The OpenStreetMap Community
Jochen Topf
Over the last 20 years the OpenStreetMap (OSM) project has collected an enormous amount of data about our planet and written a lot of Open Source software. OSM-based maps and apps are everywhere. How do you organize two million contributors in a mostly volunteer project to work on a common goal? And what exactly is that common goal?
