Panelists Justin Dorfman | Richard Littauer Guest Maggie Cawley OpenStreetMap US Alyssa Wright OpenStreetMap US | Open Source Collective Show Notes In this episode Justin and Richard talk with Maggie Cawley, Executive Director of the American OpenStreetMap US and Alyssa Wright, current Board Member of OpenStreetMap US. If you’ve never heard of OpenStreetMap US you will learn all about what it is, how you can use it, how you can edit it (YES, it’s editable like Wikipedia), and how it differs from Google Maps. 1:40** What is OpenStreetMap and OpenStreetMap US? How are they different? The ladies also share how many people are all together in the OpenStreetMap world in their biosphere and how many contributing editors there are.  04:41 Justin wonders how the map data is licensed and was it a hard sell to the community or an easy one? 08:24 OSMF and OSM US are slighty different. Richard is interested to know what Maggie and Alyssa are doing for each one and how do they see them growing. 10:43 Richard wants to know the Code of Conduct and was questioning if it was just started or did it change.  12:40 Justin wants to know what percentage Craig, from Craigslist, give to their annual budget. Also, regarding sustainability, the discussion of what it costs to run OpenStreetMap as a service is answered.  13:34 Maggie talks about who is involved in their membership which is made of many different people.  17:00 Richard wonders if anything is difficult now and what does sustainability look like and if there are any problems. The ladies talk about all the challenges there have been.   23:09 Why would people use OSM vs. Google Maps? Empowerment is a big factor with OSM. 27:18 Justin wonders how Maggie and Alyssa deal with possible misinformation from bad edits, especially with the earthquakes or tornados or if there have been any issues.  32:04 The ladies answer some questions from Richard regarding what sustainability means for OSM and how do you make sure everyone is working on the same product, doing it with the same intention, but with the same sort of guidance.  Quotes 05:43 “ODbL, it’s a unique license.” 15:15 “I always point to my phone, it’s like, you know, this is essentially a map that we’re carrying around with us constantly and whether we’re talking about data privacy in our location, movement, or crime statistics or this Coronavirus, this is grounded in space, and we’re grounded in space.” 21:08 “Billions of people in this world do not have an address. So, without an address that means you don’t have a legal right to your land.” 23:17 “It’s very well known that Google is going to map where they have commercial interest.” Spotlight   34:07 Justin’s spotlight this week is Dracula PRO-Episode 27.  34:40 Richard’s spotlight is Leaflet JS.  34:57 Maggie’s spotlight is QGIS project.  35:17 Alyssa’s spotlight is PostGIS community.

Episode 28: What "OpenStreetMap US" is with Maggie Cawley & Alyssa Wright

Alyssa Wright is an artist, activist and capacity building expert. An accomplished facilitator and consultant, Alyssa works with organizations from East Africa to New England, all focused on powerfully creating social change, especially for women &amp; children. A Co-Founder of the Massachusetts-based Recovery Theatre and a passionate advocate for the arts, Alyssa believes that when we place dignity and love at the forefront of our change-making efforts, there is nothing that we cannot accomplish together on this Earth. Playing Small Moment Because she didn’t feel that she had anything intellectual, philosophical or academic to say, Alyssa felt that her story wouldn’t necessarily help others and didn’t see the importance in sharing it. Alyssa had assumed that everyone experienced the same parental struggles that she had in her youth and that her story was just too common. Ultimately, she underestimated the significance of how she came to be who she was as a person. The Wake Up Call In July 2015, Alyssa had the opportunity to work with women and girls in East Africa with Heshima Kenya, a refugee organization. On her flight to Africa, Alyssa was filled with doubts and felt undeserving of the amazing opportunities that awaited her until she received an encouraging text from a caring friend. Once Alyssa arrived at the safe house, she was greeted by all of the girls, holding their beautiful children. The group took turns sharing their talents and when Alyssa was asked to share hers, she realized that her artistry made her feel more herself than she ever had. Alyssa was inspired and knew how she could make a difference. Style of Leadership Alyssa sees her leadership style as more of a mentorship that becomes kinship that becomes a legacy of doing the right thing. When Alyssa started in the world of philanthropy, she asked a more experienced peer how she stayed motivated when it didn’t seem they were moving the needle at all. The woman replied that they were in fact moving the needle, and to pay attention to the young people that were showing up. Those young people are what keep the movement going. With Alyssa’s leadership, it’s more than just inspiring a young person to work with her, it is making an investment in that person as a whole and making sure they are enjoying the progress, not just the goal. What Are You Excited About? Since last summer, Alyssa has been working with Tree Sisters, which has been an inspiring leadership journey for her. One of the projects they are working on that Alyssa is really excited to be a part of is a global philanthropic strategy that unearths feminine leadership within different communities while also repairing the nature around us. Current Business Challenge After working for Raising Change for seven years, Alyssa became partner and just recently received a certificate to further her leadership in her field. After building a new consulting business, Alyssa is challenged by finding her own identity and voice in an that same industry as a leader and not just an employee. Inspirational Quote “The time is is always right to do what is right.” Martin Luther King, Jr. Links Website: www.alyssafwright.com  Twitter: @WrightAlyssa1 Tree Sisters Website: Treesisters.org Mogul: https://onmogul.com/alyssa-wright-95   If you enjoyed this episode, subscribe in  iTunes or  Stitcher Radio and never miss out on #inspiration and community!
