[Talk-ca] [montreal] Montreal Mapping Weekend
Hello, It has been a year I wanted to participate in a mapping weekend in Montreal, and I have now decided to organize one. I would like to know who's interested, and what you think of September 20-21. Following the Mapping Weekend Howto, I created a page with a 'cake' diagram to divide Montreal in manageable chunks: http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/Montreal_mapping_party I would like to start announcing the event end of next week, two months before the event. That should give plenty of time to reach the community at large. If you have any idea where to post this, please let me know. Please reply to the talk-ca@openstreetmap.org mailing-list, keeping the [montreal] tag in the subject, as I would otherwise not get your replies. Also, feel free to forward this mail to any person you think might be interested in participating! -- Nicolas Marchildon Tél: 514 578-4775 ___ Talk-ca mailing list Talk-ca@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk-ca

Allo, Je ne serais peut-être pas à montréal durant ce weekend. Mais autrement: bonne idée. A.

Here we go. Here's the French blog post announcing the event: http://techno.marchildon.net/2008/07/18/mapping-party-a-montreal/ I have changed the meeting place because Café L'ESCALIER opens only at 11AM and I want to meet at 10.

Sam & I got together for a bit of mapping around Victoria on Thurs night. We plan on having another party on the 31st.

Hi Richard, > > http://techno.marchildon.net/2008/07/18/mapping-party-a-montreal/ > > Wonderful news. I'm thrilled to see so much Canadian OSM activity. Great news indeed. I didn't know that. I just left a comment on Nicolas' page mentioning the Sherbrooke party. > Since Montreal, Sherbrooke and Hamilton (Ontario) are all looking at a > mapping party for the weekend of September 20th, perhaps we can make > this a Trans-Canada OSM Fiesta, or something? I'd also left a comment on the SQIL's site http://2007.sqil.info/fr/annonce-dates-sqil-2008 hoping to make a Québec national level event, but I would be thrilled if the event had instantiations from coast to coast. One event that could be used for leverage is the Software Freedom Day (Sep 20). Mapping one's own neighborhood is a pretty potent realization of the principles of free software especially that of sharing with one's neighbour. I was thinking yesterday that a mapping party would also be a prime example of applying the principle of "act locally, think globally". > > Jason, you have mentioned and an interest in a party in Alberta. > Richard D. you have Hamilton under control.

Since there is no scaling issues here (no central organization, just samll parties), anybody has ideas as to how to generate widespread interest in a giant mapping party and get some coverage in the news ? Maybe pointing the media towards other mapping parties that will occur before Sep 20 and mentioning Canada will be partying on Sep 20-21 too ?

Since Montreal, Sherbrooke and Hamilton (Ontario) are all looking at a mapping party for the weekend of September 20th, perhaps we can make this a Trans-Canada OSM Fiesta, or something? Jason, you have mentioned and an interest in a party in Alberta. Richard D. you have Hamilton under control. Yves is getting Sherbrooke going. Are any others interested in adding parties? This is exciting. Best regards, Richard ___ Talk-ca mailing list Talk-ca@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/talk-ca
