To add to what Sam said above about OSM meetup groups. The Canadian OSM community is still small enough that I know many of the mappers in my area. Since creating the Kitchener-Waterloo group last month, several regular mappers and even more folks new to OSM have joined. So your meetup is a way to meet other mappers and to Create New Mappers. And of course a way to share plans and information about mapper your area, participating in imports and using OSM data. The Toronto group tends to be more OSM regulars.
