Extractotron

In one of my SotM 2011 talks, I suggested that OSM should have regular extracts of metropolitan areas for major world cities and their surrounding areas, regardless of state or country. This is a repository for a bit of code to make that real. I’ve decided to use Amazon S3 to host files, and EC2 to do the extracting. extract.sh is a script that performs the actual work with Osmosis and terminates its host machine upon completion.

To use Extractotron yourself, use run-instance.py:

python run-instance.py <your AWS access key> <your AWS secret> <your bucket name>

By default, run-instance.py instantiates an m1.large instance with Alestic's Ubuntu 11.04 Natty instance-store AMI ami-68ad5201. You can change the instance type or AMI, see python run-instance.py --help for details.

Currently, the cities list is very short. Help me expand it by modifying cities.txt and sending a pull request via Github.
