<p>Hello OpenStreetMapBE, Dries,</p>
<p>In a few weeks, a bootcamp from Hack Your Future is starting -
and they'll build upon OpenStreetMap!</p>
<p>For context: Hack Your Future is a program where refugees learn
to code in 6 months time. When they finish the lessons, a boot
camp is organized: a four week period where the students can
enroll and build a bigger project together - quite similar to an
Open Summer of Code project. This is all organized by Open
Knowledge Belgium and paid for by the Fondation Roi Boaudouin.</p>
<p>Dries, the coordinator of Open Knowledge Belgium wanted to build
a website promoting the 'Paalcampings'/'Aire de bivouac'/'bivouac
zones' and asked me to coach them. Depending on the number of
enrolling students, a second, technically similar project may be
set-up as well.</p>
<p>As I will be in Ghent, it would be cool to do a meetup, as this
could be an added value for the students if they want to meet more
of the community (and because it's been a while there was a meetup
in Ghent). Apart from a chance to see the projects they are
working on, it is a nice opportunity to plan the presentation
moment. This meetup is <b>monday 27th of januari, 17:00 - 19:00
in De Krook</b>. (De Krook closes at 19:00, we might rebase then
to a nearby pub or restaurant)<br>
</p>
<p>The last day of the bootcamp, <b>thursday 13th februari</b>, an
event is planned. The exact size and timing of the event is still
unclear, but there will be room for (at least) a table dedicated
to OpenStreetMap. More practical details about this event will be
shared with you in the coming week - but already mark the date.</p>
<p>If you have questions or ideas about what we can do, feel free to
let me know.<br>
