[Historic] History notes from SotM US

[Mikel Maron]

Hi

Jeff's presentation was an awesome look at all manner of historic OSM, definitely worth a look if you weren't there.

I'm very excited to start experimenting on an OSM server instance. Even today, met some folks studying agent based models of slum development using OSM (really!) and they need historic OSM too. Jeff, what's next? Do we need to find a server somewhere? I think using the wiki to document some of our progress is a good idea.

I'm going to start going through the process of trying to set that up shortly... : ) I believe Flickr (Eric Gelinas) & MapStory.org (Alyssa Wright), at a minimum, are interested tile consumers. I believe we have some contacts at History Pin, as well. Any advice on putting together a plan for this would be great. Bartring any input, I'll put together a (naive) rough set of next steps in the near future.
