Hello imports team,

My name is Justus from Spatial Collective. For the past two years, we have been working with the Commission for Lands and the State University of Zanzibar to digitize all of the buildings on the Zanzibar Archipelago. We used the 7cm drone imagery provided to us by our partners.  We have been able to create the first official comprehensive building dataset (+350,000 buildings) of Unguja Island that is currently being utilized by the government for various initiatives, including securing tenure. During this time, we have had very long discussions with the Government regarding opening the data to OSM. We are happy to say that after two years, the Commission for Lands approved the opening of the data (building shapes) in OSM.  

Therefore, I am writing to you to share our intent to upload all the digitized buildings to OSM. So far, we have been able to achieve the following:-
  1. We have created and shared our import plan through the Zanzibar building import page. 
  2. We are in the process of obtaining the final permissions from the Commision of Lands who are the official data owners. This includes official import approval and licencing permission for ODbL compatibility.
As contributors, I want to share with you a sample of our buildings dataset (in osm ready format) and links to the drone imagery (available on OpenAerialMap). Feedback on the quality of the dataset is highly appreciated. Additionally any advice on dealing with such a large undertaking is welcome.

Link to the corresponding imagery on OpenAerialMap:

Hi Justus, only 2 speedy things:
- first I think that the source tag better should go only on changeset of import and not on any single object
- the buildings multipoligons are not correct: the building tag must go on multipoligon and not on building outer poligon

BR,
Damjan G.
