Brussels is a great location for such a conference. The ULB campus has proven to be a great venue, look at FOSDEM, RMLL, Odoo (back when they were still OpenERP).<br></div></div></blockquote>indeed.<div><br></div><div>At the beginning of May, I have an appointment with the president of ULB and its administrator.</div><div><br></div><div>I proposed that ULB hosts RMLL. I am ready to propose that ULB hosts STOM. </div><div><br></div><div>Yes, definitively, SOTM-Belgium would be a good start, but with Fosdem and RMLL experiences, and enough people, I think we can definitively aim at SOTM. Now, we just need to build the file and enter a good proposal.</div><div><br></div><div>I'll meet soon ministers and try to get money for other projects related to free software, open access, open data. OSM is only the next step.</div><div><br></div><div>What about organising in the beginning of 2016 SOTM-Belgium to get some traction, and that during only a week-end (like Fosdem). We could advertise during Fosdem and also before at different local events.</div><div><br></div><div>Then we could go larger for a full blown SOTM at the beginning of September 2016.</div><div><br></div><div>What do you think of such a proposal ?</div><div><br></div><div>I am ready also to propose it to the team that is behind the organisation of the associalibre.be activity of free software for associations on April 24 (where you are all welcome).</div><div>And where Julien will come and hopefully help with the planned OSM activity.</div><div><br></div><div>Best regards,</div><div><br></div><div>Nicolas </div>
