Diane, you are involved in both OKFN and geoThink?  What is geoThink doing
to help repair the awful state of Canadian (government) Open Data?  The
proliferation of licenses, as seen on the geoThink site [1] and the mutual
incompatibility of those licenses as seen at clipol [2] is poisonous to
Open Data in Canada.  Canadian governments must publish open data under
ODC-PDDL. How will geoThink move towards this goal to repair (government)
Open Data in Canada?

Open Data in Canada is dying, because governments are killing it.  How is
geoThink moving to fix this?

Je peux aussi vous proposer, à titre d'ambassadrice (coordonnatrice) du

You might try GroupSpaces? The Fredericton OpenStreetMap group has used
GroupSpaces in past.  Perhaps the organizers will offer their thoughts.
