[Talk-ca] Catch up
I just joined OSM today. Was so excited I jumped in the car immediately and started making traces and uploading them. I was also excited to see that OSM is working on an import of the GeoBase information. Can someone point me in the right direction as to where I can catch up on what is involved in this process? What formats are coming out of GeoBase? I have some programming experience and would love to help out on that end if needed. I live in Saskatchewan, but have lived in Alberta and BC as well.

I live in the west central part of Saskatchewan. Kindersley is the name of the town. I do IT for my job and it involves me driving all over the place.

Re: [Talk-ca] Canvec.osm Product - Running!
Awesome, does this mean we are going to see a more complete map in SK? I must apologize as I haven't been paying as much attention to the list of late. I tried to work with some of the data in some months ago in JOSM for learning purposes with the eventual goal of helping with the import. I didn't really get anywhere with it. I think i managed to create a black hole in JOSM. I assume there will still need to be a lot of editing to connect up the existing data with the new data once the import is done as well as road name/type corrections? Sorry I am obviously a bit of a noob still and am only now interested when I hear the province that I live in mentioned.
