This document discusses OpenStreetMap (OSM), a collaborative project to create a free editable map of the world. It envisions having one map that is up-to-date, complete, and available everywhere for anyone to use under an open license. Small edits from many contributors help keep the map accurate. OSM data is used in various applications and renders, and has proven useful during crises and for less developed areas not fully represented in other maps. The document promotes OSM's mission of collaborative mapping and sharing map information freely.

8. "But the plans were on display ..."
"Yes," said Arthur, "yes I did. It was on display in the bottom of a
locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the
door saying 'Beware of the Leopard'."
-- Douglas Adams, "The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxyi"
