Hi, I've started to map the Falkland Islands, using a combination of Landsat and Yahoo aerial imagery (via Potlatch). It occurred to me that the island government might be interested in helping us, but I have no idea how to go about contacting them. I know that OSM has contacted governments before, so I thought I'd ask for advice.
Can I ask for help on behalf of OSM, or do I need to get permission to do that? If so, who from, and how? How have others gone about contacting governments and other large organisations to ask for data? I'm also going to see if I can find some way of contacting the locals to ask for GPS traces. One possibility might be to find the local newspaper and ask them if they'd run a story. Does anyone have any advice on how to do that? I've never done anything like this before, and I don't want to give the project a bad name by messing it up.
