[talk-au] Microsoft Australian building footprints

[Daniel O'Connor]

Hi folks,
I was wondering how mapbox had coverage of areas that hadn't been traced
into OSM; and after a bit of digging came across this ODBL data:
https://github.com/microsoft/AustraliaBuildingFootprints

As fun as hand tracing data is; I'd be pretty keen to swap to small scale
imports of this, suburb by suburb in my area.

https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Microsoft_Building_Footprint_Data
details the data in more general terms, and links to a few import proposals.

Anyone feel like exploring and validating the quality of the data in their
areas?
