Hello everyone!
I’d like to share a reddit post that I wrote a couple of days ago.
http://www.reddit.com/r/freesoftware/comments/237wzb/id_love_to_find_a_way_to_support_more_free/
I was thinking about building a free map where people can create new layers or contribute to existing ones (for instance a phone book, pictures, videos, earthquakes, wikipedia, …).
I would also like to generate revenue from the map, for example displaying sponsored content such as businesses. I want to do this in order to direct all the revenue toward development of free software. My idea is to support OSM at first, and use this as a starting point to support other free projects.
I’d really love to hear your opinions on this matter. Unfortunately I’m now aware of other projects possibly doing the same thing.
Please share the link to this page if you know somebody who might be interested in this idea.
Thank you!! A lot!!!
