I've already added all those roads to Google, why do I want/have to do it all again for OSM, I'm bored of sitting in front of the computer. That's why it would be important to get to people first and explain that you can't use the map you make for Google as freely as you can use a map you make for OSM. But unless anyone can fly out there for a competing workshop or know friends out there, I think it's going to be hard to do anything about it. Of course, if they map for OSM they can map in First Nations languages as well and then use the maps in Inuktitut, Inuinnuqtun, French, English, and any other language of choice. Anybody know a motivated high school teacher in the North who wants to make a difference? ___ Talk-ca mailing list Talk-ca@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca
