[OSM-talk] OpenStreetMap Pledge

[Mikel Maron]

Seems to me the best way to distribute data this frequently would be a filtered (ie no user identifiable tables) database replication.

If someone sets up a way for me to obtain, nightly, the worldwide output
of the getnodes function for the whole world, and the corresponding
getlines call from those returned nodes (as described in the file
dao.rb), before the 10th of June, I will donate $200 towards the
OpenStreetMap project.

I will also, from this data, set up a rendered version of OpenStreetMap,
in a tiled instance of OpenLayers, on hardware that can support a lot of
traffic, and build code that will convert this data into a shapefile
every night, to be used by whatever projects people want to use them
for, releasing the shapefile under the same license as OSM.

Anselm Hook has offered to match that contribution.
