[OSM-talk] My Openstreetmap talk at 24C3

[Frederik Ramm]

Hi,

Well... I finished the chapter on routing yesterday, and an hour  
later heard that Roadmap now has OSM support as well so I'll have to  
include that - and that's pretty much symptomatic of everything we  
did for the book. The Potlatch chapter needs some minor corrections  
as well... ;-) it is quite difficult to portray something as fast- 
moving as OSM but I think we just about got it right. Many  
fundamentals are still the same as when I joined a year ago.

It i s going to be a "real" book, German Language, about 300 pages,  
and aims to have everything the would-be mapper needs to get going,  
as well as an overview about the technical background of the project  
(i.e. data model, XML, and stuff). We assume it is going to hit the  
market some time in February.

Bye
Frederik
