Hi, Just to recap
@Calvin, OAM could use your dataset - TBs of (oblique) imagery, currently stored as jpeg(?), but it's a bit unclear at the moment how the imagery is (going to be) mapped to geo/coordinates. Assuming we're going to solve this part, is there any chance to host the data @massdot and feed it via http to a caching system at @OAM before it gets delivered to the internets? On the other hand, there's still no news regarding the OAM infra (I don't think I've seen many past pointers on talk@ regarding its existence; just double checking). Any takers/helpers? btw: who takes care of the OAM wiki/www page? Can I have my own wiki account please? :-) ping @schuyler, @chris Thanks, Ciprian ---- A* On Sun, Oct 9, 2011 at 3:14 AM, Metcalf, Calvin (DOT) <calvin.metc...@state.ma.us> wrote: > Yeah if you change the extention to jpeg you can view it, other things came > up before i was able to totally figure it out but i think there is a > shapefile grid for it somewhere > Sent with Verizon Mobile Email > > > ---Original Message--- > From: "Jim Klassen" <klassen...@gmail.com> > Sent: 10/8/2011 7:07 pm > To: calvin.metc...@dot.state.ma.us > Cc: ciprian.manea+...@gmail.com, talk@openaerialmap.org > Subject: Re: [OAM-talk] Hi > > > At a previous job we ended up selecting vendors based on their willingness to > provide us the data in an open format.
