  1. Good to see some of the interesting uses of OpenStreetMap publicized. Unfortunately some like ParkMaps are currently shut down with the US government :(

    Minor correction – Mikel is a former board member, not a current one.

  2. thanks Paul for your comments and for letting us know why some of the links may temporarily not be working! Yes, Mikel has been such a great advocate of OpenStreetMaps in the human rights sector: it’s via Mikel that I’ve learnt about many great OSM projects.
