Ask the OSMF Board Almost Anything About our Agenda, Actions And Activities

This is a chance to ask the OSM Foundation Board questions, to engage with the board. Let's have a conversation about the Foundation, the Board and how all the parts work together. If you know nothing about what the board is doing, this is a chance to find out. Find out what the Foundation does and doesn't do, what it can and can't do. Find out how you can help, how you can get involved. The Board is committed to openness and wants to engage with the community. We will take questions from the audience, or other questions that people can submit before the event, and we will talk about and answer them. We did a successful AMA (Ask Me Anything) on reddit within the last year which garnered 400+ comments, another source for questions & answers. We can talk about the past actions of the board, and what future plans we have. Are you curious about running for the OSMF Board? This is a chance to find out what is actually involved, to find out what sort of work is done, and whether you would like to get involved. Do you have an idea for something the board could, or shoud do? Here is a chance to suggest it, and talk about it.

The open-source 3D renderer OSM2World turns OpenStreetMap data into detailed 3D models of the world around us.

The mission of OSM2World is to build a realistic 3D representation of the physical world using open data and open-source software. This is made possible by two trends: The increasing level of detail captured by the OpenStreetMap database, and the growing availability of open technologies for high-quality 3D rendering. Creating 3D models from OpenStreetMap wouldn't be possible without the impressive effort of the mapper community. One of the goals of OSM2World is comprehensive support for the rich landscape of tagging, such as Simple 3D Buildings and Simple Indoor Tagging. Besides the outside and inside of buildings, the rendering displays lane mapping for roads as well as a large number of other OSM features – likely more than any other open-source 3D renderer. In addition to the ongoing work to support a larger share of the OSM data model, OSM2World is being updated to make good use of modern technologies, including physically based rendering (PBR), the glTF format, and WebGL. These make it easier than ever to export visually appealing 3D models for use in many modelling tools or engines, and to display them on the web. This talk introduces the capabilities of OSM2World, with a particular focus on features which were added recently. As such, the session is intended to be suitable for visitors learning about OSM2World for the first time as well as those interested in staying up-to-date about new developments.

OSM2World is an open-source renderer capable of creating rich 3D worlds from OpenStreetMap data. It is now available as a web application powered by WebGL.

OpenStreetMap contains a wealth of data that can be used to build a 3D representation of our world. Some of it, such as buildings mapped using the [Simple 3D Buildings](https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Simple_3D_Buildings) tagging convention, is intended primarily for 3D use cases. Other feature classes, such as roads and railways, urban infrastructure, or landuse information, aren't usually mapped with 3D in mind, but are nevertheless essential ingredients of a 3D world. In either case, unlocking the full potential of OSM data and converting it into a representation that's suitable for typical use cases in the domain of 3D rendering requires specialized software tools. [OSM2World](http://osm2world.org/) is one of these tools. Fully open source, it can be used to export 3D data for modelling software, animations, and games, as a library in other programs, and as an interactive map on the web. Until recently, however, the lack of a powerful 3d rendering solution for the web put constraints on the features available without a local installation of the software. Today, the WebGL standard allows real-time 3D rendering in all major browsers. A new web frontend for OSM2World builds on these capabilities to allow users to explore the world in 3D, based entirely on open data. This talk demonstrates the abilities of OSM2World and its new web frontend, showcases some impressive 3D mapping around the world, and briefly explores how the software works behind the scenes.

OSM2World ermöglicht die Erzeugung von 3D-Modellen aus OpenStreetMap-Daten. Dank moderner Webtechnologien ist es jetzt auch komfortabel im Browser nutzbar.

Die freie 3D-Rendering-Software OSM2World setzt auf OpenStreetMap-Daten, um eine realitätsnahe 3D-Darstellung der Welt zu erschaffen. Schon seit 2012‎ existiert auch ein webbasiertes Frontend, mit dem Nutzer einen Blick auf die 3D-Welt werfen können, ohne die Rendering-Software selbst installieren und einrichten zu müssen. Die zugrundeliegende Technologie ist allerdings in die Jahre gekommen. Fokus des Vortrags sind die Arbeiten an einem Nachfolger für das OSM2World-Frontend, der die bisher bestehenden Einschränkungen löst.
