Congratulations and thanks for taking this on. This is the right time for a reboot of this project, given the availability of high quality openly licensed satellite data, donated Aerial and crowd sourced UAV / Balloon/ Kite mapping imagery.
Will this be a free to submit service so citizens can participate easily ( http://publiclab.org/ ) ? I am looking forward to see it live :-) On Thu, Jul 3, 2014 at 6:36 PM, Kate Chapman <k...@maploser.com> wrote: > Hi All, > > I'm excited to officially announce the reboot of the OpenAerialMap > project(1).

But If you only save the physical environment, you will ultimately lose both. 1) Don’t drive species to extinction 2) Don’t destroy a habitat that species rely on. 3) Don’t change the climate in ways that will result in the above. }<(((*> _______________________________________________ HOT mailing list HOT@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/hot
