Data imports

Node density of imported POI in Makati

Naga city import

Many possible data were evaluated and rejected.

Community guidelinesPlanned imports should be announced to the talk-ph list. Imports should NEVER delete or get in the way with local mapper's contributionsPublic link should be provided to anyone willing to evaluate the quality.Community-consensus should be made before imports.Another announcement will be made when consensus was achieved.Another announcement after data import.Document the process and progress in the wiki.

Using the data

Using the dataProviding useful applications based on OSM

is our super secret recruitment scheme to convert users to mappers

Emerging issues

Too few mappers may lead to “volunteer fatigue”.

More tools for easier ways to contribute. Weird variants of “tagging for the renderer”. Community privacy issues.

Indigenous peoples resources Managing vandalism and copyrights.

A more local control and discussion on possible copyrighted data in OSM

Future plans/activities

Collaborate with local developers, local businesses and government agencies to use the data beyond the osm.org map tiles.

Partnerships with schools. More gpstogo units. More imagery. Merging of common interest with other

crowdsource groups Our very own conference. Sponsors are

welcome. :)
