[talk-ph] donation to OSMF or OSM-Philippines
Thanks in part to OSM project, I am getting some bread out of small mapping projects. As a way of giving back, I try to negotiate with the client that portions of the data collected should be donated to OSM. Some agree and I am processing some of it from a recent mapping trip. Another option would be to donate some cash directly to the community. OSMF have the mechanism for receiving donation, but I personally wanted that this go directly to the OSM Philippines. Prior to creating a donation mechanism would be to set-up the Phil. local chapter. That being said, any particular wishlist the group want donated? GPS, cash, event sponsorship? -- 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

See this: http://osm.org/go/4zhS27S1Y- Although this example is not an amenity, the label for Marikina River Park was an automated label placement rendered by mapnik. Secondly, I normally place a node either at the center or near the entrance/exit for GPS routing purposes. Routing is sometimes broken when the POI node is too far from the road. -- 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
