Public Labs is terrific. I think it shares a similar spirit to OSM in
trying to demystify mapping, to put cartographic tools into the hands of
ordinary people.
Last year I tagge
I do work with Public Lab and have a fair amount of experience with the
balloon mapping tools. I've not used PL tools to bring imagery into OSM,
but my colleague at PL, Liz Barry, gave a talk on the topic at SOTM-US this
year:

As others have said, balloon mapping is wonderful, it's great, it's
awesome, it's everything cool, but the field of vision one gets from a
kite or balloon is quite narrow.
Planes or satellites are much higher up and so can capture much larger
areas, while drones can (baring any legal restrictions)

Looks like 2013 NAIP is in progress in Oklahoma right now.

Does anyone have a setup for NAIP that works in JOSM? I tried my old
direct link, as well as one that used to be available through
OSM-US/Telescience, and none are working at the moment.
USGS Large Scale proxied through the OSM US server is here:

... and it will include NAIP when there isn't something better.

On the subject of RC and drones: I have been working on building myself a
multirotor RC platform this year. One of the ideas behind it (besides just
being fun) was to be able to go to some new construction, send it up, grab
pictures and then map from them. So far I'm still stuck on the "flying it
