From mapquest's blog post [1]: "AOL also announced today, a $1 million open-source mapping investment fund. This fund will support the growth of open-source mapping in the United States in the local communities that Patch.com covers. More information about the AOL grant application process is available by emailing o...@mapquest.com."
Looks like Patch.com only currently operates in parts of 5 NE states and California, but the Mapquest post also put in a plug for mapping parties, so who knows. There's a slightly more "techy" post from mapquest too, if anyone's interested [2] [1] http://blog.mapquest.com/2010/07/09/mapquest-opens-up/ [2] http://devblog.mapquest.com/2010/07/09/mapquest-opens-up-uk/ On Fri, Jul 9, 2010 at 4:05 PM, jeremy jozwik <jerjoz.for...@gmail.com> wrote: > On Fri, Jul 9, 2010 at 1:56 PM, Nakor <nakor....@gmail.com> wrote: >> FYI just in case it did not come to this list.
