[Talk-ca] [AtlanticCanada] Introduction

[Gregory]

Sam, you start with discussing the types of people in the communities
(professional or hobby GIS interests) and then you bring licenses into it.
Yes you can probably draw differences, but I know there are plenty of
OpenStreetMap people who are GIS professionals, people who frequently wear
shirts & ties, and even some people who don't like going to pubs but still
attend or help organise meet-ups (maybe not the ones in pubs). I don't see
what that has to do with licenses.

I also don't get what point you're trying to make, or what you want to
discuss/investigate. Unless you are only trying to get this card

OpenStreetMap is a (relatively specific/single) project. OSGeo "is to
encourage the use and collaborative development of community-led projects"
so it is working with many projects it takes or it births under it's wings.

We both get along with each other (as demonstrated by Teresa posting above).
Even if we don't officially have joint events, various people can and do
attend each others events or other geo events.

On the talk of 'free', this needs to be qualified with a definition of the
word, as suggested already. Many people I talk to consider Google Maps to be
free, and I am happy for theem to do so. I could even define 'free' so that
Ordnance Survey is included.

So could you clarify what your question or comment is in one sentence
please. Or just stop trolling and I'll get back to my work/mapping.
