neo-geo-politics the impact and issues of open source and open data on political crisis, borders, disputes, and marginal places Mikel Maron Software Freedom Kosovo 2010 [email_address] @mikel

through the lens of MAPS! a political/military tool now accessible to anyone by open source open data open standards

“ The World” is the Nation State? the world disagrees...

Schengen Borders are shades of gray

But Disputes are everywhere

and Language is a Hunde (or a cani)

even the capital of Europe is divided Baarle-Nassau/Baarle-Hertog Belgium, Netherlands exclaves

California/Nevada Border is more guarded than Austria/Slovenia (do you have any fruits or veg?)

California's Southern Border is Militarized for economic reasons

Californian Successionism State of Jefferson

Iraq/Iran Border depends on the tides!

Bosnia and Herzegovina the basis of historic nationhood?

Bosnia and Herzegovina why is this not the atecedent?

India/Pakistan/China “does not purport”

Ask the UN? does not endorse or accept

Accept corporate authority? Google's truth

Open Source Data Culture Principles

OpenStreetMap a free and open map of the entire world anyone can use anyone can edit

It's a wiki no one “moderates” history is available everyone is responsible

a collobration between students, kids, government agencies, anarchists, golfers, historians, ...

community

Localization and renderings

Time Navigation & New Cartography Serejevo Seige

Databased Negotiations Argue about the Code/Data where everyone can see multiple subjective realities co-exist in the same system

Open has issues with Disputes Northern Cyprus

Open has issues with Risk Burmese Refugee Routes

And sometimes the risk is Unfounded 2009 Gaza-Israel Conflict

Open also can have issues with Accuracy Palestine before Israel

But no doubt open is bad ass

What is open in authoritarian regimes PB in Cuba

Or if local laws contradict our principles state secrets act and military installations in Russia

Or if the place doesn't officially exist Map Kibera

these guys exist

Kibera is mapped

* Kosovo *
