[OAM-talk] Open Aerial Map Restart Meetup

[Jeffrey Johnson]

I concur. The largest obstacle here in infrastructure. I have recently  
completed processing and tiling 10s of TB of imagery for DoD and just  
moving that amount of data around is costly and complicated, let alone  
trying to serve it.

Amazon has indicated they would be willing to help us with this kind  
of project, but I agree that a distributed registry approach makes the  
most sense in the short/medium term, and think we should focus our  
efforts there.
