[Talk-ca] using image recognition to create building foot prints.

[john whelan]

 and I think I agree with Pierre the best approach would be to do it a step
at a time using experienced local resources.

We do need to engage with high schools and the Universities but it is
difficult with the resources available.  There is some material available
https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Education but it would need reviewing
to see if it is relevant to what is required.

We were exceptionally fortunate in Ottawa with the pilot and the resources
we had available but even there I wasn't certain we would be able to pull
it off.
