Another Eurocentric Award ?? http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Awards North Star The North Star has been awarded to people who have either completed all the roads within a District, Small County, Large town or City; or for people that have solved a big problem for everyone within OSM.
I would think that a lot of Australian mappers have completed the equivalent of a large town singlehanded (as usual the words on the wiki aren't well expressed - is this for doing it singlehanded or putting the last piece in?) and as we don't navigate by the North Star, we could self-award ourselves Southern Cross Awards, and we'd be happy for Southern African and South Americans to join in too we could be more precise and suggest that a mapper has put in 90% of the roads in an area of so many square kms?? Owing to the lack of OSM I've actually been reading some books and found one writer noting that even the use of a Mercator projection is Eurocentric and they weren't talking about OSM. _______________________________________________ Talk-au mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-au
