DESCRIPTION:Maps have been essential in the development and the success of 
 OpenStreetMap.  They were and still are the single most important medium o
 f communication across language and culture gaps between members of the OS
 M community.\n\nMaps in that role however - as a shared visualization of t
 he work of the mappers\, providing an identical picture to everyone viewin
 g them\, and this way facilitating communication - seem to be on the way o
 ut\, at least as far as OpenStreetMap is concerned.  It is not unlikely th
 at in a few years\, for better or worse\, the only forms of visualization 
 of OSM data most community members will know and use on a daily basis are 
 individualized depictions in the user interfaces of digital tools.\n\nThis
  talk is going to discuss this development and the social role of maps in 
 OpenStreetMap in its historical context and explain how the OSM community 
 is essentially unprepared for this foreseeable loss of a central means of 
 communication among its contributors.
