We did have the Vancouver meetup about 2 years ago (has it already been 2 years?). Unfortunately it wasn't enough for the genesis of a regular group.
I guess I wont get to be in a Vancouver osm group for a while since I will be moving up to Yellowknife in one week. Maybe somebody else lurking on this list is in Yellowknife (or visits Yellowknife on a regular basis when they aren't in a camp)? I'll still try to keep canvec and the upper Fraser valley in sync :) Adam On 2012-04-13, at 12:04, Paul Norman <[email protected]> wrote: >> From: Richard Weait [mailto:[email protected]] >> Subject: [Talk-ca] upcoming Canadian press coverage and your local group >> >> Dear all, >> >> I expect that OSM will be getting some press coverage in the Canadian >> media in the near future.
