Just was able to get JoePranevich http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/JoePranevich (who was #606 on the prolific contributor USA list) to agree today. Just sent him a PM via OSM this morning, and less than 6 hours later, he's agreed and it saves several things in Pittsburgh as well as around the USA (like in FL). :) Now I can at least remove ahead of time a few "odbl=clean" tags in Pittsburgh since he's agreed. :) > From: [email protected] > Date: Thu, 9 Feb 2012 07:28:03 -0500 > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [Talk-us] Contacting high-impact undecided users in the US > > On Tue, Feb 7, 2012 at 7:25 AM, Josh Doe <[email protected]> wrote: > > For starters I tried to find one of the users, David Speakman, and > > after a bit of searching have found his LinkedIn page, two domains > > registered to him, from which I got his email, phone number, and > > address.
