I will send the public IP soon where ngnix virtual hosting config will be, so that the dns can be directed to this. -- GN ___ Talk-in mailing list Talk-in@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-in

In the latter project we are already using open street map. Hundreds of students are being exposed to osm as a part of the course. In the coming three years, we are going to work with 50,000 undergraduate students across the country. Considering these are Govt of India supported projects we need to take care of the borders as per Indian Govt.

Re: [Talk-in] State of the Map India
Popularising OSM: We have to show case how OSM data (where ever needed,converted to GIS) can help Civil/Admin for a transparency. Ooty OSM: Will map Ooty (a nice South Indian Hill station, Coimbatore the nearest Rail Head) along with Tracker GPS, Android Tablets, for -3- days after 10th May 2014. Any OSM enthusiasts are welcome to Join. Cheers Ravi Kumar On Sunday, April 20, 2014 6:38 PM, Paramvir Singh wrote: Great idea.

Great idea. But before that can we have some mapping parties to build up some momentum? I see very very slow development for OSM in India.
