I would prefer to use the Tech Talk for the greater ideas that are now
in the wiki.
I'm sure that there will be also ideas are comming from OSM where
Wikimedia can help. One point I hear from Simon Poole was to support
arial images (free and user-generated), for this we are talking about
20-100 Terra-bytes of data. I see this as next logical step after
http://opengeoserver.at/ was supported by WMDE. It would help both
projects, we would get arial maps and OSM can use this as a source.
I see this round to define the big perspective how both projects can
cooperate in the next years.
On the tile-server Kai, Alexandros and I are working on it. Kai is
strongly involved in OpenStreetMap. When everything is working, we will
surely talk about priorities of different map styles. In the moment I
have following styles in the focus:
*Mapnik-default, -nolabels
*Hikebike
*black&white
*WikiMiniAtlas
*Multilingualmap
*Hillshading
These styles will be the basement for further styles. They are coming
from Toolserver and are there the most popular once. So it's simple to
define priorities in the moment. We are open for suggestions, but I see
not a reason to involve a large group of people in the moment.

Thank you for all the feedback, now listed at
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/OpenStreetMap
Please watch this page, edit it, and add links to OpenStreetMap related
pages we might have in other places. We don't have a single page to find
all the technical collaboration initiatives between OSM and Wikimedia,
and this could be the one.
Now, back to the topic of the Tech Talk. What about a session focusing
on the tile server, what it is, which features it will enable, what it
means to OSM, who is involved...?
If we can get 1-2 people from each organization the we have an
interesting session guaranteed. One hour in some day between May 27-29.
What do you think?
