Why It Matters

GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.

State of the Map is the main gathering point for OpenStreetMap's global community, shaping collaboration and technical direction for the open-data mapping project that underpins many commercial and civic mapping tools. A hybrid format keeps the event accessible to contributors worldwide who can't travel to Paris.
