hi guys,<br><br>I just have to think. This is still the only real Free geodata site out there. Whether we are in this because it is something to do with a GPS or because we think that geodata should be *free*, we are still in this together. So who wants to fork the project? I doubt that anyone actually wants to do that, if they did then why not do it from the .osm data? It would be easy just setp up five boxes, find hostinig somewhere, or pay for it your selves. Then spend all your time as sys admin (being paid nothing) whilst sorting out your own life too. Throw in a mailing list that is practically a soap opera in itselft.. few...... just about there.
<br> I'm in, fuck it, I'll do a Masters degree and run OSM too! - who's joining me?<br><br>So what *everyone* is after - just what does history add to the data - why do people want history, I just dont get it - please enlighten me! So you need history to code: much code has been contributed without history?
<br><br>So guys, I've just got broadband back, so I'm choked. But who volunteers to run OSM? - like Sys Admin (name on the documents), not giving a server, like, legal (get taken to the cleaners in the UK), one person saying "yes" dpes not help as the licence for OSM means that if one contributor wants to remoce their work, all subsequent edits must be removed - that's right, if I sau that all my edits have to go, everyone's edits that are based on mine have to go as well. That's the limit with the current license. So back the the Sys admin burden, as well as the legal potential for being totally screwed, you have a massive mailing list to reply to, and shit.... OSM dont pay no money. How can you live? Giving talks and gaining 'academic credit' does not pay the kind of bills we hit in London (rent is £120+ per week).
<br><br>If Steve wanted to rip you all off, he would do it in a much more convincing way than through OSM: really, who thinks that Steve is lying to you? <br> <br>So me belegered point is: think about what you are proposing.
