Re: [talk-ph] Capas, Tarlac Coverage
Just curious about this guys ... Technically, one can also get certain details from OSM and add it to Google Map Makers, right?

Re: [talk-ph] OSM Vacation Offer
Just a request to the would be Bounty Mapper in Boracay: Please make a brief write-up on how you did it. This would be a good case study for other orgs/company wanting specific areas included in OSM. Good luck and enjoy!

It took me 2 1/2 energetic days to collect the data for the original OSM Boracay map - which I think is still pretty much everything you see bar some new side roads and tracks. Exclusively on foot with two motorbike taxi rides. That included location and digital photo of every hotel, main tourist points (ferry, Mount Luho, Bat Cave ...), most restaurants and most tourist-oriented shops. I'd add another day if you need to go into the hotels to get contact info.

[talk-ph] OSM Vacation Offer + OpenStreetMap.org.ph Stats
Bah bids :) Our entire purpose was to 1) Ideally work within the existing OSM community and 2) Use it as a good example of open source working with a commercial example. Yesterday was the advocacy website's highest traffic day - 64 uniques (ignoring the day when we sent out the TopBlogs.com.ph massmail, which resulted in almost 200 uniques). Of those 64, 24 of them found us through search engines - 11 Google, 11 Yahoo, and 4 MSN/Live. 20 different keywords were used - which means we are getting a good random spread of people - from 'urdaneta city map' to 'streets map of bacolod city' to 'free street map of manila philippines'. While the bounce rate is high, the fact that it is not 100% (it is 61%) means that people, likely after finding the map they were looking for, still do explore what the site is about. This means they should end up learning about the OSM Project - which is good for all. ___ talk-ph mailing list talk-ph@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ph
Re: [talk-ph] OSM Vacation Offer
I ran this idea among some of my non-OSM friends and acquaintances and they
seem interested ("tempting" is the word).
A travel-photoblogger expressed a concern that P25K might not be enough if
you really wanted to create a Boracay directory (complete with pictures,
contact info, coordinates, etc. of each and every resort, restaurant, and
hotel). Also someone asked, who will shoulder the travel-related expenses?
I'll do some research to get a rough estimate on how long it will likely
take to map the whole of Boracay so we'll know what travel package to get
(3D 2N? or 4D 3N?). I remember it taking me about an hour to walk the whole
stretch of White Beach so it will probably take a whole day just to map out
the White Beach properties.

[talk-ph] OSM Vacation Offer
Hi, Got an offer here I think would be hard to resist, summer is coming and Boracay is a hot spot, we own Boracay.com.ph and have decided to develop it to its full potential, essentially we would like Boracay mapped. It's a great cross over for both commercial and open source purposes. So, we are looking to pay 25,000 pesos for someone to go and map and index all of Boracay, the entire island. By index we mean gather information on every single point of interest (beaches, restaurants, hotels etc), get that location's GPS coords, picture with a Digicam and map the place out in OSM. So who's up for a vacation? E-mail me at an...@enthropia.com if you want to discuss further.
