Pick 12 countries. Photograph the 'mapper pin-up girl' of your country. 
OSM Calendar!

With Flickr you can do an advanced search and tick only photos that are 
under creative commons with commercial use allowed. I would think that 
you can accept the uploaded holds copyright as they agreed to the Flickr 
terms and conditions. although I know some people just tick that and 
upload their friends photos so I understand you checking, also it is 
nice to tell people where their photos are being used.

It is great to have your experience Paul onboard. When the media pack is 
ready then please add a link to this page on the wiki. It is linked to 
quite prominently from the wiki homepage, someone might also decide to 
clean it up.
