[Incubator] Joining OSGeo as a community project

[Harel Mazor]

 Hi Jody,

This is an open source project as can seen in the wiki
<https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Israel_Hiking_and_Biking_Maps> page.
The sources are located in the "Map <https://github.com/IsraelHikingMap/Map>"
and "Site <https://github.com/IsraelHikingMap/Site>" repositories and are
rich with functionality that doesn't exist in other projects such as unique
map styling, merging POIs algorithm and find missing OSM tracks among other
code examples on how to use other GIS open source libraries.
We are deeply engaged with the open source GIS community to contribute to
other repositories which we use as well.
I hope this answer the questions, but if not we'll be happy to elaborate.

Best Regards,
Harel Mazor.
