State of the Map 2021/registration lightning talks
SotM 2021 Lightning Talks
Do you want to hold a lightning talk during SotM 2021?
Please add a line to the table below and prepare a short video with your lightning talk. It should be maximum 5 minutes long and be about a topic related to OpenStreetMap. We recommend to read the how-to that we prepared for regular SotM talks. Once you recorded the video, you can upload it to our upload folder on the OSMF Nextcloud instance. Please name the file after the speaker name and talk title you added in the below table (format: <your name>_<title of your lightning talk>), this makes it easier for us to match them.
The deadline for lightning talks (both registration and video upload) was 2 July 2021 23:59:59 UTC.
If we have questions concerning your lightning talk, we would use your OSM username to contact you.
We have provisionally scheduled the talks in one of the lightning talk slots of the SotM schedule, but please check this wiki page and the schedule in the SotM website before or during the conference again to know when your lightning talk will take place - we will try to keep the wiki page and the schedule in sync. We expect that you will be available during the conference to chat with SotM participants about your subject. If you like to have extended discussions with attendees about your subject, you're welcome to schedule a self-organized session - if you do so, please consider indicating this in your talk description and maybe also announce it in the chat inside the conference platform while your lighting talks is broadcasted.

| Davey Lovin | mDav | Building a Free Worldwide Long Distance Hiking Trail Map Together With OpenStreetMap | Dozens if not hundreds of users worldwide have contributed a wealth of long-distance hiking trail information to OpenStreetMap. However, this data is difficult to extract in a meaningful and useful way and its quality varies greatly. This talk introduces superroute: an interactive webmap and quality assurance tool for OSM long distance hiking trails, with the goal of coalescing a community of passionate data-nerdy hikers to maintain and improve the data quality of these trails for the benefit of all. | Davey_Lovin_Superroute |
| OSM Philippines / Feye Andal | feyeandal | OpenStreetMap in the Philippines 2021 | Last September 2020, the OSM-Philippines community released the Call to Correct Narratives about Geospatial Work [in the Philippines]. We’re provided with an opportunity to share our own narratives and showcase the local community’s initiatives through a documentary-video produced by Amazon Web Services – Philippines.
We would like to share OUR story with the whole OSM community. |

| Helga Tauscher | Let's meet at an island. OpenStreetMap as a source for spatial chat tool worlds | This talk shows how worlds for adhoc video-conferencing systems or spatial chat tools, for example WorkAdventure can be populated from geospatial or other real-world data on an automated basis. The island scenario is the first of three scenarios to be investigated, with the other two being scenarios on the building and city district level. | 4:55
| |
| Iván Sánchez Ortega | ivansanchez | Experiments in P2P tiles | An exploration on how a seemingly obscure web standard (WebRTC) can be exploited to provide P2P transmission of rendered map tiles and theoretically lower the load on the OSMF's tileservers. | In 4 minutes 22 seconds.

| Pavel Zbytovský | zby-cz | Project OsmAPP.org | For a long time, I missed the single application for using OpenStreetMap. In this talk I would like to present the universal OpenStreetMap app, OsmAPP for short. After a few years of development, it already offers fast vector maps, clickable POIs, search and even basic editing capabilities. Let's hear the story of this project and discuss the future. - Link: osmapp.org - Slides: github.com/zbycz/osmapp-talk |

Missing video
We had not received a video for the following talks at the time of this writing. You can still upload a video and we will try to incorporate it into the schedule and the conference, but there's no guarantee that we will get around to do so - the earlier we get the video, the more likely it is though.

| Michal Migurski | Daylight Map Distribution is Fresh & Clean OSM Data | Daylight Map Distribution makes using OSM data an easy choice. If you’re looking for OSM base map data that’s checked and filtered for accidental errors and intentional vandalism, Daylight is here to help with a global dataset. | won't be able to submit | |
| Georgy, Grigory | Open Urban Mapping | Based in Russia, we've picked its territory as our testing ground. By now we've automatically extracted 50+ mln building features using AI model over different satellite imagery sources. We've also extracted 30+ mln using Mapblox Satellite to contribute to Openstreetmap. We analyse what the potential is for application our AI to other countries urban structures. How's the project is going in the information word that is occupied by Microsoft and Facebook. |
Non-English Lightning Talks
As some sort of an experiment, we also accept lightning talks in other languages (aside from English) if you can provide English subtitles for them. If you'd like to give this a try, please still add an English entry in the above table and indicate the language in the Notes column. When you upload your lightning talk video, also upload the English subtitles (in a separate file, don't render them onto the video, we will take care of that). Please make sure that the subtitles are displayed when playing your video with VLC.
If you haven't created subtitles before, we recommend Subtitle Composer for desktop solution or Amara for web-based solution (this seems to require you to upload the video to some 3rd party service like YouTube though, but might also make it easier for others to help you create or translate subtitles of your video).
