Russ is currently pitching Open Data. The left hand to Open Source's
right hand, Open Data is an essential part of many programs. You may
think "Oh, but my program doesn't use any data". But what about fonts?
What about configuration files? What about any files your program reads
or writes?

OpenStreetMap is geodata, a collection of locations (intersections),
connections between them (roads), and connections between the connections
(bus routes). All of these can have arbitrary amounts of metadata stored
with them, like names, speed limits, purpose of the road, etc. All of
this is stored in a PostGres database and available through an API which
presents a simpler interface than raw SQL queries.

With all of this data in hand, you can make a map. But maps aren't new;
why is OpenStreetMap (OSM) new? OpenStreetMap is licensed under a
community reciprocal license, so that people who contribute to it are
confident that the people who distribute it will reciprocate under the
same license. Unlike public domain data like the Census's TIGER data,
OSM has a custodian who wants your contributions. Unlike proprietary
data like Google Maps, or its underlying geodata provided by Navteq
and/or TeleAtlas, OSM is freely copyable and open to all for editing.

About Russ Nelson:
Russ Nelson is an early Linux adopter; in fact an early adopter of all
sorts of technology, including the first non-Compaq iPAQ reflashed to
run Linux. He finally gave up on assembly language a few years ago and
now programs in C and most languages beginning with P. He almost got a
PhD from Clarkson University but managed to escape writing a
dissertation. He lives in Potsdam, NY with his wife and two
nearly-adult children, but was born in NYC and raised in Baldwin out in
Nassau County.

Meeting Location:
Please note that this meeting will be held at IBM, 590 Madison Ave,
12th floor, corner of 57th Street, and not at Google. This is
