<br>
Hereby I would like to announce the Canvec Import Party, which will be<br>
held in Sherbrooke, Québec, on December 5th. It has been referred to as<br>
the "couch mapping party", but at the intended location there are no<br>
couches available ;) The location is a computer lab at the University of<br>
Sherbrooke, so it is not strictly necessary to bring your own gear.<br>
<br>
We'll mostly talk about the import of Canvec data into OSM, in which<br>
we'll put the discussed approach(es) to practice. Attention will be<br>
given to things like the process, tools, etc. Furthermore we'll spend<br>
some time on the remainder of the NRN import, as well as maintenance<br>
aspects. It would also be good to evaluate the topic of attribution.<br>
<br>
We'll try to make a connection via Skype available, so people who are<br>
not able to attend, can still follow the proceedings over the Internet.<br>
<br>
Details:<br>
