Hi Matthew, It seems like an interesting idea. I've been travelling a bit lately, and I've found there's a lot of people out there who don't know about OSM where the platform is exactly what they need. Would a robust OSMCanada spread the Gospel beyond the cities? Would it seek to incorporate local GIS imports on the map with legal support and task management? Do we know what an incorporated OSMCanada would do that the informal association of really nice and diligent people can't do on their own? I won't be making SoTMUS this year, but I'd love to hear more about what your aims are with this venture, and the problems you and others believe (or know) it would solve through incorporation and (possibly?) sweet government handouts. I'm guessing that these are the questions you want to crunch out while you're at the gathering of interesting people. Best wishes and good luck with this endeavour, Brian
I hadn't heard of them and I'm in Ottawa but there again I'm not very sociable. I question why such a decision would be made out of the country? Does it matter if someone creates a not for profit Canadian corporation? I think it would have to change its name though there have been discussions recently about the use of OSM in names.
