[HOT] Ecuador - More Projects?

Sun Apr 24 10:31:48 UTC 2016

Hi,

OSM France server has no capacity issue to host and serve more images.
And there is a license agreement* defined and signed that allows imagery
distributed by AirbusDS to be hosted by OSM France for mappers to
produce derivative works for OSM database, and for no other use (in short).

There are also processes for treatment ready, whose quality of produced
images was of interest even to professionals in the field.

Please make the best choices so that these images can be used at best to
support those who help the affected people in Ecuador.

Best wishes,

Jean-Guilhem
