This is a very valuable opportunity, as it would allow to build ties with them, which could lead them to share their GPX with us for mapping. This in turn would help the French OSM community, who are now not even allowed to map GR routes from surveys. Politics aside, GR people are an excellent recruiting ground, as they are interested in maps and have a passion for paths and routes.</div><div><br></div><div>One little detail: their weekend is exactly when the State of the Map is in Brussels. So most people who could go to a thing like this will be there.</div><div><br></div><div>If you have been waiting for an opportunity to get more involved in OSM-be, this is it!</div><div><br></div><div>Below the original message.

Il se tiendra cette année le 24 et 25 septembre à l'Auberge de Jeunesse de Namur.</div><div>Y participent des baliseurs GR, la plupart des actifs dans l'asbl SGR ainsi que des membres et autres intéressés à nous rencontrer.</div><div>Le week-end est consacré à des randonnées, mais aussi à des séances d'informations lorsque c'est possible.</div><div>Je me suis dit que ce serait sans doute une bonne chose d'avoir à cette occasion une séance consacrée à l'OSM. J'ai l'impression que c'est un projet assez mal connu du grand public et que ce serait bien dans le cadre d'une organisation telle que ce WE de présenter ce projet à un public potentiellement intéressé.</div><div>Si cela vous intéresse, faites-moi signe que l'on prévoit votre intervention dans le programme du week-end.</div></div><div>From: Jean-Pierre Beeckman <<a href="mailto:president@grsentiers.org" target="_blank">president@grsentiers.org</a>><br></div><div><br></div><div>Mathieu,</div><div>If no-one steps forward, I'd suggest you send them a counter-invitation to State of the Map :)</div><div>(and explain that's why it's quite hard to find someone)</div><div><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">-- <br><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr">Joost @</div><div dir="ltr"><a href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/joost%20schouppe/" target="_blank">Openstreetmap</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/joostjakob" target="_blank">Twitter</a> | <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/pub/joost-schouppe/48/939/603" target="_blank">Link<wbr>edIn</a> | <a href="http://www.meetup.com/OpenStreetMap-Belgium/members/97979802/" target="_blank">Meetup</a></div></div></div></div></div><div><br></div>-- <br><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr">Joost @</div><div dir="ltr"><a href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/joost%20schouppe/" target="_blank">Openstreetmap</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/joostjakob" target="_blank">Twitter</a> | <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/pub/joost-schouppe/48/939/603" target="_blank">Link<wbr>edIn</a> | <a href="http://www.meetup.com/OpenStreetMap-Belgium/members/97979802/" target="_blank">Meetup</a></div></div></div></div></div></div>
