Personal Thoughts
●
     Free services and data donations by large
     enterprises
●    Making business with natural disasters
●    Preparedness for natural disasters
●    Duplicate efforts, even competition?
●
     How much of our activity really helps or reaches
     disaster victims?
    SOTM2011 - #63          daniel@osmf.jp
Outlook and plans of OSM(F) Japan

●   Increase the number of active contributors
●   Import the large amount of available data
●   OSM tile server with Japanese styled map
●   Promote the usage of OSM data in Japan
●   Catch up with Germany!

3 main things I have learned in

  4 years mapping in Japan



SOTM2011 - #65         daniel@georepublic.de
{1}
        What you take as granted
            in “Western” countries
             is likely to be different
                 somewhere else.

SOTM2011 - #66        daniel@georepublic.de
{2}
   Language can be a real barrier



SOTM2011 - #67   daniel@georepublic.de
{3}
OSM is a great way to make friends
   when you're in a foreign country



 SOTM2011 - #68   daniel@georepublic.de
If you come to Japan, send an email to
      http://lists.openstreetmap.org/mailman/listinfo/talk-ja

  and some local mappers will help you to get
                            around!
