OpenStreetMap is a web project aiming at creating a map of the entire world, accessible, free and downloadable for anyone.
It has been started in 2004 by a student from UK.

What is OpenStreetMap?www.osm.org
It is based on the joint action of thousands of contributors working voluntarily. Anyone can participate. +150,000 users created more than 2 billion nodes as of today.
The ongoing OSM contributions can be followed on http://live.openstreetmap.fr/
OSM focuses on all the visible, physical objects like: roads, buildings, land uses, facilities (health, education..) shops, industries, water and sanitation, natural spaces... but also not visible like administrative boundaries or transportation lines.
OSM does not store information about populations or sensitive data.

OSM governance
The ecosystem of the OSM community CitizensAssociationsLocal governments (ex: BNPB, the National Disaster Management Agency in Indonesia)NGOsInternational Organizations (UN, WB, USAID, AUSAid)AcademiaPrivate actors:• Microsoft, Foursquare• Cloudmade, Geofabrik, Camptocamp, MapBox The growth of the OSM project is fostered by• OpenStreetMap Foundation & local Chapters• Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team for Humanitarian/Development contexts

La cartographie Collaborative
Idea (same as Wikipedia): A large number of individuals contributing together will tend to create high quality data.
Free mapping and quality
● Validation tools within editor
Different kind of practises and tools strengthen this:
● Quality control tools over an area
● Easy access to each step of the history of every object
● Easy access to all the contributions of every mapper
● Possibility to revert any bad contribution

Java Based OpenStreetMap Editorhttp://josm.openstreetmap.de/
Can be easily enhanced, many plugins, works well with sporadic connectivity
Humanitarian benefit: Baseline data from the crowdin crisis contexts

OpenStreetMap and humanitarian data: since the Haiti Earthquake in 2010
Port-au-Prince on OSM, January 12, 2010
Port-au-Prince on OSM,28 days later
Within a few days, the response of the OSM community to map the affected areas has been intensive, as seen in this video.

Contributing to OSM: 3 Importing existing open data

A documented, reviewed processhttp://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import
An official agreement signed by the owner
A documented import process monitored by a skilled Import Working Group
Humanitarian benefits: no loss over the time, easy access,living updatable data, avoids duplicates
