<div dir="ltr">Hi Jo,<div><br></div><div>I have heard a lot about you from Noël and from Pieter from De Lijn but they never succeeded in giving me your full name ;). From the moment I have the data under the right license I will reply here again. With iRail we have been publishing some geospatial data on <a href="http://data.iRail.be">data.iRail.be</a> but these data need a lot of fixing still.</div>
<div><br></div><div>Just to be able to convince Tourism Flanders that this is a useful thing to do, is anyone willing to join us for a day or 2 days Random Hacks of Kindness? They have a lot of more Geospatial data that I would like to get in the open.</div>

As soon as they do, give us a sign. I have a script to do quality control on the node networks. This can be expanded quite easily to compare to an upstream source. Noël is also the person who has helped with getting permission to publish the data from De Lijn.<br>
I'm gaining a lot of experience with PostGIS and QGIS lately, so time permitting it shouldn't be too hard to get all of our routes in synch with their data.<br>Now I should go and have another look at the Urbis data... but maybe I'm trying to juggle too many balls at the moment.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>

<div><br></div><div>The first and the second of June we have teamed up with Random Hacks of Kindness to hack something for humanity. We have been in contact with the Flemish tourism organisation and they are thinking about doing open data with the bicycle routes, hiking routes and horseback riding paths. I have asked them about the difference with OSM, and they said the data in OSM is not at all up to date. How about making an effort at RHoK to use these data and feed them into OSM? We could then use a lot of existing apps on top of bicycle maps and show them how cool open data is :)</div>
