You only pay for what you store and bandwidth, so its pretty cheap. Otherwise, you could try Dropbox. Works with Ubuntu too, and will give you 2Gb. You can set up Public folders, and private ones, and it will do photo galleries automatically. I use it to keep an offsite backup of all my photos.

[talk-ph] looking for a free online service for large garmin maps
Hi, I've just completed my first experiment in making a new Garmin map, something like this: http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3078/3208708206_0607e56f6e.jpg Features: 1. city names and roads searchable (in etrex you can search with Find > All POIs) 2. routable (though I'm having problems with ferry routes) 3. contourlines at 40 meter interval! great for hikers, mountain bikers and off road navigators My problem is the file is sooo big, around 200 MB. I can't upload it to my free wikipage anymore. So I'm looking for a place to throw them to. Any ideas? Or perhaps I should sell them already? H. No. -- cheers, maning -- "Freedom is still the most radical idea of all" -N.Branden wiki: http://esambale.wikispaces.com/ blog: http://epsg4253.wordpress.com/ -- ___ talk-ph mailing list talk-ph@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ph

Re: [talk-ph] OSM Philippines legal entity (was OSM Philippines meet-up)
Hello Guys, Etienne - hopefully you remember from a while back - who knew our paths would cross again :) The need for a formal organization is simple - it helps coalesce support, it is easier to direct energy and efforts, it can be useful for funding and publicity purposes, and it makes many professional organizations feel more comfortable provided that there is an official entity that it is dealing business with. I don't think the core issue has anything to do with money (ala bank accounts, etc). I think it really is about formalizing advocacy and outreach RE OSM in the Philippines. -A -Original Message- From: talk-ph-boun...@openstreetmap.org [mailto:talk-ph-boun...@openstreetmap.org] On Behalf Of Mike Collinson Sent: Tuesday, February 10, 2009 9:17 AM To: maning sambale; OSM Cc: Etienne; Nick Black Subject: Re: [talk-ph] OSM Philippines legal entity (was OSM Philippines meet-up) At 12:58 PM 10/02/2009, maning sambale wrote: >On Tue, Feb 10, 2009 at 5:29 PM, Jim Morgan wrote: >> Good to see everyone there as well, and put faces to email addresses! >> >> maning sambale wrote, On Monday, February 09, 2009 11:17 AM: >>> On forming an organization: >>> We had a previous mail discussion on "should we have a formal >>> organization representing OSM Philippines" so this was a main >>> discussion point in Grappas.

Certainly we as OSM Foundation will do our best to accommodate a structure that keeps your costs to a minimum or preferably zero. The only checkpoint that I can think of for us is that Etienne as Treasurer can see proper control if money is involved, for example local membership dues. To help, it is important to understand the need for a "legal personality" and then do what it takes . In the past, I've been a member of clubs around the world that had a written constitution and an Annual General Meeting but no official registration that I was aware of. Is it a strict legal necessity in the Philippines or something gives an air of formality when dealing with such people as local government? Can you open a club bank account without SEC registration? Do you actually need/want a bank account? For Etienne and Nick, in the Philippines it is common practice to register an organization/club with the Securities and Exchange Commission as a non-profit. If I am paraphrasing earlier list discussions correctly, this involves a lot of paperwork and has potentially prohibitive costs.

Nice! yup sexy is the word ... But, are my eyes playing tricks on me? ... I can swear I saw an openstreetmap iframe displayed on the page when I opened it earlier, then, when I visited again an hour later, OSM is not there anymore?

[talk-ph] experimenting with addressing
Hi, I am interested in experimenting with house number addressing for OSM: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/House_numbers/Karlsruhe_Schema Does anybody have a free (as in freedom) compilation/listing of some addresses we can start with? I believe, this will be next generation data we should be adding to OSM Philippines (at least when Metro Manila roads get completed). -- cheers, maning -- "Freedom is still the most radical idea of all" -N.Branden wiki: http://esambale.wikispaces.com/ blog: http://epsg4253.wordpress.com/ -- ___ talk-ph mailing list talk-ph@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ph
