[OSM-talk] Host free ortophotos to be used on OSM

[enqd]

Hi, I'm really happy that people want to host it. Answering questions:
I'm newbie, I don't know how things works, I just would like to see
the images able to be used on Potlatch, something like what Nearmaps
did.
Ian Dees: I didn't find any alternate host. All messages about host
the images are on this topic.
Will you do this? If yes, let us know how it's going.
And yes It's Portuguese.

Really thanks.
