OpenStreetMap enables people to use third-party apps that seem to be more suitable for privacy-conscientious users, but are we as users really private when using OSM-based apps?

In mobile applications users generally don’t have control over what gets transmitted over the network. This means that people even in the age of the GDPR are not aware what they expose about themselves when using Android or iOS apps. This talks goes through a few popular open and closed source OSM apps and shows what gets transmitted about you and to whom. Additionally, it shows whether removing ads through in-app purchase gives users of those apps more privacy. Furthermore it will be demonstrated which tracking services are most often used and which risks of de-anonymization could arise from this. Also a brief discussion whether and how software developers can make their software more privacy-friendly will take place. Are users aware which data gets sent to third parties and are they consenting? Do they have a choice? And is this tracking generally bad or can it improve user experience in return? Are there apps which are suitable for people who want to stay private? Is it possible to prevent tracking and how? This talk is going to compare several OSM apps in regards to their privacy levels, but also show how closed data, commercial competitors are performing.

This session provides an entertaining yet informative introduction into everything you need to know about OpenStreetMap.

If you're new to OpenStreetMap, or maybe just know a little, then this session will fill you in on everything you need to know about OpenStreetMap. How did it start? How does it work? How can you contribute, and how can you use the data? What is this "Mapnik" think I keep hearing about and why do people always look at me funny when I say the license should be changed? OpenStreetMap is not just a database or a web site; it is a living and breathing project with a huge community and a 15-year history. Rather than just showing a sequence of slides, this session will be a tour de force presented by many different individuals, where entertaining dialogue is interspersed with hands-on short demonstrations and explanations. Attendees will leave this session with a good idea of how OSM works, of how they can contribute to OSM, and of how to use its wealth of data for making their own maps or just counting post boxes in their home town. But they will also see that OSM is very much about human beings. They will learn how to become part of the community of map makers, code writers, and general activists that make OSM into the great success it is today.

Vektortiles verdrängen an vielen Stellen Bitmaps, aber wie werden sie gemacht? Wieso setzt sich das MVT Format durch und was kann es? Und wurde WMS neu erfunden?

Trotz allem angebrachten Skeptizismus gegenüber Vektortiles werden diese immer breiter eingesetzt. Dennoch sind die Interna der Dateiformate wenig bekannt, deshalb soll hier etwas Licht ins Dunkle gebracht werden: Welche Datenformate gibt es? Welches eignet sich am besten? Was kann man damit abbilden und wo sind die Grenzen? Wie sieht die interne Datenstruktur aus und warum?

Seit nun über 10 Jahren gibt es OpenStreetMap. Besonders in den letzten drei Jahren war die Entwicklung überwältigend, sowohl was die Datenlage als auch das gesamte Ökosystem anbelangt. Wir wollen zeigen, was möglich ist und was in der Zukunft (hoffentlich) passieren wird.
