Importing a coastline from CanVec to replace the PGS data is on my list to-do, but I don't see it happening before CanVec 9.0 since the current coastline model is broken on the west coast and it takes about an hour a tile when there's no other data to replace. ___ Talk-ca mailing list Talk-ca@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca

That depends where you are. Be sure to have the latest JOSM and install the licensedetails plugin and open the license details panel. You'll use license details a lot. Have a look at the OSMI license change layer for an overview. Zoom in to your normal mapping area. [1 Long link. Sorry] Once you load an area with JOSM, press the "license check" button. The plugin will go and get the license details info from the wfte server. If that info returns "too quickly" make sure you have no objects (or all objects) selected and try again. if you have only one object selected, the plugin will get only the details for that one object. Probably not what you hoped to do. Those license details will appear as red, orange or yellow halos around nodes and ways.

[Talk-ca] Save the date: Toronto Hack Weekend. March 17-18
Dear All, Save the date. We've got initial plans for a Toronto Hack Weekend March 17-18, 2012 (with additional meet and greet on Friday the 16th) Everything is TBD and uncofirmed, but please indicate your availability asap. We're trying to plan this around the limited availablility of a Very Special Guest. So don't miss this. What is an OpenStreetMap Hack Weekend? Hack weekends have a great history in OSM held most often in London (England). They are an opportunity for the most-technical or OSM enthusiasts to get together to 1) inspire each other 2) learn from each other 3) solve specific technical challenges. Technical challenges addressed at previous hack weekends include, new API versions[1], OSM internationalization[2], osm.org site performance improvements, and initial work on projects that became important OSM tools like Potlatch, search, nominatim, and many other improvements large and small. This is primarily a technical event with a large social component. Everyday mappers are welcome to attend the social portions of this event. The main event will be technical and you should be prepared to code.[3] :-) Potential schedule Friday night - Meet and greet, Mappy hour Saturday, Hack day one 10 - 13:30 Coffee and code. 13:30 - 14:30 Lunch 14:30 18:00 More code, less coffee 19:30 - ??? Dinner and Mappy hour Sunday, Hack day two 10 - 13:30 Coffee and code 13:30 - 14:30 Lupper 14:30 - ??? More code Probable highlights: Workshop: Introduction to the Rails Port (for new core committers) - 1/2 hour + Q&A This introduction will ease a capable programmer into being a valued contributor to the OSM core code base. Best regards, Richard [1] http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/2nd_International_OSM_Hack_Weekend_Nov_2008 [2] http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/London_Hack_Weekend_May_2009 [3] "code" in this case might include writing OSM rendering style sheets, or other non-mapping, technical tasks. ___ Talk-ca mailing list Talk-ca@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca
[Talk-ca] Clean up - natural coastline
Hello: I'm in the process of recreating non-ct data. Any gotchas that I should look out for in replacing coastline data. Pros and Cons of shorter ways. Does direction matter? How often is coastline data updated? Hope I keep every bodies feet dry and I don't damage something and find out next month that I messed up big time. Or don't bother "we" are working on that :-) Andrew aka Purple Mustang. ___ Talk-ca mailing list Talk-ca@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca

Basically, airspace is divided up into classes, some of which are restricted, and some aren't. I also suspect that balloons in general have their own restrictions. I would contact the local flying school, as they would have people that are fairly knowledgeable about the local situation and can explain it in laypeople's terms.
