Thanks, that looks good. If they have some type of compatible license, we can be in business. I think it is a good proposition to raise some money in kosovo, the benefits for the people of having maps are great. We just need a good price!

Re: [OSM-talk] Where can we purchase sat photography for usage in openstreetmap?
Well, we need 10,908 km2 for Kosovo http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kosovo so 163,620 € But we dont need highres of all the farmland. I guess we would just start with the major cities. Prishtina is854 km2 according to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pristina So that would be 12675 Euros for the city... lets see what we can do. Is the license ok for tracing into osm/sharing of the images? mike On Sun, Feb 7, 2010 at 11:06 AM, Simone Cortesi sim...@cortesi.com wrote: On Sun, Feb 7, 2010 at 10:52, jamesmikedup...@googlemail.com jamesmikedup...@googlemail.com wrote: Thanks, that looks good.

Sometimes you buy imagery... and sometimes you buy the place outright: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/02/05/skrunda-soviet-ghost-town_n_450719.html $3.1m for only 110 acres? A tad expensive maybe? I can't imagine the buildings being of good quality. In Manhatten, yes, but in the middle of Latvia? Something smells fishy to me.

I can't imagine the buildings being of good quality. me neither In Manhatten, yes, but in the middle of Latvia? Something smells fishy to me. Did the crisis hit you that hard? I mean 3.1M for 45 hectars, that's 6.89 USD a squaremetre - cheap for construction land, but cheapest for built up land, don't you think? cheers, Martin ___ talk mailing list talk@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk

Hi, jamesmikedup...@googlemail.com wrote: I just found out that we cannot use any of the data from eurimage.com in osm. We want to raise funds to buy high res photos of Kosovo for tracing. Read http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Gaza and talk to Peter Miller who was, I believe, involved in obtaining the aerial photography for Gaza. I have a hunch that some suppliers of aerial photography are willing to make a trade: they hand us their imagery, we hand them whatever we trace from the images under a no-strings-attached license. This would basically mean that during such a project, the imagery would be made available to selected persons only, and these have to agree that everything they trace is dual licensed (OSM plus special rights for those who gave use the images). It's always better to convince them to simply hand over the images and take the data from OSM afterwards, of course.
