[Talk-ca] october 3rdish vancouver island meetup

[Sam Vekemans]

yup im serious :)
2 months is enough to get this little island done and a shining
example of what the rest of the country will be like :)


at the rate im going, just 1 tile per day, i'll have most of it done.
so as more people are helping,  it gets done faster.


note that it's just vancouver island.... the lower mainland is fa more
complex and will take longer.... we already have alot of the vistoria
area and cvrd mostly complete*.
complete enough that you can pick up any tourist map, and see at al
the detailed listedin the map are available in osm.


anyway, on irc adam mentione about the geobase nhn, we might be able
to create nts sized pieces of the waer basins, as it only effects this
side of the coast mountains.


and for statscan boundaries, waiting until october might be a good idea too.


and hey, with more peope working on just 1 tile per day, it'll all get
done in no tine :-)


cheers,
sam
