<div dir="ltr">Hi James,<div><br></div><div>It looks like some good progress is being made on the tasks.<div><br></div><div>Tasks #22 and #23 are focused on mapping different features but it looks like #24 overlaps in focus. Perhaps that task should be archived until the other two are completed to avoid confusion among newcomers to the site?</div><div><br></div><div>Task #23 only provides minimal instructions (<i>Add address data via GeoBase. Add missing Roads and Street names.</i>). Would more people feel comfortable contributing if detailed instructions were included? It seemed the task is referring to the dataset described here: <a href="http://ftp2.cits.rncan.gc.ca/pub/geobase/official/nrn_rrn/doc/NRN.pdf" target="_blank">http://ftp2.cits.rncan.gc.ca/pub/geobase/official/nrn_rrn/doc/NRN.pdf</a> Is the Canada open government licence compatible with OSM?</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks and all the best,</div><div><br></div><div>Dan</div><div><br></div></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, May 13, 2016 at 2:21 PM, James <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:james2432@gmail.com" target="_blank">james2432@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">What exactly do you need of me?

Staff has been very busy but we're ramping up and exploring options for how to leverage different tools and data sources to support the Red Cross operations. The focus is on the evacuees, many of which have dispersed to distant locations around the country. When residents are allowed to return to the town and longer-term recovery activities become a priority, I foresee having an excellent OSM base layer as being a valuable asset. Both for facilitating operational decisions, and demonstrating the power of the OSM community and easily accessible geo-data with an open license! </div><div><br></div><div>I would love to connect with those involved in coordinating the current tasks up on <a href="http://tasks.osmcanada.ca/" target="_blank">http://tasks.osmcanada.ca/</a>.
