I'm guessing it's a joke. I was in Nanaimo last week, and I made a bunch of fixes there, including:
- taking care of copy-pasted Geobase ways that were overlapping pre-existing non-Geobase ones - adding oneway tags - connecting roads to each other - adding streams from NHN - mapping new trails/paths - connecting ferry routes to on-land ways - fixing some of abbreviated (and for some reason all-capital letters) street names - adding turn restrictions - and of course adding new POIs OTOH, there's still some time before Oct 3:) BTW I'll be in Victoria Oct 9-10. Michael. P.S. Guys, please use JOSM validator. And when you upload an edit, do pay attention to what the validator is trying to tell you. Sometimes it's false alarms, but more often that not it flags real issues.
