We will have a November meeting but no December meeting. Go to the Winter Coders social instead (check Calagator of details).
OSM Building import
We discussed this last at state of the Map in DC, but have not made progress because we took time off to organize FOSS4G. Details about what we are working on are here:
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Portland,_OR_Bldg_import
and
https://github.com/pdxosgeo/pdxbldgimport
Approx 80% + of the buildings are easily handled (one address per building etc),
