Dear Ruben,

I thought that the community could be interested in the concept of SoleWay and 
therefore sent it. Seems that something went wrong with the sending and that 
your received it several times. Sorry for this.
Anyway, I was not aware that the list is so narrow, and thought that 
OpenStreetMappers could be interested to discuss about SoleWay and to give 
feed-back about this 0D-approach. If you would like to get more info about the 
idea behind is (and not just promotalk), please let me know. I am glad to go in 
more detail why I am convinced that this approach has advantages with respect 
to the traditional indoor mapping. If no interest, of course no problem, and 
sorry for the inconvenience and the misunderstanding.

Best wishes, Nico.

Dear Nico

I received your email three times: twice in my talk-be inbox and once in my 
generic inbox, sent to me outside the list.

It seems that you have consulted the list of subscribers to this mailing list 
and sent them private e-mails. That is inappropriate. I consider this spam and 
will most certainly not be interacting with the links you send.

Regards
Ruben

Dear colleague,
Are you tired of explaining the route to your office, a meeting room, a lecture 
room ...? Or did you ever get lost in a building? Many have tried to solve the 
problem of indoor navigation with state-of-the-art technologies. All of them 
have failed. Let's create a community that's smarter than that. Together, we 
can put the world on the indoor map.
To achieve that goal, we need your help. Explore the SoleWay 
website<https://soleway.ugent.be/>, explore the existing routes, and enter your 
routes in order to help others to find their way around! Why not start with 
your own office, and then just refer to that route when visitors ask how they 
can find you (see, for example, "office location" in my signature). Why not ask 
your colleagues to create their routes, or just create a route somewhere on 
this planet? The crowd will appreciate your contribution!

It's kind of my fault, I said it was OK to talk about a project like this
with our mappers. Especially in order to better convince them to at least
use OSM in stead of Google Maps as a background map at least. Something
must have gone wrong with sending the mail, I'm guessing Nico thought his
mails weren't getting through when they in fact were. I had hoped Nico
would send a message explaining the project, not just the promotalk...

Anyway, at first glance it looked like the project could have some interest
to people working on indoor mapping. But now I understand it a bit better,
it does not seem to have much to do with mapping. Maybe if the crowdsourced
plain-text route descriptions are open data, it could be useful for
micromapping?
