  • I think I may be asking a question with an obvious answer, but do you believe in OSM as a project? What do you think its long term goal should be or even is? Like, what is the endgame? Completely replace something like Google Maps? Having everyone use it as the main platform for looking at a map?

    I sometimes wonder if OSS projects should have aims that ambitious. I can’t imagine a world in which people would all be using open and free standards, and I think it’s because I’ve become so accustomed to the commercial aspect of developing software as things currently stand. What I think I might be asking for is actually your overview and opinion on OSM as a project and what we could expect of it, going forward.
