[Osmf-talk] Living Labs Global Award

[Matt Amos]

the LLGA is an organisation which showcases solutions to challenges
that cities face globally. amongst the challenges this year [1] are a
number which might be of interest to OSM and projects which use and
contribute to our data. please take a look for yourself, but the ones
which grabbed my attention were:

* Digital Tourism and Cultural Experience: Derry-Londonderry seeks
technologies to create a rich, diverse and local experience of the
city's culture, heritage and touristic assets that will inspire
tourists and citizens alike.
* Free Spatial Data for Information & Services: City of Kristiansand
is looking for further development of geo-spatial and location-based
datasets to improve analysis, planning and participation in city's
services.
* Information on Local Travel & Destinations: Fukuoka seeks solutions
to deliver real-time bus, destination and tourist information to
visitors in an easily accessible way on smartphones, screens and
mobile devices.

it seems to me that there must be several projects with the technology
to solve part or all of these problems based on OSM data, and perhaps
it's worth entering a few of them? the deadline for submissions is the
17th Feb, so there's plenty of time to think about it, and put
together a "showcase".

cheers,

matt
