I found it hard trying to pitch it to an unknown audience, especially with no visuals and trying to remember that they aren't all geeks or IT people. As for the listeners - I don't know how many people listen to it. It's only broadcast over a tiny area of London, but I think there are vastly more people listening to the podcasts. Certainly, the traffic to my website doubled yesterday and I've had a few people from way outside of London contacting me about it today via email. Lucky that you speak an language that almost everyone can understand. I did a short radio talk last week about OSM in a language which only about 400k people speak... Got an enthousiastic response (friends of my parents calling to say they heard it), but not many new volunteers afaik. I think a big thing for 2008 is getting beyond the point where most people in the OSM circles are volunteers for the project. In London for instance we'd only need another five or six people interested in cycle-mapping-based contributions and OSM will be completely useful for tens of thousands of people. So I'm starting to lean towards things like this radio interview being publicity for OSM *users* rather than specifically seeking more contributors.

Great, Andy! BTW, if you managed to create contours for the UK, could you send me a link? I'd like to try overlaying them on top of relief.

Thanks Steve. I've added it to the wiki too. On Feb 5, 2008 1:37 PM, Steve Chilton [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Andy Excellent, and the points very well put over by yourself.

Re: [OSM-talk] OSM cycle map radio interview
Will do. Planning on doing a tileset of contours on a transparent background which I think will be what you are wanting. Having problems with srtm2shp still though, but I got a proof of concept sorted earlier today so I know it works.

Re: [OSM-talk] OSM cycle map radio interview + other recent radio coverage + thoughts on non-English speaking audience
hi, a) As we are getting into some radio clippings review: on the occasion of the mapping party in Arezzo, in addition to the extensive local coverage already mentioned by Edoardo, we also had some 8 minutes of live interview on RAI Radio 2 This is one of the main national public radio stations - so indeed it was a great opportunity for us. If you know Italian (or like the sound of it)...it starts at 19'40 on: http://www.radio.rai.it/radio2/laltrolato/view.cfm?VAUDIO=laltrolato2008_01_26.ram BTW, the program is called L'altro lato, i.e. The other side of things...they liked the idea of OSM as the other maps. b) ...I spoke to the guys from the program some days later, and I had positive feedback (i.e. people where calling/e-mailing to ask for more information), so we're all happy. One of the comments I had, though, was that non-English speaking visitors of the www.openstreetmap.org website may freeze in front of the homepageas intuitive as it may be for us... ...do you think it would make sense/be possible to have in the homepage a more explicit link to other languages ? Regards! Andrea, aka pibinko http://pibinko.altervista.org p.s. last but not least, we also had another radio report on OSM in mid-January (on the topic of free geography http://alid.it/gruppo-Radio%20103) ...so we like being on FM...;) 2008/2/5, Lambertus [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Great indept interview, you explained everything thorough and clear and with a nice accent as well.
