Haven't seen in mentioned on the OSM lists yet, but there's a nice mention of OpenStreetMap in the article "Municipalities open their GIS systems to citizens" on the Linux.com website:
http://www.linux.com/feature/155792 ===== Municipalities open their GIS systems to citizens By Marco Fioretti on December 30, 2008 (2:00:00 PM) Many public administrations already use open source Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to let citizens look at public geographic data trough dedicated Web sites. Others use the same software to partially open the data gathering process: they let citizens directly add geographic information to the official, high-quality GIS databases by drawing or clicking on digital maps. ===== -- -- -- -- Bob Jonkman <[email protected]> http://sobac.com/sobac/ SOBAC Microcomputer Services Voice: +1-519-669-0388 6 James Street, Elmira ON Canada N3B 1L5 Cel: +1-519-635-9413 Software --- Office & Business Automation --- Consulting _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
