Hello OpenLayers users, I sent this email previously, but do not believe it went through - apologies in advance for any duplication. I realize the users list-serv is for more technical aspects but considering the low volume on the Announcements list-serv, I wanted to make sure this message reached the full developer community.
I am writing to you all as an Editor of Global Pulse, the international health journal of the American Medical Students Association. We are an open-access, 100% volunteer, student run journal. We are interested in using OpenLayers to develop a map or the archives of our journal, dating back to its inception in 2005. We seek to georeference each story that has appeared and create a webmap page on the site for readers to explore our stories. We also want to bring in feeds from other geotagged content, such as Wikipedia and Photos from flickr, etc. We would like to be able to toggle by year and content type (research, reflection, photoessays). We estimate the total time for the project to be around 40 hours. Though we would need to rely on volunteer power to complete this project, we hope to utilize it as a pilot to apply for grants in order to create a larger, wiki style map (we estimate this project to require 5k-10k+ in funds to develop) so your volunteer with this project could lead to future work. If you or anyone you know would be interested in helping with this project in any way, please feel free to contact me directly. Again, this would be a volunteer project with the possibility of future paid work. Sincerely, John Pearson Editor, AMSA's Global Pulse Journal http://www.globalpulsejournal.com/ _______________________________________________ Users mailing list Users@openlayers.org http://openlayers.org/mailman/listinfo/users
