[Imc-alternatives] OpenStreetMap and GeoNames

[Danyl Strype]

Kia ora koutou

Just wanted to draw your attention to a couple of free culture  
projects that might be useful to us in geolocating the projects that  
are being documented on or site. OpenStreetMap is an open equivalant  
of Google Maps
http://www.openstreetmap.org/

GeoNames is a free database of location information:
http://www.geonames.org/about.html

All data from both projects is freely available under CreativeCommons  
licenses (Attribution-Share-Alike for maps, Attribution for GeoNames),  
and can be integrated into other sites using web services.
