From its humble beginnings, OpenStreetMap has become a global resource. This talk takes a look at the ongoing development of OpenStreetMap-NG, an independent project focused on exploring the possibilities of modernizing the platform's infrastructure. I'll explain why these changes are being considered, explore the exciting possibilities they could unlock, and demonstrate how they might ultimately benefit users of the world's free map. This initiative is not affiliated with the OpenStreetMap Foundation.
