Hello all,<br>
<br>
Ben you are with your comment.<br>
<br>
What do you think instead about an actual <div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif;font-size:small;display:inline" class="gmail_default"></div>OSM Map from Dar Es Salaam - that shows how great the region is mapped<br>
<a href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=13/-6.8049/39.2472" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank"><div style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif;font-size:small;display:inline" class="gmail_default"></div>https://www.openstreetmap.org/<wbr>#map=13/-6.8049/39.2472</a><br>
<br>
or maybe a nice photo instead of a map.<br>
<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>
<br>
Kind regards,<br>
Ben.<br>

I would vote for the map that you'd listed, but linking in the Africa Local<br>
Chapter :-)<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">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>
<br>
