[Talk-in] mapping party as an event

[Shajeer Mohammed]

Its not OSM data, I checked the data for Kozhikode (Calicut).The road names are not there and the data is different. The files are being served from here-http://gis.keltron.org/giskerala/

A few of the config files (.map)  are accessible and has IP/username/password for the DB.-http://gis.keltron.org/giskerala/igsg_kamap/IGSG_MAP/IGSG_files/outer_area.map

It could've been a different rendering of OSM data. The styling alone isn't sufficient.

Checking the data in OSM against this source, it's pretty clear it's a different data set. 
In the cities, it seems less comprehensive, but in the countryside it's more complete.
I wonder if anyone in Trivandrum would be able to comment on the reusability of the data. We did throw a mapping party there in 2007.

Cheers
Mikel
