hi, a) As we are getting into some "radio clippings" review: on the occasion of the mapping party in Arezzo, in addition to the extensive local coverage already mentioned by Edoardo, we also had some 8 minutes of live interview on RAI Radio 2
This is one of the main national public radio stations - so indeed it was a great opportunity for us. If you know Italian (or like the sound of it)...it starts at 19'40" on: http://www.radio.rai.it/radio2/laltrolato/view.cfm?VAUDIO=laltrolato2008_01_26.ram BTW, the program is called "L'altro lato", i.e. "The other side" of things...they liked the idea of OSM as "the other maps". b) ...I spoke to the guys from the program some days later, and I had positive feedback (i.e. people where calling/e-mailing to ask for more information), so we're all happy. One of the comments I had, though, was that non-English speaking visitors of the www.openstreetmap.org website may "freeze" in front of the homepage....as intuitive as it may be for us... ...do you think it would make sense/be possible to have in the homepage a more explicit link to "other languages" ? Regards! Andrea, aka pibinko http://pibinko.altervista.org p.s. last but not least, we also had another radio report on OSM in mid-January (on the topic of free geography http://alid.it/gruppo-Radio%20103) ...so we like being on FM...;) 2008/2/5, Lambertus <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > Great indept interview, you explained everything thorough and clear and with > a nice accent as well.
