the OSM community to import the building footprint and
address data properly.</font></font><br>

</font></font><font size="-1"><font face="Verdana">I'm
coordinating the effort and wanted to reach out to this list,
per the Import Guildelines. I've created some OSM Wiki pages as
a start to compile all the info publicly.<br>
<br>
Main Import page:<br>
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Louisville,_Kentucky/Building_Outlines_Import">https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Louisville,_Kentucky/Building_Outlines_Import</a><br>

Added to this list: <br>

<br>
We've got a number of members who have made some OSM edits over
the last few years. We are reaching out to more active local
OSM editors too. If there is anyone on this list who is an
active editor locally we'd love to have your support and help!<br>
<br>
You can read more about the project here on our forum:<br>

<br>
I'd like to ask for help with making sure we do everything
correctly, and next steps. We want to follow in the footsteps
of NYC, LA, Chicago and NOLA who have all recently done
something similar.<br>
<br>
We have a technically competent team of volunteers (programmers,
mappers, GIS, coders), and our short term goal is to get things
setup for a hackathon we are hosting Feb 21 called CodeAcross.
At CodeAcross we'll have a day to really get people focused on
loading the data in chunks into OSM.<br>
<br>
I'm also sending this to the imports-us@ list. If I should
focus my communications there just let me know.<br>
<br>
Thanks,</font></font><br>
