I think we found a good location - taverne Stadspark - but I still have to check there. It has wifi available and is well located between town center and the areas with most work - schorvoort - parkwijk - zevendonk.<br><br>
We are also thinking of 'spreading the news' quite large in the hope to attrackt some new people that might be able to contribute to OSM in the -large- area of Turnhout. So we hope to have a lot of people there... including new ones.<br>
<br>Network connections would not be a problem though. One connection can be multiplied... at home we have 10 connections, only use one, and multiply that 2 times to around 250... ;-)<br><br>I'll check on the 'stadspark' possibilities this afternoon. It only opens at 11, but as we change the clock to summertime that morning I guess most people won't mind we do not start at 9...<br>

Hi all,<br>
<br>
I've been lurking on this list for a while now, wanted to start<br>
mapping, but never completely figured out how to do all of it.<br>
I still have to check with my wife (since she's my agenda), but<br>
possibly I could attend the party.<br>
<br>
If there is no location yet, since I'm from Oud-Turnhout I could also<br>
host the party.<br>
I have one practical problem:<br>
my ADSL modem/wireless router is such a Philips-Belgacom thing that<br>
only allows 3 connections. That could be a problem of course.<br>
<br>
If I look at the Doodle, Sunday 28 March would the best day?<br>
<br>
