[OSM-Photos] presentation about OSV

[John McKerrell]

Hi Jo

The slides for my presentation are up on slideshare.net, you can find them here:

I'm afraid I haven't really found time to work on the project in a long time but people do still seem to be making use of it. A few stats for you:

Disk space used by project: 137G

In answer to the questions. Photos are hosted by me on my server. With the moderated photos model I have to host them as otherwise someone could change the photo after it has been moderated. There's 140GB left on the disk. I'm paying for the hosting, it's on a server I use for other stuff so I don't really think about it, OSV doesn't generate enough traffic to be worth worrying about and my other projects don't generally need much space. The contract between the photo maker and OSV is covered by these legals: http://openstreetview.org/content/legals Essentially we assign CC0 (public domain type license) to the metadata while individual photos can be covered by a variety of licenses.

Hope that's useful, it would certainly be nice if more people could find uses for the project and its data. One other thing to mention is that the code is freely available on github so if anyone has ideas for features they're free to add them and send a pull request to me: https://github.com/johnmckerrell/OpenStreetView
