OpenStreetMap contributor, emacsen, just announced a new series of OSM videos.

In honor of OSM's birthday, I present to the OSM community a new series of videos on OpenStreetMap.

They're a set of Khan Academy style videos. That is they're each short 5-15 minute videos on a particular topic of OpenStreetMap. Right now there's about two hours of video, covering the basic concepts: all the way from nodes and tags, to routing, changesets and rendering.
