Cameron, I agree with you. I can contact the artist (<a

if you want<br>
<br>
or somebody from Africa Local Chapter or the Dar es Salaam LOC
do it…<br>
<br>
or I do it and can put somebody of you in cc for the follow-up ?<br>
<br>
What do you think ?<br>

<p>Indeed, this is a beautiful collection of maps. I
particularly like the language map.</p>
<p>It also has a great story behind it. To date, we
haven't linked to the story behind the osgeolive
basemap, but maybe it is time to start doing so.<br>

Maelle, I think it is a good idea to reach out to
Nikolaj Cyon to sound out if she would like her image to
be available on an Open Source distribution of software
- noting that we would be wanting it to be available
under an open license. (She might be interested in
sharing a cut down version of the image in an Open
format).</p>

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>
<a

moz-do-not-send="true">https://www.openstreetmap.org/<wbr>#map=13/-6.8049/39.2472</a><br>

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

Traditionally, we have drawn

to be<br>
shaded so that icons will still

<br>
I'm wondering whether a historic
navigating chart of Africa would
be good?<br>
Maybe something like this:<br>

<a

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>
