Bonjour Bjenk
Les contributeurs de certains pays ont des organisations plus structurées, ce
qui n'est pas le cas au Canada.
La coordination des contributeurs canadiens se fait via cette liste-ci (ie.
discussion et coordonnation) et via divers groupes locaux tels Ottawa, Toronto,
Montréal, Québec, etc.
Le mieux est de présenter vos projets sur la liste et inviter les groupes
intéressés à vous contacter.
Les contributeurs s'intéressent à diverses problématiques et pourraient par
exemple vous proposer d'intégrer des informations relatives aux types d'accès
aux immeubles publics par les handicapés.

I don't think there is such a thing on talk-ca.

Dear members of the Board of Directors, My name is Bjenk Ellefsen. I am working
for the Data Exploration and Integration Lab at Statistics Canada. I am
writing to inform you that earlier this month, Statistics Canada initiated a
two-year pilot project aimed at understanding the potential of data
crowdsourcing for statistical purposes. We are planning to use OpenStreetMap
as a platform for inviting contributors to crowdsource information on
non-residential buildings (footprints, addresses and simple building
attributes). The pilot project will focus on the Ottawa-Gatineau region. We
have assembled a multi-disciplinary project team, which includes people from
five divisions of Statistics Canada and also from the municipalities of Ottawa
and Gatineau. In November of last year, my chief, Alessandro Alasia, spoke
with Paul Norman. At that time, we were exploring the idea of crowdsourcing. We
have done quite a lot of background research and planning since then (although
much learning remains to be done).The preliminary idea has evolved in a proof
of concept proposal and, from there, into the current project. Earlier this
month we held a first meeting/conference call with the local (Canada/Ottawa)
OSM community. We hope to strengthen these ties further in the coming months by
engaging the OSM community through Talk-ca. This pilot project is a major
innovative undertaking for our Agency. There are a multitude of aspects that we
need to assess and learn about (including the IT dimension, communications,
legal aspects, etc.). For this reason, there is also a lot of excitement about
the project and much curiosity from senior management. We know that
crowdsourcing is a reality but, as far as I know, there has been no other
attempt to assess its potential from the perspectiveof a national statistical
office. One of our Assistant Chief Statisticians, in particular, who is
championing the innovation projects at Statistics Canada, has a keen interest
in this project. At some point, we would like to have an “institutional”
meeting between Statistics Canada andOSM (although I am not quite sure in which
shape and form this can take place). I am open to your suggestions. I am
copying my colleague Bjenk Ellefsen, who is part of our team and who will
follow-up on most of the communication with the OSM community on Talk-Ca. I
look forward to hearing from you and to engaging the OSM community on this
project. I will soon write more about the project! Regards, Bjenk Ellefsen,
