<p>-0 from me for an OSM basemap for OSGeoLive (unless someone wants
to enhance the image).</p>
<p>Reasons: While I think it is great to promote OSM, I think that
it is best if we can add a bit of creative flair to each OSGeoLive
release. Using OSM is using something most of us will already be
familiar with and won't have a "Wow" factor (unless someone
volunteers to develop a new and cool style for the basemap). Also,
we want each release to look different to the last so that people
can easily recognise the difference, and using an OSM image every
year won't show such an obvious difference (unless combined with
another image in some cool way).<br>

Hello all,<br>
<br>
Ben you are with your comment.<br>
<br>
What do you think instead about an
actual OSM Map from Dar Es Salaam -
that shows how great the region is
mapped<br>

or maybe a nice photo instead of a
map.<br>

I love historical maps. However,
maps have been both the tool and<br>
emblem of colonisation, by which
Africa has been particularly badly<br>
affected. The choice of an
historical map of Africa for the
OSGeoLive<br>
background must be informed by the
actions of those who used it and<br>
their impact on the people of
Africa, as well consider of the<br>
current-day appropriateness of the
labels used on the map. I would<br>
follow the advice of the Africa
Local Chapter and the Dar es Salaam<br>
LOC.<br>

Kind regards,<br>

The time has come to select a
background image for our next
OSGeoLive<br>
release, which is scheduled to
be ready in time for FOSS4G Dar
es Salaam,<br>
and we are looking for
inspiration for a background
image.<br>
<br>
Traditionally, we have drawn
inspiration from the image from
the<br>
conference location, and are
hoping that someone with a
mapping or artistic<br>
eye can suggest an interesting
map, or image that we can use.
The image<br>
needs to be available under an
open license, and will likely
need to be<br>
shaded so that icons will still
stand out against it.<br>
<br>
I'm wondering whether a historic
navigating chart of Africa would
be good?<br>
Maybe something like this:<br>
<br>
<a
href="https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:AMH-7121-KB_Map_of_Africa.jpg"
rel="noreferrer"
target="_blank"
moz-do-not-send="true">https://commons.wikimedia.org/<wbr>wiki/File:AMH-7121-KB_Map_of_A<wbr>frica.jpg</a><br>
<br>
Or maybe a drawing of some of
the big African animals.<br>
<br>
Are there any people in the
mapping or African communities
who would be<br>
willing to help us out here?<br>
<br>
Warm regards,<br>
