The Map Kibera project (http://www.mapkibera.org/) is putting Kibera
on the map.

Kibera in Nairobi, Kenya, widely known as Africa’s largest slum, remains a blank spot on the map. Without basic knowledge of the geography and resources of Kibera it is impossible to have an informed discussion on how to improve the lives of residents.

Flickr is able to use the map created by Map Kibera and OpenStreetMap
(http://openstreetmap.org) for placing Flickr geotagged photos.

After one year I have released the version 0.9 [of the OSM wordpress plugin] which includes a lot of feedback from people using OpenStreetMap in their WordPress blog. The progress of OpenStreetMap maps and the fact, that many people use OpenStreetMap in their blog is motivating to keep the development of OSM-plugin running. Features implemented within the last year are covered by version 0.9:

•
OSM-shortcode generator in WP-settings
•
performance improvements
•
integrated icons
•
several gpx and kml files within one map
•
interface for geocaching
•
simple popup-html-marker with custom field
•
template tags to be added in the WP-theme
•
load non-OSM tiles
•
add controls like scaleline, mouseposition

Nestoria was an early adopter of OpenStreetMap and has sponsored every
State of the Map conference to date. Now they are interested in
hiring some OpenStreetMap talent.

hiring, join us: http://www.lokku.com/jobs/”

This could be your big break into the world of commercially-backed OSM
contributors. Give them a ring.
