<p dir="ltr">Hi,</p>
<p dir="ltr">After posting to the osgeo group, I got some feedback from Gael there. Apparently, Julien Fastree is involved, so that's good. Here's the feedback:</p>
<p dir="ltr">"<br>
Some information about our source, actually Dewey (a local association in brussels,<a href="http://dewey.be/dewey-maps/">http://dewey.be/dewey-maps/</a> ) have collect point information, this would be the major contribution; some of them could be usefull for NGO who work around this target thematic.</p>
<p dir="ltr">it is possible that local NGO could give certain of their resource.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The finality is to consolidate all this information’s and to perennialize it in a single source.</p>
<p dir="ltr">We are conscious of the constraint quality and will take care of it by supervising the various participants.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Julien Fastrée, will be there to draw the attention of the participants, but if other contributors are available they are welcome.<br>
"</p>
<p dir="ltr">Looks like a cool project, all hands welcome!</p>

<p dir="ltr">Some time back, Johan Van de Wauw wrote to this list to talk about mapping infrastructure for the homeless. Apparently, the group was very enthusiastic about OSM, as they are organizing a mapping party on the subject.</p>
<p dir="ltr">From what I heard, the idea is to take already collected information and share it with OSM. I do not know exactly how they will do this, if they know enough about tagging schemes and external data use etc. From what I understand, the idea is definitely not just doing a massive import, but doing it bit by bit.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Maybe Johan can clarify here, or you can ask Christophe Cloquet<a href="mailto:christophe@my-poppy.eu" target="_blank"> christophe@my-poppy.eu</a>. </p>
<p dir="ltr">The event will be February 27th, in Brussels. Registration is required:<br>

<p dir="ltr">Info als at the OSGeo wiki :<a href="https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/OSGeo-BE-Cartopartie_sans-abri_27.02.2016" target="_blank">https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/OSGeo-BE-Cartopartie_sans-abri_27.02.2016</a></p>
<p dir="ltr">Anyone is invited, but I can imagine that more experienced mappers could be quite helpful. </p>
<p dir="ltr">I would like to share this on our Meetup and Twitter accounts, but first I'd like to know more details about the event. </p>
