- State of the Map Latam 2016, Sao Paulo - Foss4g Asia / Geospatial World Forum, Hyderabad Copy: Surveyor General of India r100 as State of the Map 2016 ======================== Hello Suchith, dear new board, dear all, now I can answer the question about "doubtless open systems". I grew up in Sao Paulo and there I had a dream: an orientation standard. Many years after, I've submitted the following open data on occasion of the SOTM Latam 2016: http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/VolksNav/traces/2288881 http://umap.openstreetmap.fr/de/map/r100saopaulo_107022#11/-23.5435/-46.6037 This could be the trace of a drone flight, exactly 10 km around the urban pole. Such coordinates are more or less easy to reproduce, so nobody would come to the idea to claim intellectual property for such a virtual flight. This standard circle would be helpful mainly for those who can't read maps but can read a clock, see www.volksnav.de/r100SaoPaulo. Imaginary tools aren't patentable, so let's declare circles + imaginary clocks + knowledge as doubtless free and open and as Open Knowledge. At the other side, I expect EUR 1,- for the rights to use each the intellectual upgrades of the logo www.volksnav.de/SofMSPlogo and the venue map www.volksnav.de/StateOfTheMapSP. Remark: no information got lost. I'll liberate the next months the same for about one thousand relevant "clocks" including Umbilicus Urbis, Himalaya, Twin Cities, Niagara Falls, south pole www.volksnav.de/Antarctica/Antarktica.kml etc. For Hyderabad events, this would look like this: Trace <http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/VolksNav/traces/2289289> http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/VolksNav/traces/2289289 Umap http://umap.openstreetmap.fr/de/map/hyderabad_r100_107313 knowledge www.volksnav.de/r100Hyderabad Logo upgrades <http://www.volksnav.de/Foss4gAsiaLogo> www.volksnav.de/Foss4gAsiaLogo <http://www.volksnav.de/GeospatialLogo> www.volksnav.de/GeospatialLogo Venue map, building numbers, room numbers www.volksnav.de/IIIThyderabad www.volksnav.de/GeospatialHyderabad Compare both urban codes and discover the distance between both events: 40 minutes = 4 km. Compare this with Corbusier's doubtless open but limited system in Chandigarh. The Open Hand could be the urban pole there www.volksnav.de/Chandigarh I'd be more than glad if the new board of OSGeo etc. would support this evolution www.volksnav.de/evolution. I'm thinking about a layer where OSGeo etc. would let the consumers decide if they use such tools or not. I'm absolutely sure, many secondary ideas or even killer applications will arise. Thank you in advance Henrique
