    Hi,<br>
    <br>
    good news from the walloon front : the strategic plan for geomatica
    was approved, and, following those who may read it, our request sent
    with OKFN were heard ! <br>
    <br>
    The minister Henry asked to the SPW (his administration) to set up
    all data from SPW as Open Data; they received a "green light" to do
    that. Politically, it seems to me something really new.<br>
    <br>
    Today and yesterday, there were meeting about the implementation of
    the plan. I could not go there (sorry, I am quite busy at the
    moment). <br>
    <br>
    I think we should get in contact with the next governement, in a few
    days (I hope we won't have to make new contacts again...)<br>

        Hi,<br>
        <br>
        With the great help of Philippe Duchesnes, we wrote a single an
        common review of the PSGW.<br>
        <br>
        Could you give us some comments before we send this ? Our
        deadline is very short (this monday, end afternoon - the initial

          Hi,<br>
          <br>
          Ben, Pieter,<br>
          <br>
          I do not have any opposition as joining OKFN and OSM opinion
          in one document. I thought it was more strategic to have two
          voices, but I am not sure this reasoning match with reality. <br>
          <br>
          I propose to write differently the chapter about "open source"
          in a way which is more pragmatic. I might do this at the
          beginning of the week.<br>
          <br>
          OK ? <br>
          <br>
          Or I delete this chapter completely ?<br>
          <br>
          @Jo: the permission to trace from WMS is included in our
          request to open data globally. I also have contacts which
          focus more on web services. But I will mention the
          persmissions of Brussels and Flanders (the advance of wallonie
          and brussels is a quite good arguments with our politics :-)
          ).<br>

              <div>Hi Julien,<br>
                <br>
                You mention we have permission to trace from Bing. In
                the mean time we have better imagery (higher resolution,
                more recent) in Flanders and Brussels provided by AGIV,
                which we are also allowed to trace. We also have
                permission to, if I understood correctly, to use their
                WMS (or is that CRAB) to trace/verify street names and
                house numbers.<br>
                <br>
              </div>
              Maybe the Region Wallonne can do one better by allowing us
              to trace/reuse building outlines :-) like in Brussels
              Region.<br>
              <div><br>

              <div>Open data and Open source are two orthogonal
                subjects, one can proces opendata with closed source
                software or closed data with open source software. We
                have a preference for software under free licenses, but
                everybody should be able/allowed to use whatever
                software they please and can afford as long as they
                comply with the licenses.<br>

                      I think it is pretty obvious that we would want to
                      promote usage of open-source as well but I think
                      this is something that is not the task of our
                      community.<br>
                      <br>
                      We can recommend using open-source tools but the
                      argument against opening data cannot ever be
                      'open-data is not possible because then we would
                      have to use open-source software'. I think we
                      should be very very clear that these two are
                      different. An excel document with nice juicy
                      open-data is still a good thing.<br>
                      <br>
                      But we can still recommend using open-source
                      tools, we just have to be careful about how this
                      is done in this document.<br>
                      <br>
                    </div>
                    <div>Also: We should be careful about positioning
                      the OSM project in Belgium as a project that wants
                      to collect/incorporate open-data sets. We are
                      about collecting data in the form of mapping the
                      world, not about collecting open-geo-data sets.
                      That was an argument for me to join everything
                      with OKFN into one document.<br>
