The short video, Motorville by Patrick Jean uses OpenStreetMap data in static and animated form while weaving an interesting story.
Congratulations on the nice film, Patrick.

The OpenStreetMap Professional Large Users Summit is going to be held just after SOTM US, on June 10th in San Francisco at the Marriott Union Square. You can register here. Be quick, space is limited.
OSM PLUS is new and focused on professional users of OSM data and toolchains commercially, academically, in government and elsewhere. It is a paid-for event and we expect it to be more of a conversation than a traditional presentation. Many professional users have similar concerns and expectations for OSM. We want to explore these in an environment focused on coming up with solutions.
Today, OSM is a volunteer-only organization. This focus doesn’t always satisfy the needs of many users. We want to have an open conversation about ways to make OSM better. Because of that, the program will be influenced by those who attend.
PS you can use the code “GPS” to get 20% off the ticket price if you register soon.

I often get requests about the growth and competitiveness of OpenStreetMap in regards to commercial maps. While OpenStreetMap excels especially when it comes to details, people want to see figures that are more comparable to the commercial maps – mainly navigatable road networks.
I came across some internal evaluations of the recent planet files and thought I just share those figures figures with. These statistics are Europe related and show the values separated for Western and Eastern Europe.
In general we can report a healthy growth over the last 9 months – despite the license change that caused some loss of data.
The drivable road network continues to grow in Western and Eastern Europe. While some countries like Germany have more or less reached 100% coverage of the driveable road network, others still have potential. In Eastern Europe I want to stress the growth of Turkey by 39% and Russia by 19%. In Western Europe we see Spain growing by 18% and France by 19%.
Turn restrictions show a strong growth – Eastern and Western Europe alike. Saturation has not been reached in any country –even Germany has grown by 34%.
The overall growth of road segments shows an uptake after the license change had been completed.
Overall we see stronger growth in Eastern Europe, which means the gap between Eastern and Western Europe is narrowing.
This is showing just an extract of available data but allows extrapolation with a good confidence level. If you have questions don’t hesitate to contact me.
As last year, Ryerson University is providing a dry roof overhead, lots of space, and rock solid wifi for the software development portion of event.
There will also be a public event, possibly an expert panel, Friday afternoon at Ryerson. Details to follow.
Also as last year, there will be a ton of socializing and meeting and greeting with the local OSM community Friday night and Saturday night.
And there are sponsorship opportunities! Want to sponsor a core developer who could otherwise not participate? Want to buy the coders dinner and a few drinks? Let me know.
