Hi, The meeting we had with waypoints.ph/rpmap.org guys was very encouraging. I think we were able to convince them in favor of OSM. The meeting initially designed as a simple OSM overview and JOSM tutorial moved into a discussion on data imports. I believe a collaboration with them would greatly benefit OSM Philippines.
There are a couple of issues/concerns (both social and technical) with the planned data import. I have sent my communication with talk-ph list for further discussion of the community. Although this concerns only the Philippines, please have a read and give us further comments: http://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-ph/2008-October/000067.html cheers, maning for OSM Philippines On 10/13/08, maning sambale <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Thanks!
