Hello HOTties and OSMers, Sorry for cross-posting. I'm writing to let you know about the Open Aerial Map (OAM) project and inviting anyone who is interested to join us at the kickoff meeting this Thursday, January 22nd, 18:00UTC on IRC [1].
OAM was conceptualized back in 2007 as a global catalog and repository of open aerial imagery. Think of OSM but for imagery data. The idea is to build a system where data can be uploaded in raw georeferenced format and then made accessible through a tile server layer or OGC WMS/WCS. The imagery can be contributed by anyone from an individual drone mapper to a satellite image provider. OAM is then available to HOT, the OSM community and anyone needing it for tracing or analysis. Please join us on the OAM list [2] and looking forward to talking to some of you on Thursday.

It will be on the HOT IRC channel [2], anyone is welcome to join. I will send a reminder tomorrow and a list of ideas to start with for our discussion. Please forward to anyone who may be interested.
