I'm -stil- working with VGC (Vlaamse Gemeenschaps Commissie) on getting a tile server provided by a third party (who aren't really dynamical), thanks to a lead from Ben. They are building this site's tile/stylesheets and serving the tiles: http://brussel.opkaart.be/ Therefore I believe that getting custom tile services for small area's is a nice niche to work with. I've set up a tile server to demonstrate what the map looks like using the stylesheet their third part provided. So I proposed this: http://tiler.bitless.be/brussel.html to demonstrate what the (ABF local tiles) style sheet being developed looked like if deployed now (all names are gone which isn't really the idea, just the commercial names had to go) It would be great to aggregate those different goverment layers/customers to use a single endpoint (read : not single server) for all their tiling needs. Next week, I'll be giving them a workshop at the 1st of april on how to use JOSM (A full day). It's awesome that we got to the point that we can explain our hobbies to a bunch of motivated mappers. Anyone with teaching material / idea's on JOSM, feel free to send it over. It's a beginners class and I don't want to screw this opportunity up. The changes in mentality seem to accelerate.
