OpenStreetMap is an "open data" mapping project based on data 
contributed by volunteer editors all over the world. It can be used as a 
free alternative to software like Google Maps, and the data sets are 
available to download and experiment with. Keith will show examples of 
working with this data using a PostgreSQL database and the PostGIS 
extension for geographic data processing. He will demonstrate 
visualizations of map and spatial data both on the desktop and in a web 
browser.
