Why do think OSM needs a platform like TomNod and what data do they bring to the table? Again, just trying to understand the value they bring -- the teams that started TomNod it is wicked cool and DIgitalGlobe, who bought TomNod, is a huge OSM lover - so lots of love. </span></div><div><br><div><br></div><div>-sent from the mobile-</div></div><div><br>On Apr 28, 2015, at 8:56 PM, William Morris <<a href="mailto:wboykinm@geosprocket.com">wboykinm@geosprocket.com</a>> wrote:<br><br></div><blockquote type="cite"><div><div dir="ltr">Kevin Bullock of DigitalGlobe has graciously shared the results of the TomNod effort so far, licensed CC 3.0 (with a plan to specifically permit OSM use): <div>- map: <a href="https://geosprocket.cartodb.com/viz/bb5ed630-ee1e-11e4-8dca-0e018d66dc29/embed_map">https://geosprocket.cartodb.com/viz/bb5ed630-ee1e-11e4-8dca-0e018d66dc29/embed_map</a> </div><div>- data: <a href="http://mapperdev.tomnod.com/results/">http://mapperdev.tomnod.com/results/</a><br><div><br></div><div>It seems like there might be an opportunity in future activations (or now) to use this data for: </div><div><br></div><div>1.)
