live blog attempt openstreetmap sotm 2011
friday openstreetmap conference - state of the map 2011
panel discussion about getting osm with business
how to build software to get data into osm. needs millions of people. So need apps that are different thaneditor - gmaes, fun stuff, that happen inciodentally to add stuff to map.
philip - scobbler
good and painful experiences
germany - very good data
how can we close gap, spotting errors on map, and pro mappier fixing them
bridging gap betwen consumers
sending erros by email. Big coompanies coming to it - companies find it hard to work with commuity
linux - commercial venduers - redhat etc.
likely to have osm community assurance for osm
feedback loop - data all there but hard to see the data. hard to get a feel about things that are missing
things missing may be bettwe seen by specialist grops
somepeople may not want to contribute to world map, but would be interested in working with their own area
geocaching and osm - if they see a oroblem with it....
ideas for apps, where incidental benefit is osm
---
control of master checkin like linux development - osm no one checks inputs
open community - to start doing bug tracking
issues where.. small peices at same time interupts whele network
trying to do something goog - but... spirals out of cppontrol

rweait - wheelap germainy map - poi based on wheelcharir accesibility
