I think a presentation to introduce Openstreetmap would be very appropriate there. I guess my French is sufficient to present it, but I think it would be better if a native speaker would do it. I'm pretty sure parts of the presentation presented in Mons can be (re)used:<br>

<br>Are you going to ask the organisers if we can give a presentation and a present a stand?

Hi,<br>
<br>
I am also open to discuss on the opportunity to have a stand (and a
conference ? The level is not the same than FOSDEM...) at the
Walloon Event "rewics" in Charleroi, end of April.

There is so much going on at FOSDEM, one has to find a way to
divide and conquer :-)<br>
<br>
Ben, I hope the Hack weekend was productive!<br>
<br>
The first week of July there will be another event around free
software and free content. The RMLL comes to Brussels this time!
Usually it's somewhere in France and last year it was in
Switzerland. Too far away for me. But now that it's nearby we
should make sure we represent OSM there.<br>
<br>
They would like we do a mapping party on the day for 'le grand
public'.<br>
I think we can do 1 or 2 presentations (introductory and more
advanced) and I think it's important we'll have a stand there as
well. Maybe with 3 to 5 computers, so people can get some
'hands-on' experience.<br>
<br>
And we need 'goodies', of course: T-shirts, but also anoraks/rain
coats, caps, high-viz vests. Cups, pens (muts/bonnet maybe for the
die hard mappers...) ?<br>
Openstreetmap.fr is working on that, but I'm not entirely sure if
they will be with .fr or with .org then.<br>
<br>
The first week of August there is the festival of Esperanza in
Floreffe, where OSM also has a presence, thanks to Pierre Willot.<br>

<br>
I was, as usual, also planning to visit FOSDEM but decided to
go to the OSM London Hack Weekend (<a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/London_Hack_Weekend_Feb_2013" target="_blank">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/London_Hack_Weekend_Feb_2013</a>)
but I will be able to meet you all in Lier again. Hopefully a
lot of you will join because I still haven't met a lot of the
mappers on this list! <br>
<br>
My compliments to the organizers of the stand, maybe next year
I will be able to join!<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
<br>
Ben

Hi,<br>
<br>
I payed a little visit a couple of times to the stand.<br>
First estimates are there where between 5 and 7000
visitors there on saturday.<br>
So the project should have had 'some' exposure :).<br>
It was nice to have you guys at Fosdem.<br>
<br>
Also want to say sorry to Jo.<br>
He wanted to show me some stuff he had done, but
unfortunatly I didn't have the time.<br>
Hopefully I can find some time to join in Lier.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>

Hi,<br>
<br>
For your information some mappers, belgian and
french, were presents at FOSDEM to present OSM
in a stand.<br>
<br>
We had good contacts with people at FOSDEM. This
was a nice week-end ! A lot of contacts and
meetings.<br>
<br>
We were thinking that some question were very
accurate. The Jo's presence was helpful for
those questions. We should keep that in mind for
next year.<br>
<br>

Julien Fastré<br>
