[Talk-ca] GeoBase and Canvec import tools

[Sam Vekemans]

Thats Cool,
the more types of conversion programs the better. (as long as were all
on the same page, were all good) :)

Would you be able to share the links to the .osm files your making?
What area are you working on?
What dataset(s) are you working on?

Thanks,
Sam
