Je suis d'accord avec une approche plus coordonnée.

le choix de l'acronyme OSMtl peut aussi porter confusion avec l'Orchestre
Symphonique de Montréal.

Un tel site peut sûrement être très utile pour la communauté OSM de Montréal. 
Il est cependant important que de telles actions soient coordonnées par la 
communauté de Montréal et Il faudra éviter par exemple qu'un tel site soit sous 
le contrôle d'une seule personne. 

À noter que plusieurs rendez-vous ont été reportés au cours des derniers mois. 
Espérons que les quelques initiatives récentes vont déboucher sur une 
communauté plus organisée à Montréal.  Il serait bon aussi de tenter à nouveau 
de réunir les contributeurs OSM et OSGeo-qc.

Re: [Talk-ca] Fwd: Canada Shape Files

2013-06-17 Thread Pierre Béland
Un autre format de fichier intéressant, les fichiers de diff osc.gz.  Ces 
fichiers contiennent l'historique des modifications effectuées pour une journée 
donnée (ie. objets ajoutés, modifiés, effacés). Ils peuvent être traités 
facilement avec le langage Python. Les parser OSM savent traiter ces fichiers.

On the contrary.  Thank you, Guillaume, for seeing something that needed to

[Talk-ca] Fwd: Canada Shape Files

2013-06-17 Thread Richard Weait
More nice stuff from Frederik.  He is now providing additional formats for
Canadian extracts of OpenStreetMap data.  If I remember correctly, these
are updated daily.  I have taken a quick look at
http://download.geofabrik.de/north-america/canada.html and found the
following:

For each province and territory:
- "stock" osm.xml extract
- osm extract in pbf format
- osm extract as a shape file

Thank you, Frederik!

Subject: Canada Shape Files

   I'm not on the Canadian talk list but if you think that this might be of
interest to readers, you could forward them the information that I have now
configured the Geofabrik download server to make OSM shape files available
for the Canadian provinces/territories (it used to only have OSM extracts
before).

As with the other shape files on the server, they are somewhat limited
because they don't have multipolygon support; this is due to the fact that
multipolygon processing requires a increased processing effort that we
can't afford on the download server at the moment. I'm looking into fixing
that in the future though.

Frederik
