If I was the CEO of a large mapping company and I took OSM seriously I would either by trying to implement OSM myself (GetMapping), trying to integrate the concepts of OSM into my own db (AND), supporting OSM (Multimap, AND). If I took it *very* seriously, I would be saying nothing at all (Google, Navteq, Teleatlast) whilst deploying my engineers to study the source code. The whole presentation is a "look - I get web 2.0 too". When I saw VL present the same "we are the OS" presentation in 2006, it was all ambulance routing and ESRI Arc GIS. The inclusion a few OSM slides along with Google Earth and Facebook screenshots, is VL tyring to show that she's ontop of things and ready for the next knighthood/civil service promotion. Its the same as the Queen releasing her Christmas speech on YouTube. I don't think HRH lies awake at night worrying about the effect YouTube is having on the BBC. > > cheers, > Chris > > ----- Original Message ---- > > From: martin dodge <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > To: [email protected] > > Sent: Friday, 11 January, 2008 12:09:59 AM > > Subject: [OSM-talk] Why place matters, slides from Vanessa Lawrence talk > > > > > > Hi, > > > > Just found an interesting set of slides of a talk by Vanessa > > Lawrence, > > > OS > > http://www.w3.org/2007/06/eGov-dc/presentations/VL_why_place_matters.pdf > > with some prominent mentions for OSM.
