[Talk-ca] Local groups? Digest, Vol 130, Issue 4

[keith hartley]

I think Canada has some great invested mappers, and resources but we're
pretty far apart! We don't quite have the level of org like the US or
europe has.
As long as we can get the municipality on board with the proper license (IE
OGL 2.0) we can take them on - IE one person did Regina in a matter of days
once it was cleared.
