Sam was replying to an off-list message, so here's the wiki link: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Vancouver/July2010 Once we have a location figured out, I'm going to add the event to the calendar of events on the OSM wiki main page. Anybody know a good place to go? Got any connections?

Re: [Talk-ca] CANVEC data for Ottawa
P.S. Feel free to jump on the #osm-ca IRC chat on oftc.net irc://irc.oftc.net/#osm-ca we now have 11 people online :) ... mostly from Canada I use Pidgin Messenger, i find it's the easist. This way, others who are working on the data will know who is working where :) ... and we're all in the same boat, figuring out the best methods.

Re: [Talk-ca] CANVEC data for Ottawa
One word of caution on Canvec: at least for streams and lakes, I found that NHN has better data around the area where I live. Before copying these from Canvec, I'd advise checking NHN for the area.

Re: [Talk-ca] CANVEC data for Ottawa
Do you have an idiot guide on how to do this? I've picked up Pidgin so I assume its just a matter of getting an account somewhere? The Canvec OSM data looks extremely good.

Re: [Talk-ca] Fwd: Wiki page on meetup
If we want a location really close to the OSGeo meeting, we could go to Waves at 1198 W Pender Street. Free WiFi, probably a lot of power outlets.

Re: [Talk-ca] Fwd: Wiki page on meetup
1198 W Pender is around the intersection of Bute and Pender. The OSGeo meeting is at 1177 W Hastings (1 street over and 11 address parcels down). They're about 200 meters apart. Have you been there before Alan? Are they accepting of large crowds gathering for 2 hours? My list of people to email is around 50 and I'm hoping for 5 or 6 to show up. I'm sure some of us would buy drinks, of course...

Re: [Talk-ca] CANVEC data for Ottawa
http://stfu.blogs.ablenet.org/100/how_to_connect_to_irc_with_pidgin_gaim The server you want is irc.oftc.net Once you are on the server, you can type /join #osm-ca to join the channel. There's not really an account managing system that you have to sign up with. OFTC does have nickserv support, but it's optional (I think).

Re: [Talk-ca] Fwd: Wiki page on meetup
I haven't been to that one, but all the other Waves locations have no problem with large groups camping out for extended periods. I don't spend much time in that area, so maybe there are better options? Alan On Jul 17, 2010, at 2:30 PM, Adam Dunn wrote: > 1198 W Pender is around the intersection of Bute and Pender.
