Hi Michael Barabanov, (cc:talk-ca list.) Would you be able to process the Nanaimo tile 092g04 and 092f01?, you don't need to run road matcher, But it would be great to just have it available, and a link to it on the wiki. I'll process the CanVec Verson of the data areas, just to see it. (but not upload).
I think I'll try to meet Jason in person in the next couple of weeks, as this is GREAT news for OSM. :-) ... and there's also other mappers up island, so it would be good to have a mapping party then. Im just taking a look at the shape files now. Cool :) Technically, it looks easy to convert and import, and attach the right tags to it. At 1st glance on the city website, i don't see where it says "this data is free to use, and mess-up / modify change as much as you like, as long as you stick the 'came from ...' attribution tag somewhere, we'll be happy.". ... So of course, we follow the standard rules with any import :) I'm forwarding this to Richard Weait, as well as Corey Burger who will also be interested in learning about this. In efforts to talk to other cities about this. .... but fortunately for the OSM community, the cities will find us as the map gets better, and 'cause it's a win-win :) Cheers, Sam Vekemans Across Canada Trails ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: [email protected] Date: Tue, 14 Jul 2009 15:35:21 +0100 Subject: [OpenStreetMap] Jamie Popkin sent you a new message To: [email protected] *************************************************************************** * * * Please do not reply to this email. * * Use the OpenStreetMap web site to reply. * * * *************************************************************************** Hi geobase:acrosscanadatrails, Jamie Popkin has sent you a message through OpenStreetMap with the subject Re: Hi: == I agree Sam... It's a great step forward. We owe it all to Jason Birch who is head of department at the City of Nanaimo. A while back Time Magazine declared Nanaimo to be the "Google Capital of the World"( http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,1720932,00.html ). Which is all due to Jason's proactive and open approach to managing their spatial data. He has been trying to integrate their official centerlines into OSM for quite some time. Once he heard I'd being doing some work in the area he asked me if I was interested. All the city data is available for public download: http://www.nanaimo.ca/EN/main/departments/Engineering-Public-Works/4489/DigitalData.html Jamie == You can also read the message at http://www.openstreetmap.org/message/read/54926 and you can reply at http://www.openstreetmap.org/message/reply/54926 *************************************************************************** * * * Please do not reply to this email. * * Use the OpenStreetMap web site to reply. * * * *************************************************************************** -- Twitter: @Acrosscanada Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/sam.vekemans _______________________________________________ Talk-ca mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ca
