Re: [Talk-in] Geospatial Information Regulation Bill propsal
Just my two cents: This is the Indian government trying to reduce the spread of information that is non-conducive to national interests. However, OSM can dispute that our freedom of speech is being restrained. The honest counter to that is that we are entitled to freedom of speech and opinion, but also to bear the consequences of what we say. If what we maintain as a divisive opinion to national interests regardless of who is in government, it puts us in a tricky place.. Ergo: Google shows India oriented maps for requests from Indian IPs and China oriented maps for Chinese IPs. Where does that leave us? OSM is apolitical by nature and intends to stay that way. So from the government's perspective, the collective opinion of a group of Indian and non Indian geography publishers (OSM) does tantamount as being non conducive to national interests. I think this leaves us in a position where we would be open for litigation. Any thoughts?

Hi Shekhar, On 6 March 2015 at 21:40, Shekhar Krishnan shek...@topomancy.com wrote: I am withdrawing the offer of hosting from Topomancy for OSM India community server. Hello, By the way, the tile service is still running on the server ... in case the new server acquisition and setup would take time. All the same, I do not believe that having untrained and transient volunteers managing a service like this is at all viable, and don't know why such a simple question has led to such a prolonged debate. Prolonged debate? We had set the tile server up in April last year but the interest did not pick up. There was no interest in it from anyone after the system stood! Nagarjun had written: gnowledge lab has recently acquired a deidated server for openstreetmap. Johnson, Sanjay, Sathyakam, Sajjad and Arun have already promised to maintain the server. (included them in cc since I am not sure if I am subscribed to the talk-in group. I was the only one who got my hands dirty with this with inputs from mostly from Arun and Sajjad. I thought that this effort would be in the same vein, that it would take a good amount of time to start with the new install and for someone to take ownership of this task to see it through. And rather than wait for so long, the server which was already set up could have easily been used by those who wanted to play with the stylesheets until things actually materialized. Was it offensive to have stated the availability of it? At least we would have had some understanding to set up a new machine more easily, in doing so. This is why I recommended against hosting at HBCSE-TIFR, where I am on staff, and know how poorly resourced we are at the moment. S.K.
