#1514 Hosting request for app generating ambassadors map.
Closed: Fixed None Opened 14 years ago by susmit.

  1. I would like to host [https://fedorahosted.org/fama/browser/ambassadors_map this mapping app] somewhere. A test instance of this can be found [http://publictest15.fedoraproject.org/amb_map/ambassadors.html here]. What it does is self explanatory.

  2. [https://fedorahosted.org/fama/browser/ambassadors_map/ambassadors_location.txt This] file contains the location data extracted from fas. This is generated using [https://fedorahosted.org/fama/browser/membership-map.py this] python script. However, is it possible to have an automated authentication against fas for this script? Right now, it has to be run manually each time.

  3. If 2 can be done, we can set up a cron job to update the map periodically.

Thanks.

It looks like this links to - http://www.openstreetmap.org/ Is that site completely free software and packaged in Fedora? Could we run that website on our own?

The app calls two api. One is openlayers which is packaged and good. Another is open street map api, which provides the data. [[BR]]
The site is licensed under cc-by-sa 2.0 generic which is compatible and acceptable licence with fedora. [[BR]]
I also asked Spot about this. He, too, has given go ahead in this regard.
