<br>
with Ben Dalton, I'm happy to properly launch The New Cloud Atlas<br>
project at <a href="http://newcloudatlas.org" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">http://newcloudatlas.org</a><br>
<br>
I've written a blog post to explain it in more detail:<br>
<a href="https://thinkwhere.wordpress.com/2016/08/17/the-new-cloud-atlas-mapping-the-physical-infrastructure-of-the-internet/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://thinkwhere.wordpress.<wbr>com/2016/08/17/the-new-cloud-<wbr>atlas-mapping-the-physical-<wbr>infrastructure-of-the-<wbr>internet/</a><br>
<br>
It's a project to collect and make a map to better understand what<br>
"The Internet" means, physically and geographically. The site has a<br>
tweaked iD editor with custom telecoms presets, it creates a couple of<br>
map tilesets showing these features from OSM, with clickable features<br>
on the map.<br>
<br>
We encourage you to map your local data centres, street cabinets,<br>
telephone exchanges, telephone poles, manhole covers and more!<br>
<br>
Telecoms features in OSM are not consistently mapped with regards to<br>
each other which could provide an opportunity for some consolidation<br>
or making new taxonomies. I've created WikiProject Telecoms to help<br>
with this tagging discussion:<br>

<br>
Cheers and I look forward to your comments!<br>
