Re: [Talk-ca] Vancouver - south fraser perimeter road
Just drove that area hours ago. Still lots to do from look of all the workers, big changes coming soon. Will change traffic patterns in the whole region.

Help, translation please ? I have connections with a French speaking Canadian, I will forward this to him. Russ, help with translation ? Perhaps we can develop this mapping in both languages ?

Bonjour, J'en prends note et je supporte sans égard tous les efforts de NRCAN pour la libéralisation des données au Canada, par contre cela n'a pas eu l'impact escompté sur les administrations publiques (ex. municipalités, ministères, entreprise, etc.) au Québec. Ma réponse à Michel serait la suivante : suite au débat dans l'OSGeo-Qc, il y a eu plus d'une dizaine de réponses / questions en moins de deux jours qui ont été envoyées sur la liste OSGeo-Qc : http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/quebec/2010-March/000276.html Un projet de "coopérative" a même émergé. Cela marque un intérêt fort dans la communauté à trouver une solution au retard québécois (est-ce la même chose dans les régions francophones canadiennes à l'extérieur du Québec ???) et de s'organiser le plus tôt possible. Ce ne sont pas des efforts de traductions qui est le réel besoin québécois ou un simple site openstreetmap.ca traduit en français, mais une structure assez collée à la réalité pour pallier au problème du "corporatisme" spécifique au Québec. Il ne s'agit pas d'une question de langue ici ou de dédoubler les choses avec osm-ca (j'ai été assez clair dans mes interventions sur la liste osgeo à ce sujet pour ne pas dédoubler les efforts). Je crois qu'un accès à un serveur avec une page d'accueil osm-qc disponible pour toutes municipalités, OSBL, ministère, entreprise ou organisme pour verser des données libres pour potentiellement les transférer par la suite dans OSM est un point de départ. Je crois qu'à partir des messages que je vois passer provenant d'osm-ca et mes connaissances des projets "Open Data" au Canada, les provinces à l'extérieur du Québec sont hautement plus avancées en terme de libéralisation des données. Le Québec a un recul très spécifique et pour le rattraper, je crois que les idées qui sont ressorties des échanges au sein de l'OSGeo-Qc doivent être poussées au sein de l'OSGeo-Qc, comme l'OSGeo-fr tente actuellement de le faire : http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/francophone/2010-March/002408.html J'invite tous les membres de la liste osm-ca de venir en discuter au Rendez-Vous OSGeo-Québec en juin 2010 à Saguenay : http://rendez-vous-osgeo-qc.org/2010/ Au plaisir d'avoir de vos nouvelles, Nicolas Le 27 mars 2010 07:46, Michel Gilbert a écrit : Bonjour, Je suis surpris de tes conclusions soient aussi rapides. To courriel sur osgeo-qc est apparu hier. Quatre personnes ont répondu à ton message jusqu'à maintenant; c'est ce que tu appelles beaucoup ? Je participe à l'OSM depuis 3 ans, sans avoir utilisé openstreetmap.ca. Le domaine principal combiné au talk-ca sont suffisants pour faire passer l'information considérant les ressources disponibles. Je ne vois comment on maintiendrait un niveau supplémentaire d'information. Tes efforts de traduction por le domaine openstreetmap.ca est un bon exemple qu'il est difficile de maintenir trop de sites. Je trouve que c'est d'encourager la diluation des efforts. L'implication du Québec dans l'OSM est comparable à celui du reste du Canada. Personnellement, je trouve la couverture du territoire est encourageante. De plus, l'initiative GéoBase/CanVec entreprise et future (canvec.osm) apportera une contribution importante. Mettons nos efforts à amener nos organisations à participer au projet, c'est à mon sens une façon concrète et mesurable de participer.

Re: [Talk-ca] FW: Welcome to MyTTC!
Thank you for the prompt response and sharing of your knowledge. railway could have several sub catagories. heritage routes, current operating frieght rail, possible proposed routes current passenger rail - surface and separated, elevated, grade separated, automated proposed passenger rail routes. in above sub catagories. Will come back to computer tomorrow night, hope others can help me put this together.

Hi, Nice ideas :) I wish Victoria, BC would have not dug up the old street-car line and paved it into a road. It would be great to see a rail line that isn't just a tourist train going 2 times a day. ... 1 time per direction. Sorry i cant be of much help right now, directly to you, but hopefully others who are more local would help. :) (For the talk-ca@ discussion list) Hows 'railway=proposed'? As i dont think there are conflicting plans, dont see a problem with it being listed, and not physically connected. Another option is to draw it in as a GPS track (using bikemap.net or Garmin MapSource routable map) and just export that file for viewing overtop of Google earth with the openstreetmap KML layer turned on? (also, OpenOrienteringMap lets you draw on the map a route & print it as a PDF. Cheers, Sam On Sun, Mar 28, 2010 at 2:28 PM, Bob Bowles wrote: Total novice, just found your site, HELP !

Hey Bob, Are you just trying to compile the database?
