Among the most famous projects of volunteered geographic information there is OpenStreetMap, which provides information and data about city and territory, mapped directly by the people who live those cities and territories. We will try to understand who are the people joining the OpenStreetMap community and how the composition of such community can bias the information mapped. Furthermore, we will discuss the growing importance of the OSM project, questioning pros and cons of such popularity.
