If the merchandise page gets any bigger, 80n will be holding raffles and
cake-sales to generate money for OSM. How about something more relevant,
like selling maps and map data?
OSM is Free data, but all the people who know how to obtain it, format it for
printing, and add features to it, are part of the project.
Perhaps you could start by flicking through any holiday brochures, local
guidebooks, leaflets for restaurants, pubs and tourist attractions, for maps
which could be replaced with OSM data (in areas like surrey), and then
contact the publishers to ask if they'd be interested in an alternative map.
Formatting some OSM data in a style that reflects their current product would
be a good thing to do in advance of contacting them of course, just to show
what's available.
