Ben should you not be declaring an interest that you sell services based on closed OSM apps? - http://www.osmsharp.com/licence

Hi Julie,

It's a pitty that on your website google maps is still used. When thinking about innovation and open development specifically please have a look at OpenStreetMap and the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team:

http://hot.openstreetmap.org/projects/west_africa_ebola_epidemic

Have a look at the difference between the two mapping databases, not to mention the fact that google maps is a closed system:

http://tools.geofabrik.de/mc/#15/6.2945/-10.7728&num=2&mt0=mapnik&mt1=google-map

There is also a humanitarian mapstyle available:

http://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=16/6.2962/-10.7849&layers=H

@all: It's something that I keep seeing inside OKFN. Please stop thinking about google/google maps as open while there is a perfect and most of the time even better alternative.

Met vriendelijke groeten,
Best regards,

Ben Abelshausen

Just wanted to let you all know that NGO Aid Map<http://ngoaidmap.org/> was recently updated and now features over 3,300 projects implemented by 94 InterAction members across 151 countries - which represents $5.6 billion in aid. Included in the update are InterAction members who have published information on their Ebola response<http://ngoaidmap.org/search?utf8=%E2%9C%93&q=ebola> activities in Liberia, Sierra Leone, and Guinea.

We are also seeking feedback for those that have visited NGO Aid Map before. It would be most appreciated as we rely on user feedback to ensure we are on track with the initiative. Take the NGO Aid Map Annual Survey<https://www.research.net/s/SDBGTM8> & enter to win an iPad mini!

Thanks and have a good weekend!
Julie
