Hello Everyone,
Sorry for the longer silence. IMPACT Initiatives actually had a MoU for
data imports to OSM, but it was outdated.
I got an updated one now and am happy to share it with you here.
How do we continue from here?
I have the data basically good to go in shp format.
All the best,
Sebastian
