Hi Friends, Craig <https://tasks.teachosm.org/user/Craig%20Dsouza>, Chiranjan (who works at Pune Municipal Corporation under 100 Resilient Cities program) and I <https://tasks.teachosm.org/user/Answerquest> have conducted some sessions on OpenStreetMap in Pune, MH over the past month. One of them was at Gokhale Institute of Politics and Economics, and another was at College of Engineering Pune > Town Planning Department.
We have come across queries from people having great data, well curated and institution-backed, that they want to contribute to OpenStreetMap. But they do not have the resources and knowledge required to do so on their own. We do not have experience in this, and the time we have on our side to put into this will be limited. Looking for some resource person(s) who can either instruct precisely (very precisely!), or take charge of and drive the process. After seeing through one import end-to-end we may develop more capacity to do this on our own. I will be attending SOTM Asia this weekend, let's meet up if you're there. (Name: Nikhil VJ. OSM id: Answerquest. For phone num, see email signature). Also inviting other people who want to do bulk data import, let's connect. ---- Some links I have read through regarding this topic: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import Main OSM Wiki page on bulk imports http://www.weeklyosm.eu/archives/10846 Has a section on imports https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/imports the imports mailing list of OSM https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/Catalogue Table of OSM bulk imports so far. https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Kerala_Road_Import Kerala roads import page https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Import/Catalogue/AlberiMonumentali-RAFVG-opendata another wiki page of a bulk import process -- Cheers, Nikhil VJ +91-966-583-1250 Pune, India http://nikhilvj.co.in
