Re: [Talk-ca] Alberta? Quebec? BC? Where are you?
I've never attended an OSM local user group, but I assumed we were just looking for somewhere central that we can regularly meet, not someplace that necessarily needs the attention of a mapping party. But I'm flexible. I'll start messaging some of the active mappers in the area and see if they have any preferences as to where we should meet.

I am actually not aware of any mappers south of the Fraser. Metrotown itself looks decently mapped but it looks like a lot more could be mapped in the surrounding area. I commute between New West and either Richmond or UBC on weekdays, so pretty much anywhere in the Lower Mainland is an option for me. ___ Talk-ca mailing list Talk-ca@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca
Re: [Talk-ca] Alberta? Quebec? BC? Where are you?
Would a compromise location like Metrotown work for you mappers in New West, Tri-Cities and South of Fraser? I'm out at UBC and the westside of Vancouver, and I also feel too busy to organize a meetup, but I recognize we ought to start one anyway!

We all are busy on our mountain bikes in the trails. :) I'd be interested in a mappy hour in BC. I don't have the time to organize one. I know there are a few of us in the New West/Coquitlam area so something out this way might work. The other obvious location is downtown Vancouver. ___ Talk-ca mailing list Talk-ca@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca
[Talk-ca] Alberta? Quebec? BC? Where are you?
It is wonderful to see the increasing numbers of OSM groups in Canada. Fredericton, NB is the newest group to start, earlier this year, but who will be next? Will it be Vancouver, or do Van-OSMers just pop across to Seattle to get their Mappy Hour needs filled? Perhaps it will be Alberta, with a healthy competition between Calgary and Edmonton to see who can reach their tenth monthly meeting first? Or maybe Québec, but will it be Montréal, Québec or Sherbrooke? Do we have OSM contributors on Newfoundland? Or in the Territories? http://usergroups.openstreetmap.de/?zoom=4&lat=44.60611&lon=-95.29541&layers=B0T Why would I start a local OSM meeting? Because it is fun to learn more about maps and OSM and "stuff", and I learn something new at every OSM meeting. How can you start a local OSM meeting? some tips are here. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/OSM_User_Groups ___ Talk-ca mailing list Talk-ca@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca
