[OSM-talk] OpenStreetView

[John McKerrell]

Quite odd, I was mulling over submitting talks on OpenStreetView to  
SOTM and AGI conference today. I just noticed your website and thought  
I'd see if you had mentioned it on the OSM mailing list, to find that  
you had just over an hour ago. I have the openstreetview.org and .net  
domains and have been thinking about this for the past two years  
without actually getting very far on the technology side. The  
openviewproject.org site also looks quite interesting, seems there's  
lots of people considering this.
