Re: [Talk-ca] License upgrade readiness - contact and remapping

Richard, I am planning to contact some non-agreeing OSM users in my area. How easy is it for a non-agreeing OSM user to change to the new CT/ODbL? Will they be prompted to agree when they login to OSM? Or is there another link(s) that I should give them? Thanks, Bernie. -- Bernie

Hi All, There is a huge section in my area that have no user associated to it. Is there a way to retrieve the original user and contact them? It seems to be an import from an official data source, but there is no information on what it is. Yannick On 2012-01-11 15:44, Richard Weait wrote:

I've used several different templates. The current one takes a little research. I like to add the specific location they mapped, and when and a specific object. I hope that this reminds a mapper of their previous contribution and demonstrates something that interested them enough to put it into

vreimer seems to have touched a great deal of ways across Canada, which sparked the banning of his account quite a while ago. He is listed as being contacted, but we have never seen a response from this user, at least that I know of. I think we need to review this on an almost case by case
