Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] [OSGeoLive] Suggestions for a background image for next OSGeoLive - with an African theme

Hello althio, thanks for all the good suggestions. We should check them. Astrid Am 02.08.2018 01:07 schrieb althio: Hi OSGeo Live people, There are already good suggestions. If you need more, I would propose: - using OSM data of Dar, but not the OSM base rendering - maybe another existing r

Hi OSGeo Live people, There are already good suggestions. If you need more, I would propose: - using OSM data of Dar, but not the OSM base rendering - maybe another existing rendering (1 example: https://opentopomap.org/#map=15/-6.81422/39.30086) - some examples of real map here: http://ramanihu

Hello, (sorry, that I did not get involved at last irc meeting due to bad internet connection) I still prefer the OSM Map and would vote +1 for the OSM Map Sure many of us know OSM and use it in their daily live. But this years FOSS4G will also attract more newcomers. OSM Map would be some

I've reached out to the artist to ask if they are interested in sharing an image under an open license with us. Lets see if they respond. On 31/07/2018 7:07 PM, Maelle Vercauteren wrote: Dear all, Thanks for your comment and feedback. Cameron, I agree with you. I can contact the artist (htt

Dear all, Thanks for your comment and feedback. Cameron, I agree with you. I can contact the artist ( https://www.cyon.se/about/) if you want or somebody from Africa Local Chapter or the Dar es Salaam LOC do it… or I do it and can put somebody of you in cc for the follow-up ? What do you think

Re: [OSGeo-Discuss] [OSGeoLive] Suggestions for a background image for next OSGeoLive - with an African theme

Indeed, this is a beautiful collection of maps. I particularly like the language map. It also has a great story behind it. To date, we haven't linked to the story behind the osgeolive basemap, but maybe it is time to start doing so. The one glitch is the copyright - in that we will be wanting

Or an historical noncolonial or postcolonial map of Tanzania or Dar es Salaam? Or is this even a concern? I would like advice from the LOC. It would be great to give Dar es Salaam the same prominence (OSGeoLive background) as previous FOSS4G hosts. The Africa list rejects email from nonsubscri

Hello all, Ben you are with your comment. What do you think instead about an actual OSM Map from Dar Es Salaam - that shows how great the region is mapped https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=13/-6.8049/39.2472 or maybe a nice photo instead of a map. Astrid Am 28.07.2018 00:17 schrieb Ben Car
