Wednesday November 20, 2024 2:00pm - 2:30pm PST
In this session led by Marc Prioleau, Executive Director of Overture Maps Foundation, we explore the often-misunderstood distinction between open map data and open source code. While open source code underpins many software projects within the Linux Foundation, open map data, especially in the context of Overture Maps Foundation's work presents unique challenges and opportunities. This talk will: - Clarify the differences and overlaps between open data and open source code. - Discuss the specific challenges in creating and maintaining open map data in the case of Overture Maps - Highlight how open data contributes uniquely to technological advancements, distinct from open source software. - Address common misconceptions in the open source community regarding these two domains.
