newer ones wouldn't be in the NRCAN data, and the like. If road names have
changed recently, they would also have to be corrected. Some buildings and

<DIV></DIV>Sorry about the delay. <BR><BR>Yes, you were right, David. The
OSM person from BC is not able to make it and as such, I don't really have
any presenters on the topic. I could do a short talk, but I think Richard
Weait's talk from FOSSLC's SummerCamp was much better. <BR><BR>Are people
interested in a mapping party? Everyone head out to a certain area
with maps from <A href="http://walking-papers.org"

area with wifi and update the map together. <BR>If anyone is interested in
the mapping party, let me know and I'll plan it for the end of the
month.<BR><BR>Cheers,<BR>Teresa<BR><BR>
