[Talk-ca] SotM: State of Canada

[Richard Weait]

Hi All,

I'll be at SotM and am scheduled to give a "State of the Canadian map"
talk as I did last year.  It's a ten-minute time slot so I'll have to
speak quickly. ;-)  

The audience is international and packed with the big names in OSM.
I'll address the W5 of OSM in Canada.  

State of the map in Canada:
- Canada: location, dimensions, population.
- Compare 2008 and 2009
- GeoBase
- Import news and progress
- Import tools / RoadMatcher

I'd like to offer you all the opportunity to submit items for inclusion
in the presentation.  Do you have an item that you would like to have
considered for the presentation, a "Who, What, When, Where, Why or How"
of the Canadian OSM community or map?  If so please send it to me.  

Statistics and graphics are welcome.  Feel free to announce your
schedule for something that you plan to do with the imports.  

Please let me know if you have hosted a mapping party in Canada since
last July.  

And please, please, please, be sure to keep your import plans and
accomplishments up to date on
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Geobase_NRN_-_OSM_Map_Feature .

Best regards,
Richard
