<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

<p>The one glitch is the copyright - in that we will be wanting to

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>

I take this occasion to share this map of Africa that I like. It
was Africa if colonialism had not occurred as imagined by
Nikolaj Cyon :<br>

If the Africa Local Chapter and the Dar es Salaam LOC likes it
too, we could try to contact the artist and see if we can use
it...<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>
<a
href="https://www.openstreetmap.org/#map=13/-6.8049/39.2472"
rel="noreferrer" target="_blank"
moz-do-not-send="true">https://www.openstreetmap.org/<wbr>#map=13/-6.8049/39.2472</a><br>
<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>

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"
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>
