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.

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.
