Hi All,<br><br>I have started the meetup group, in attempts to get more support for mapping,<br> <a href="http://www.meetup.com/OpenStreetMap-Vancouver-Island-Mappers/">http://www.meetup.com/OpenStreetMap-Vancouver-Island-Mappers/</a><br>
So there are 12 others who indicated interest.<br><br>However, as im busy with this Import Stuff, im kind of leaving the group hanging as im not really the best person to host a workshop at the moment. (but i'll be there on wednesday)<br>
<br>If anyone has an interest, please join in the group, and i'll set you up as an 'assistant co-host'. And take over the show :)<br><br>.... cause like some of you have already noticed. .. I have a tendency to talk about the Import. .. When thats not what the 'mapping party' is all about.<br>
<br>On a technical note: All the Road data for the island is already imported, with a little work needed in Nanaimo, and just about all the CanVec data is available (accept rivers & lakes) is already in OSM. (and the lower mainland is just about done too)<br>
<br>... i should be able to answer most of the questions... but basically, everything thats nailed to the ground needs to be mapped :-)<br><br>Cheers,<br>Sam<br><br clear="all">Twitter: @Acrosscanada<br>Blog: <a href="http://Acrosscanadatrails.blogspot.com">http://Acrosscanadatrails.blogspot.com</a><br>
