6. ● The World Requires a(many) Open
Geocoder(s)
● OSM is not great for geocoding
● The Geocoder use case has changed
○ Reverse geocoding now arguably
more important
● Open addresses, open polys are
critical for our future

20. "When you and I interact, our ability to be together on
Earth is predicated by all the stuff that people did for
thousands of years. You and I didn't invent language.
You and I didn't invent clothes, roads, agriculture. It's
up to us to be not just the receivers of what was given
to us, but the givers of whatever's going to come next."
