This is very neat! I noticed it yesterday, but was too jetlagged from
XOXO to say anything.

In theory, yes, but please check with the city that they have all
third-party rights cleared in any data set you propose to import. As was
recently discussed on the Legal-talk list, OGL does not cover
third-party rights:

(This is something that Bjenk and the Stat Can team will need to take
seriously for any import data sets they wish to use)

cheers,
 Stewart

I thought it was quite quick as well.  Still it gave me something to do in
my retirement lobbying for it for the last few years.

[Talk-ca] Ottawa has changed its Open Data licence.

It should now be aligned with the Federal Government one so that should
mean we can import the GTFS bus stop file.

In Ottawa unlike some GTFS files the bus stops are very accurate, they
carefully recalibrated each one as part of the system for announcing bus
stops.

More importantly I can retagged the paths in Ottawa that the city has
tagged as bicycle=yes.

[Talk-ca] Crowdsourcing buildings with Statistics Canada - Outreach launch

[Ellefsen, Bjenk (STATCAN)]

Hello everyone,

We are launching the outreach tomorrow. Canadians will be made aware of the 
project.

As soon as the Webpage is live, I will add the link to the OSM Canada wiki in 
the section for the project.

This is giving us another month to work out some details. Do not hesitate to 
raise anything you might see so we can make some changes if it's possible.

I would like to start a wiki page for documentation that we can also link to. 
There was one that was started if I remember, I will have to go back in my 
messages.  Some of us are going to meet to discuss the import process for the 
footprints soon.

It's been very busy since my return from vacation so, I am sorry for the lack 
of updates recently!
