I know the Dept of Ag is undergoing a huge aerial photography program in most US states. The photos will be under the public domain. I have the set for the state of Georgia that was offered to OSM. Would this be of interest? It is the exact same data that Google added last month to their aerial imagery for the State.

Today's Topics: 1. Anyone for OpenAerialMap? (Schuyler Erle) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Message: 1 Date: Wed, 04 Nov 2009 07:35:25 -0500 From: Schuyler Erle <[email protected]> Subject: [Geowanking] Anyone for OpenAerialMap? To: [email protected] Message-ID: <1257338126.18933.86.ca...@goldman> Content-Type: text/plain For those of you not familiar with OpenAerialMap, the basic idea behind it is simply to do for aerial and sat imagery what OpenStreetMap does for vector data. The technical challenges are immense, and it hasn't become clear until recently that anyone actually needed such a thing. Christopher Schmidt carried this particular torch for a while, bless his heart, up to about this time last year, when his efforts waned on account of a seeming lack of interest and participation from a wider community. However, in recent months, the growing emphasis on up-to-date mapping in the humanitarian crisis / disaster relief sphere has started to raise the tide once again on the OAM idea. There's been a good thread discussing the possibilities on the otherwise quiescent mailing list: http://openaerialmap.org/pipermail/talk_openaerialmap.org/2009-November/thre ad.html There's a page on the wiki on "Rebooting OpenAerialMap": http://wiki.openaerialmap.org/OAM_2009 Finally, I'd just like to throw into the mix a detailed proposal for a technical roadmap, just to whet your appetite and spark some hopefully serious debate: http://wiki.openaerialmap.org/Technical_Proposal If you're interested, please join the OAM talk mailing list and let's continue the discussion there: http://openaerialmap.org/mailman/listinfo/talk_openaerialmap.org Thanks!
