After Steve Coast last week, we are very pleased to confirm the second keynote speaker for the European OpenStreetMap conference (SotM-Europe) in Vienna: Muki Haklay, researcher at UCL London. Muki is no stranger to the OSM community: If you attended former SotM-conferences you probably know him and his exciting research on OSM data quality as well as the characteristics of mappers.

This year we would like to establish a special focus on research with a relation to OpenStreetMap. Muki will make the perfect connection between the OSM community and the research world with his talk "Observing from afar or joining the action: OSM and GIScience research". We are looking forward to his keynote!
