Metro's got some questions for us. I'm confident licensing back to them won't be an issue; but I'm wondering what to suggest for getting feedback back from us for their GIS system.

Hi Paul,
We had our meeting to discuss the future regional bike mapping yesterday. When the Open streetmaps discussion came up the consensus seemed to be that we're supportive of creating a license to allow you to reproduce Bike There data. Metro hasn't done something like this before, so we need to research it a little bit. One of our staff will be contacting TriMet so learn about the licenses they've created for open-source smartphone applications.

We're also interested in exploring how open-source applications such as openstreetmap.org could add a feeature allowing map users to send in feedabck on the data (e.g. identify errors in our bike lane/trail data, suggesting suitable routes, recommend changes to existing suitabilty ratings, etc.)

We'll keep you posted on our progress. In the meantime, let me know if you have any further thoughts on these issues.

Thanks!
John
