I was one of the contributors to the programme and I actually said a lot more about OSM - but they chose to cut because of time constraints. Gave description of the ways OSMers map, and used examples from Haiti earthquake mapping (mapping in emergencies) and Kibera (maps as empowering tools) etc My original brief was to talk about 'neocartography', so OSM was just one aspect of it. But nevertheless an interesting programme and always good to get the cartography message out there.
