[Talk-ca] 092 canvec import-and poi mapping party - Vancouver - Nanaimo - Victoria

[Sam Vekemans]

Hi all,
im planning on hosting a series of mapping parties, for everyone in
the 092 - Vancouver island lower mainland region.
-during the last week of june.

Im thinking that there is no better way to celebrate Canada Day, than
to launch the virtual rocket called canvec2osm.
A slow and steady import, with a colaborative effort, where all
participating  mappers will all be aware of what others are doing at
the same time :)

What day is best for everyone?

I have 4 days available (monday to thursday, so i can get to Nanaimo
to meet if people cant get to the mainland, perhaps on the tuesday.
and maybe on the monday Victoria.

It would be great to get people from all over the region together at
the same time.

I think meeting in Vancouver, at the Central library would be best, as
i think it has wifi.
>From there, someone who knows the area well can recommend the best pub
for after.

It would be great to cover everything from newbie mapping to the finer
technical details of the CanVec import.
But mainly how to map trails of all uses, so people can get started right away.

I Look forward to hearing from everyone real soon.
