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.
