by the efforts of thousands of volunteers and OSGeo is the world's largest geospatial ecosystem. What a great combination of synergies. Both initiatives are just over a decade old and have fundamentally changed the whole geolandscape. Myself and colleagues are working on a paper on OSM and OSGeo and i want to use this meeting to discuss more ideas with the community. I look forward to welcome you all to RDA meeting in Barcelona.
