Hi Daniel, cc:talk-ca discussion list. & Steve Coast, founder OpenStreetMap Foundation & the main discussion list talk@openstreetmap.org
On behalf of the OpenStreetMap community in Canada, and as the main coordinator who is working with this data. We want to express our sincere gratidude & appreciation of Natural Resources Canada - for providing us with access to the ftp server in order to store the converted canvec shp files into the OSM format, as this will MOST CERTAINLY be of great benifit to the community. A special thanks goes out to the entire OSM Community, as you all had a part in making this happen. & to Ian Dees who made the conversion program (that is used to convert the files with shp-to-osm.jar) Sincerely, Sam Vekemans OSM Canada Contributor, import coordinator, & developer of the conversion program canvec2osm /canvec-to-osm On 10/22/09, Bégin, Daniel <daniel.be...@rncan-nrcan.gc.ca> wrote: > Hi folks, > > > > I read a few weeks ago that you were seeking an ftp site to upload/download > Canvec files in Osm format.
