[OSM-talk-be] Openstreetmap Foundation: the Belgian Chapter

[Mark Van den Borre]

Hi all,

Some thoughts:

* Please define the goals of the organisation _very_ well.
* A dry run without the formal structure, but pretending to have them
may prove _very_ interesting when it comes to feasibility.
* A formal non-profit organisation where the core people can't blindly
trust each other won't fly. This does not mean there has to have been
lots of past physical contact. I haven't seen people like Ivo Van de
Maagdenberg or Peter Leemans very often, but I trust them 100% in this
kind of role.

I am not (yet) convinced of the added value of a formal non-profit.

Sincerely,

Mark
