Dear All Philippine OSM'ers
I am in the process of setting up our own OSM server for use with
disasternet.org so that we can implement some specific styles and data
presentations for use on our base map
As a side project, if there is any interest, I am willing to set up a
specific Philippine Map that can be styled to suit the work that OSM
Philippines has done. What this means is that if there are any specific
tagging schemes used that are unique to the Philippines we can display them
any way we like.
I will do this at no charge (as a community service) provided that it does
not kill my servers and I will use Google Adsense to try and generate some
income to mitigate costs and advertise Disasternet.org on it as well. If
sponsorship of around P7-10K (10 is better) per month can be found, I can
manage the server time, space and update frequencies in a way that will
allow it to be set up so that the usage will be dedicated to the Philippine
map and not shared with our other maps. I can also make it completely add
free (which is good). It will still be on our integrated platforms, but
isolated from other map requests.
For the technically minded, the platforms we use are as follows
Windows Servers
Postgres 91. with PistGis2.0
GeoServer
GeoWebCache
Styling via SLD
Updates are done every minute from the main OSM servers
Questions:
Does the community want to have its own map that can be styled to suit the
Philippines?
If so, then:
What Domain do you want to use.
What tagging differences and styles do you want to implement. (I will set
up a generic style on te map that we can discuss and modify)
Looking forward to a positive response.
Regards
Mark Cupitt
