[talk-pr] OSM Puerto Rico

[JOSE L CUEVAS]

Jeff,

It sounds like fun, I’m all the way in the other side of the island.  I do software development for living,  currently working as the IT director.

I made an utility to add POI is available at: http://www.uprm.edu/cti/ckosm/

I have tried to batch upload data from walgreens, walmarts, etc with some degree of success mainly because some of their company websites make it a bit hard to mine the data. It will be fun to go around the island and map touristic places.

I have a lot of interest in the project and am always interested in supporting it how I can and doing a little mapping.  Right now I'm interested in improving the map in Viejo San Juan and Condado, and also interested in getting to know other OSM contributors around here.

From looking at the map history it seems that there are only a handful of active contributors around, which means a lot of edits have been made but there is still plenty of stuff to map.
