[open-development] NGO Aid Map (Updates & Seeking Feedback)

Mon Dec 1 11:47:30 UTC 2014

Hi Bill,

Thanks for point that out.

If you look closely you will notice that my 'product' cannot be used in the
context of a website like this... also note that I did not link to any of
this and that I should not be discredited just because I have a small
open-source project that I try to monetize. But my apologies for not
disclosing this it may be relevant in some way. I'm also a board member of
OKFN-Belgium and a contributor to HOT (Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team),
OpenStreetMap and a member of the OpenStreetMap foundation.

My original point should still be valid. I'm just pointing out that it's
strange to use google maps in the context of open development that's all...

Cheers,

Ben
