[OAM-talk] Fwd: [James Fee GIS Blog] New Comment On: Microsoft would like to publish your city's aerial imagery and Google wants your map edits for free

[Mikel Maron]

I suggest we expand out the Data Sources page, http://wiki.openaerialmap.org/Data_Sources
to facilitate "brokerage" between data suppliers and capable folks wanting to help get data into OAM.

For example, in the OpenStreetMap wiki, we keep track of completeness of geographic areas and feature types. This allows other mappers to focus their efforts.
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/UK

Suppose a brokerage system could also be built directly into the OAM app itself .. 

In any case, just a suggestion with no follow through (very busy preparing for departure from here in two days...)

Anyone wanna help them with this?

Not me ... The point is that they should do it themselves, and I
personally have no use for data from Indiana.

@ Jeffrey...you can download it here,
http://gis.iu.edu:8290/website/isds/index.htm and IIRR here too,
Indiana Geological Survey site,
http://129.79.145.7/arcims/statewide_mxd/index.html

Along with the true color 05 imagery, there are infra-red imagery and
elevation data, which were taken and processed from the same flight.
Plus there are other Indiana datasets and years.

It was a Homeland Security grant which funded the 05 flights and
processing.  It specified the 05 data be made freely available to the
public and as far as I know, no restrictions on it.

But, I would contact IGIC to make sure. Don't take my word on it. ;)
http://www.in.gov/igic/ In particular, Jenny Dubeansky at
jdbeansky at igic.org. She is the admin assistant to the executive
director of the outfit. If she doesn't know off the top of her head,
she definitely can provide or point you in the right direction.

If that doesn't work out. Let me know. I'll push some buttons on my end.
