[RNFdev] Fwd: [OSM-talk] Intro to OSM in Hamilton Ontario

[Sampson, David]

Hmmmm,,,

Definitely a good group to make a link with.

I am not know if going down to hamilton any time soon would be in the
schedule.... It's about 7 hours away.  If there was a conference and I
had a means then I am more than willing to attend.  This communications
might just have be through e-mail.

I will try to bridge the gap in the coming days.

I thought this would be of interest, it was a post to the main
OpenStreetMap list. I think we should come into contact with this group.
I think the OSM effort is really critical in the European context, but
creating raw road gps traces in Canada, when there are two publicly
available road network files, seems like a potential misallocation of
effort.

Dave, would you be willing to go to Hamilton and give a talk about the
RNF augmentation effort at some point?
