<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">On August 9, 2004, Steve Coast, then a physics student at University College London, took the first step towards revolutionizing the world of mapping by registering the openstreetmap.org domain. Coast envisioned a free, editable map of the world that would democratize access to geospatial data, making it available for everyone from hobbyists to professionals.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">OpenStreetMap ushered in a new era in cartography, one where community collaboration and open data would challenge traditional, closed-off mapping systems.

<p>On December 11, 2004, Steve Coast announced that the first street had been entered into OpenStreetMap.</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">From the beginning, everything that happened on OpenStreetMap was documented and discussed on public wikis and listservs. <a href="https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk/2004-December/000158.html">In this post on the main OSM list</a>, which is active to this day, Coast describes a major milestone–the first street successfully added to OSM–and sketches a few next steps:</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><em>Hi all,</em></p>
<p><em>A fair amount of work has gone in to the backend and the applet to allow logging in, the deletion of points and the ability to load and add streets. <span style="font-weight: 400;">The first street was entered today (well yesterday really) and the associated gps tracks </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">behind deleted (well, versioned in to history). You can see it by taking a look at openstreetmap.org.</span></em></p>
<p> </p>

<span><i class="fa fa-calendar"></i>2006</span> <div class="exp-lightbox-meta"></div>
<div class="extl-lb-content"><p>Potlatch 1, originally an Adobe Flash-based map editor, was designed by Richard Fairhurst and released mid 2006. The name <i>Potlatch</i> came from the name of the newsletter of the <a class="mw-redirect" title="Lettrist International" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lettrist_International">Letterist International</a> art collective. For many years it was embedded in OSM.org and was influential in the early success of the map because it was so easy to use. Although it is no longer the default editor, it was updated in 2020 with help from a grant from the OSM Foundation and is still in use today.</p>
<p> </p>
<p><a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Potlatch">from the wiki</a>:</p>
<p><em>Potlatch’s distinguishing characteristic is that it’s extraordinarily ergonomic for moderately familiar users, without ever having too complex an interface. With a handful of keyboard shortcuts you can zip about the map and perform common editing actions efficiently: for example, you can skip 10 nodes back/forward along a way with one keypress, jump to the other end of the way with another, then assign a set of multiple tags to the way (which you’ve previously recorded) with another single keypress. <sup id="cite_ref-microgrant-proposal_2-0" class="reference"></sup>As yet, Potlatch does not run reliably on Linux systems due to Adobe AIR for Linux being discontinued.</em></p>

<div class="extl-lb-content"><p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The genius of OpenStreetMap lies in the simplicity of its model, making it easy for anyone to grasp how it works, and the versatility of its tagging system, which has near-infinite capacity to describe the physical world. </span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The conceptual data model is based on three types of </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">elements:</span></i> <a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Node"><b>nodes</b></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> (defining points in space); </span><a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Way"><b>ways</b></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> (defining linear features and </span><a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Area"><span style="font-weight: 400;">area</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> boundaries), and </span><a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Relation"><b>relations</b></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> (defining how other elements work together). These elements derive their meaning from tags which are comprised of a </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">key</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;"> and a </span><i><span style="font-weight: 400;">value. </span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">The key describes a topic, category, or type of feature (e.g., </span><a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Key:highway"><span style="font-weight: 400;">highway</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> or </span><a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Names"><span style="font-weight: 400;">name</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">). The value provides detail for the key-specified feature. Commonly, values are free form text (e.g., name=”Green Arbor Memorial Highway”) (</span><a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tags"><span style="font-weight: 400;">source</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">).</span></p>

</span></i><i><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br />
</span></i><span style="font-weight: 400;">Early on, developers had to work out a way to protect the necessarily unrestricted nature of the keys and values, while also describing a core set of map features. You can still see the </span><a href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/w/index.php?title=Map_Features&oldid=3832"><span style="font-weight: 400;">wiki where the documentation for this base map was collectively created</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. </span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As of February 2024, OpenStreetMap </span><a href="https://taginfo.openstreetmap.org/reports/database_statistics"><span style="font-weight: 400;">contained</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> over 96 thousand distinct keys and over 155 million distinct tags.</span></p>

<p><em><span style="font-weight: 400;">Discussion in person and on the list seemed to stall at the ‘what is a member’ stage. In person talking to a number of people (Ben deserves credit) a way out emerged that I didn’t get any major disagreement with:</p>
<p></span><span style="font-weight: 400;">For the initial vote as defined in the IRC discussion everyone on this mailing list (as of when this email goes out) or an OSM user is _eligible_ to become a member and can therefore vote. To become a member you need to PayPal me 5 pounds or write me a hand-written snail mail letter.</p>
<p></span><span style="font-weight: 400;">There are no second-class members, both methods afford the same privilege. Parallel to this, people wishing to fulfill positions can be nominated or self-nominate. The initial group of people voted in will then decide on things as per the IRC discussion.</p>
<p></span><span style="font-weight: 400;">The first vote will be held in three weeks time, the 11th June using the Single Transferrable Vote.</span></em></p>
