The idea is to install the latest formal release of Mapserver and load the Australian OSM data set so that it can render images via WMS.
## Deliverables
Basically the goal is to create a server that generates map tiles (via WMS request) that look the same as (or at least very similar to) the maps generated through OSM. Once you finish I want to be able to tweak the map styles, so the .map files need to be detailed enough for me to change each feature type.
I will provide you with username/password to a linux server with SSH access.
Please install the latest formal release of mapserver

Load in OSM data for Australia

Create 2 map files to render map tiles through standard WMS requests
Mapfile 1) to look like mapnix
Mapfile 2) to look like cycle map
Feel free to use all open source tools
**Deliverables**
1) Please provide 2 urls that produce png map images of any location. 1 displaying the map in the same style as mapnix and the other like cycle maps (with contour lines). Map files to work at all zoom levels, and look very similar to OSM rendering.
2) provided a step by step guide (SSH command lines) so that I can update the data source from OSM.
3) provide me a basic tour of where things are located on the server (ie location of map files)
4) provide and example of a tweaked map file. eg make minor roads bright green and walking tracks yellow.
Thanks
Matt :)
