[Talk-us] Fwd: Re: [OSM-talk] Mapquest launches site based on OSM!

[Brad Neuhauser]

>From mapquest's blog post [1]:

"AOL also announced today, a $1 million open-source mapping investment
fund.  This fund will support the growth of open-source mapping in the
United States in the local communities that Patch.com covers.  More
information about the AOL grant application process is available by
emailing osm at mapquest.com."

Looks like Patch.com only currently operates in parts of 5 NE states
and California, but the Mapquest post also put in a plug for mapping
parties, so who knows.

There's a slightly more "techy" post from mapquest too, if anyone's
interested [2]
