[Talk-ca] Community Conduct

[john whelan]

My expectation is the full City of Ottawa building foot print file will be
made available around the twelfth of January on their Open Data portal.
Although the formal decision has been made apparently they allow their
employees to take vacation from time to time hence the delay.  At which
point the image data from Carlton is no longer as attractive.

My suggestion from a practical point of view would be to stop using the
Carlton source, but since it is all City of Ottawa data and the City of
Ottawa have been very cooperative on their open data that we leave the
buildings that have been traced so far in the Map.  I honestly don't think
the City of Ottawa will be stomping all over us especially as effectively
the building foot prints will be made available in early January.
