FYI, for those in the Ottawa area. You might not be on the osgeo mailing list, but there is interest in OpenStreetMap, so it would be great to share ideas.
Ideally, a solution is to work towards converting source data into xml/osm format, and making the data simply 'available', so then those want to mix data with other projects are welcome to. Once geo-data is stored in a standard format, more applications can use it. ie. Garmin Map, Maperative. cheers, sam ps. just contact Scott if your planning on attending. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Scott Mitchell <smi...@me.com> Date: Mon, 13 Sep 2010 10:43:15 -0400 Subject: [Ottawa_users] Meeting reminder - this Thursday, Fox and Feather To: Ottawa Chapter OSGEO <ottawa_us...@lists.osgeo.org> A quick reminder that our next meeting is this Thursday, the 16th, starting at 6. Reservation at our usual venue (Fox and Feather pub) is confirmed, and they say they'll give us one of the small rooms. Lately this has sometimes meant they switch us to a different small room, so if you don't find the group easily, just ask the staff where the "OSGEO" reservation is (they also have my name on the reservation). I'm hoping that some of you that went to Barcelona can tell us all about the FOSS4G conference. The other main thing to cover is succession planning - I need someone to take over my spot as co-Chair of the group. Really, it's not that hard! I just have too many scheduling conflicts this year to be able to keep it up.
