Talk at State of the Map

I'm planning to do a talk/video on MapComplete on State of the Map 2021. This document outlines the structure of the talk and serves as my speaker notes.

Overview

  1. What is MapComplete? Three slides

  2. Already one year old! a. Where and how did it start? "This project isn't going anywhere" (buurtnatuur, cyclofix, Antwerpen, Natuurpunt, Oost-Vlaanderen?, Toerisme Vlaanderen?) b. Where are we now? Some cool statistics

  3. The vision a. Your granny can use it a. pragmatism - somewhat working today is better then something perfect tomorrow a. It's a trap! Cool thematic map (as iframe on website) -> the OSM rabbit hole -> easy start -> more features when mapping more -> oh, I can make a theme too! b. The pareto frontier of 'easy to use' vs 'number of features' c. The thematic approach (+ disabling/enabling features per theme/view)

  4. The future a. paid projects? Microgrant for a better theme creator? b. user contributed themes (see you next talk!)

  5. OpenStreetMap is Cool!
