Hi all! Let me give you a status update on the OpenStreetCam competition. We have about a week to go before the $100 prize and two $25 prizes will be awarded to the most prolific OpenStreetCammers. If you have the app, you can pull up the leaderboard and get some idea of where you stand.
The community had collected 144,000 images in Australia before December 1, when the competition started. Since then, you collected 191,000 more, comfortably doubling coverage in Australia. Wonderful! The last few days saw a particularly nice trend upwards. Also, a word on Waylens dashboard cameras. Telenav had customized cameras made that capture and upload OpenStreetCam imagery automatically. OSM US has around 20 that they lend to their members. A blog post[1] explains in a bit more detail what these cameras are. We have some to give out. I would prefer to give them to one or more local communities who want to make an effort to capture their entire city or area. If you’re interested, please get in touch with me off-list.
