Hi all, Hereby I would like to announce the Canvec Import Party, which will be held in Sherbrooke, Québec, on December 5th. It has been referred to as the "couch mapping party", but at the intended location there are no couches available ;) The location is a computer lab at the University of Sherbrooke, so it is not strictly necessary to bring your own gear.
We'll mostly talk about the import of Canvec data into OSM, in which we'll put the discussed approach(es) to practice. Attention will be given to things like the process, tools, etc. Furthermore we'll spend some time on the remainder of the NRN import, as well as maintenance aspects. It would also be good to evaluate the topic of attribution. We'll try to make a connection via Skype available, so people who are not able to attend, can still follow the proceedings over the Internet. Details: Agenda OSM meeting Sherbrooke - Couch(less?) Mapping Party / Canvec Import Party When: Saturday December 5th, 2009, 10:00-16:00 Where: Université de Sherbrooke (exact location to be confirmed) Location: http://osm.org/go/ck...@hy Topics: - Geobase NRN import - Using JOSM + Validator plugin - Lunch - Canvec import - Process - Tools - Conversion script - Challenges - Import - Finetuning of import process - Further imports - Geobase NHN - 5-à-7 ? So, if you happen to be in the neighborhood and want to say hi, or you definitely want to be present at the hot zone of the Canvec import, please let Michel, Yves and/or me know that you're coming.
