Josh -- As some of you may be aware, we recently announced the Skybox for Good > <http://www.skyboximaging.com/blog/introducing-skybox-for-good> program. > > We know that some of this imagery can be especially useful in Crisis > Response situations, and therefore we are explicitly authorizing usage of > Skybox for Good imagery in any current HOT Activation > <http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/HOT_activation>, under the condition > that changesets and/or features that are derived from Skybox for Good > imagery and committed to OSM are attributed to Skybox. >
That's fantastic news!! Ok, folks, who gets to send the formal Thank You....? I bet that's the communications working group. And I also bet it's safe to infer a whole bunch of individual thank-yous. ;-) > This could, for example, include the method of attributing Skybox as the > "source", or a similar method deemed appropriate by HOT. > We had that older thread about imagery tagging, where it came down to "source" (used since forever) and the new, automatically-added "imagery_used" tag in iD, which, it was pointed out, might not be accurate if the user switches imagery temporarily -- would have to see what iD does in that case. One thought -- maybe it would be good to add "imagery_used" in JOSM with the same behavior as iD, just so they're consistent. We'd keep adding source, but imagery_used would be there as a fallback. Task validators can also check for a source tag, since a task usually specifies a set of imagery. -- Pat
