[OSM-talk-be] OSM Birthday

[Julien Fastré]

I think it is wise to delay the event for a better organisation... We
should take time to prepare it.

I will be present if the event take place on a thursday or friday.

I think a covered place is better, like Gallerie de la Reine. But why
not on the Place de la Monnaie ?

According to me, there are two keys-moments: around midday (when
people are taking a lunch) and at the end of the day, as they walk to
the station. We should have a wifi-access, I think it will be
necessary !

Following my experience, we should propose to _do_ something to people
if we want them to interest to us: test a mapping, visiting the
website, etc. But we should avoid the sentence "may i speak to you
about something ?"..

My english is very bad... i am sorry.
