Baby steps First you get people using OSM as background maps(instead of
google), then maybe people will start to see that you can do a lot more
with OSM data than just a background map.

On the one hand, I find the use of OSM as a background map a slightly
boring use-case. I'd like to see gov use actual data.
On the other hand, it can actually be controversial within organisations.
Because people will complain to the local government if they notice
mistakes in the background map.
Nice one James.
Thanks John

The city of Ottawa already uses OSM in their opendata portal:
http://data.ottawa.ca/dataset/sledding-hills
http://data.ottawa.ca/dataset/neighbourhood-names
http://data.ottawa.ca/dataset/airport-runways
etc etc
But I doubt they know/care as their portal was built by a consultant and
not them.

Hi John,
The page Clifford shared is of course an excellent resource (I started the
article :)
But your remarks are not very government-specific, so you probably won't
find an answer there.

This is a new wiki page,
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OpenStreetMap_for_Government, for
governments that use OSM. Please feel free to update the page to include
Ottawa Hydro.
Best,
Clifford

Do we have a wiki entry on this subject?
It has come up a couple of times. Locally this morning talking to the guy
who supplies us with Ottawa bus stops under an approved open data licence.
It only took five years from start to finish to get it approved on both
sides. It has also come up in
7 matches
