<div dir="ltr">- I'm willing to help with one mapping party/presentation every 2 months or so. The one in Brussels is my next appointment.<div>- I could try to write some texts for <a href="http://osm.be">osm.be</a> on stuff that I do (e.g. middelheim, rose garden, heritage) similar to the presentation on OpenBelgium when that is useful to show what one can do with OSM.</div><div>- I'm willing to send an email to the province for the Atlas v/d buurtwegen (just give me the text :-) )</div><div>- I've contacted an ex-colleague who used drupal for some project (website of a dogschool). I asked him whether he would be willing to upgrade the and improve the infrastructure. </div><div><br></div><div>I'm not the organising type, so I won't organise meetups, mapping parties, etc. but as said before I'm willing to help with the technical part.</div><div><br></div><div>regards</div><div><br></div><div>m.</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Mar 5, 2015 at 10:20 AM, Ben Abelshausen <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:ben.abelshausen@gmail.com" target="_blank">ben.abelshausen@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div><div><div>Hi,<br><br></div>Glenn asked to elaborate on the todo-list:<br><br></div><div>Mapping parties/meetups: We need more of this!<br></div><div><br><div>- Helping Nicolas with the mapping party: You can help him by advertising showing up of just email him and ask him what you can do: <a href="mailto:nicolas@pettiaux.be" target="_blank">nicolas@pettiaux.be</a> and more information is here: <a href="http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Belgium/Activities#Invitation_.C3.A0_une_Cartopartie_.5B1.5D_.C3.A0_Bruxelles_-_Samedi_25_Avril_2015.2C_9h_.C3.A0_13h" target="_blank">http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/WikiProject_Belgium/Activities#Invitation_.C3.A0_une_Cartopartie_.5B1.5D_.C3.A0_Bruxelles_-_Samedi_25_Avril_2015.2C_9h_.C3.A0_13h</a><br></div><div>- Organize a local meetup: Not very difficult just go and sit somewhere and wait for people to show up. We have noticed that this gets people more involved and communication improves.<br></div><div>- Organize a mapping party: A very good idea!<br>- West-Vlaanderen community-contact-person: We need someone (preferable
from WVL) that can communicate with me and local orgs like westtoer to
organize a couple of mapping parties. Workload is very low except when
it's about to happen (the mapping party that is).<br><br></div><div>Other TODO's:<br><br></div><div>- Website improvements: I think our website looks like ****. We urgently need some work on this. We also need someone to update drupal or move to another platform (less maintenance), and setup proper multilingual support.</div><div>-
Communication, for example, weekly OSM and managing the
twitter-account/facebook group a bit better... ;-) Also a FR-speaking
volunteer would help a lot.<br></div>- Emailing to your province about the 'Atlas der Buurtwegen': The rights to the maps are at provincial level. We need to contact each province individually and ask them (each and every one) to release the maps for use in OSM. This is an important issue because in the past it has been assumed free and open but these maps are NOT!<br></div>- Local Chapter: I want to submit a proposal to become a local chapter of OSMF. Anyone willing to help with some of the administration and reading the procedure, contacting Paul Norman, etc...<br><br></div><div>Some of these may seem strange and you could say that we should all just stick to mapping but I think these actions can improve our community and give more visibility to OSM.<br><br></div><div>Cheers,<br><br></div><div>Ben<br></div></div>
