I hope the project releases the data so it can be merged into openstreetmap, rather than keeping it bottled up. (To be fair, OSM already has fairly detailed data on Dar es Salaam, whether from this project or someplace else....)

The project ( Dar Es Salaam mapping ) is using OpenStreetMap technology and Data. And related to the Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team ( https://hotosm.org/ https://hotosm.org/ ) - http://ramanihuria.org/resources/ http://ramanihuria.org/resources/ - http://ramanihuria.org/about/about-openstreetmap-osm/ http://ramanihuria.org/about/about-openstreetmap-osm/ - http://ramanihuria.org/news/ http://ramanihuria.org/news/ "Dar Ramani Huria is a community-based mapping project in Dar Es Salaam, Tanzania. Dar Ramani Huria (which is Swahili for “Dar Open Map”) is training teams of local university students and community members from throughout Dar Es Salaam to use OpenStreetMap to create sophisticated and highly-accurate maps of Dar es Salaam. These neighborhoods (known as wards) were selected because the are the most flood-prone areas of the city." http://ramanihuria.org/about/ http://ramanihuria.org/about/ And the Mapillary blog post: - http://blog.mapillary.com/update/2015/12/17/worldbank.html http://blog.mapillary.com/update/2015/12/17/worldbank.html And the Humanitarian OSM blogpost: "A day mapping in Dar Es Salaam: drainage in Chang'ombe" https://hotosm.org/updates/2016-02-16_a_day_mapping_in_dar_es_salaam_drainage_in_changombe https://hotosm.org/updates/2016-02-16_a_day_mapping_in_dar_e...

  Oops, that's what I get for not investigating. Hurray data! :)

  Well then it's odd that the article doesn't mention OSM anywhere.

    Pity indeed. OTOH, "Mapillary and HotOSM and Openstreetmap and how that all fits together? Just mention the startup and be done with it."

  So: - Volunteers in Dar es Salaam are using OSM mapping software and Mapillary street photo tech - World Bank is paying Mapillary (?) - Street photos will end up CC licensed like all other Mapillary photos Right?
