[Osmf-talk] As a Foundation Member I am starting a Volunteer project to develop my country's whole map in OpenStreetMap

Wed Jan 17 10:30:49 UTC 2018

Thanks Mr. Hoque,
I am already a member of that group named "OpenStreetMap Bangladesh". Me
and My two members has developed already almost all landmarks structure
beside the national Highways of Bangladesh. I saw the group "OpenStreetMap
Bangladesh" it is good to developed research and educational sector wise
map update. but I think it also should do something more so that one day we
can compare this map withh Google map. So we need to plan something to
develop OpenStreetMap as Google map. I know this will be not easy but not
Impossible. If  me and you or anymore mappers plan to do this step by step,
then definitely one day we can compare OpenStreetMap of Bangladesh with
Google map. I have knocked you on messenger and send you friend request,
but did not get any reply.  My first plan is to find some Division wise
mappers who are willing to develop their division wise map (National
Highway and beside structures).I already found 3 persons and this step is
almost done with our 25000 data input. secondly I want to plan District
wise Development (With Local raod and beside structure). Have OpenStreetMap
Bangladesh doing this type of plan. If not, then let start jointly to do
this using that group if you want. Or I can do this also with finding some
people. One more issue, Can I train free of cost to the students of some
varsitys about How to Edit in OpenStreetMap as a Foundation Member, or can
I give them any certificate  after that training as a foundation member of
Open Street Map. I think we should think about this also to increase the
interest to develop our country map in Bangladesh. What you think Mr. Hoque?
