Hi Stephanie, Thank you for your interest in the OpenStreetMap project.
Glad to hear that York Region is publishing Open Data. Since York Region has published the data, and since you've told us about it, you've probably done everything that you need to do, now, as far as making the data available for OpenStreetMap contributors to consider it for inclusion in the OpenStreetMap database. The OpenStreetMap community has stringent guidelines around the inclusion of external data sources. Interested members of the community are now able to start that process of evaluating the license, and the data that you have brought to our attention. If those community members have any further questions, should they reach out to you here on the list, or by direct email? Also, there are twice-monthly events in Toronto that OpenStreetMap contributors, and map and data enthusiasts find interesting. Please join us at MappyHourTO, or #maptimeTO, some time. The schedule is kept online, here. http://www.meetup.com/OpenStreetMap-Toronto/ Best regards and happy mapping, Richard Please note that OpenStreetMap is a registered trade mark and is properly spelled "OpenStreetMap" - many capitals, and no spaces, because we are trying to map the many capitols of the World, and leave no gaps. :-) It's a common mistake to add spaces or drop the capitals. Don't feel bad about it. _______________________________________________ Talk-ca mailing list Talk-ca@openstreetmap.org https://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca
