Hi Bruno,

Great initiative! I'll try to follow it, albeit not closely. Just about 
6000 km nowadays. ;) Will there be a mailing list or something? French 
is not an issue.


Regarding work in the area: have a look at residential areas which are 
built after 2009. Perhaps a couple of other roads have changed names in 
the meantime. Also the info from the RTC was released under an open data 
license a while back. Maybe it could be use to add more bus lines to 
Quebec City. And of course the Bing imagery in the area is great, which 
could be put to good use as well :)


There is also some work to be done to the Geobase roads which were 
imported in 2009 (by me or others). Those don't have names. It's still 
on my list to do something about it (by either copying the names from 
the latest Canvec roads, or replace them altogether if they aren't 
edited since the import), although I must admit that it has sunken to 
the bottom.


Anyways, it's great to hear that a real community is growing at last :) 
I wish you guys a lot of succes!


Frank

It was fun to hear Steve and John being interviewed by Louis.  The
overview of OpenStreetMap was really good.  And they gave a shoutout
to our Mappy Hour event tonight in Toronto.

We might need a bigger table at the pub tonight. :-)

Another try. :-)

I hear that Metro Morning has the OpenStreetMap spot scheduled for
0620H (again.  Third time's the charm?) Monday.

If you are near Toronto, you'll want to listen to the famous mappers
on the radio, then meet them later that same day, at Toronto Mappy
Hour.  :-)

The English spot has been rescheduled for this Thursday, tentatively I
guess, for Metro Morning (Toronto radio) at 6:20am.

Maybe they will run the English one tomorrow.  I know I was up and waiting for 
it @ 6:20AM, but all I heard was the Toronoto Traffic Report. :(

Dear All,

Looks like the English spot on Metro Morning was bumped by some story
about an imprisoned millionaire.

The first French spot appears to have run on schedule at 0720
