<font size=3>Hello, all,<br><br>
<x-tab> </x-tab>I promised
that I would answer this request and find out<br>
how they are using OSM.<br>
<x-tab> </x-tab>It seems
the organization is involved in food policy, specifically<br>
providing expertise and technical tools to those involved in food
policy<br>
in cities.<br>
<x-tab> </x-tab>They said
they used OSM in a report "because we were discussing <br>
new technology and how it is being used to improve the food system. We
<br>
discuss how these types of maps can be used to monitor a variety of <br>
situations, from air pollution to even rates of depression. This helps
<br>
individuals become more aware of the environment which they live. <br>
<x-tab> </x-tab>They also
provided their mission statement:<br>

<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite="">Hi Charlotte,<br><br>
Sorry about that! We used Open Street Map in our report because we were
discussing new technology and how it is being used to improve the food
system. We discuss how these types of maps can be used to monitor a
variety of situations, from air pollution to even rates of depression.
This helps individuals become more aware of the environment which they
live. Does that make more sense?<br><br>
Best wishes,<br><br>

<dd>Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â I got that from your web site, but how did you use
<br>
<dd>the OSM photos? Is OpenStreetMap something that your<br>
<dd>organization uses regularly? How do you use us?<br><br>

<dd>Cameron,<br>
<dd>Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â I got your email because I'm on the press
list for OpenStreetMap (and I'm a retired journalist).
<dd>Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â I think your best bet for high-quality images
is our training web site, Learn OSM (<a href="http://www.learnosm.org">
</a><a href="http://www.learnosm.org">http://www.learnosm.org</a>). All
the work there is public domain and free to use.
<dd>Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Could you tell me more about the Food Policy
Center? OpenStreetMap's New York City group is very involved in local
projects. They might be able to help with any mapping questions you have
or provide support in geographical analysis of food issues. Often,
OpenStreetMap organizes what we call mapathons, group mapping sessions,
usually around a particular issue.
<dd>Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Â Good luck on your current project.<br>
<dd>Best wishes,<br>

<dd>Dear OpenStreetMap,
<dd>I am a research associate and editor for NYCFoodpolicy.org and for
the syndicated health column, Diet Detective. We are working on a story
on Health Technology and the Food System, as well as a second report on
feeding urban populations (seeÂ
<a href="http://www.nycfoodpolicy.org/new-report-health-tech-food-insecurity/">
here</a>Â for the first report on hunger and tech).
<dd>Please send three high-resolution images of your app and/or website
by tomorrow morning (Friday 7/7).7). If you are re unable to we
understand and will use screenshots instead. Â
<dd>Kind regards,</blockquote></blockquote>
