> Hi all,
>
> As Kenny announced some time ago, Trage Wegen vzw
> (http://www.tragewegen.be) will organise an OSM workshop. Since he
> can't be there, he asked on the list for others to take care of it,
> which has become me.
> Practically, the workshop will take place on June 18th in Haaltert.
> Details to follow.
> Anyone whishing to come is of course more than welcome.
>
> A few questions and remarks:
>
> * First of all, please try to avoid mapping in the Haaltert region the
> until that day. Now there remains a lot to be done (it is just out of
> the old good quality Google image area). For newcomers it is more fun
> if their work shows clearly on the map.
>
> * Since most of them will not know OSM I would like to start with a
> short presentation of OSM. Mainly the comparison with wikipedia and
> some images showing possibilities and growth of OSM. With some nice
> maps of course. Does such an introductory presentation exist and if
> yes can someone send it to me?
>
> * Since this is for Trage Wegen vzw, I would like a convention on how
> to map the numbers of buurtwegen/chemins vicinaux.
> Reasons why it should be mapped:
> - the numbers are an official reference, still used today (certainly
> for paths, not really for regular roads)
> - the data (especially the numbers) are available from an out of
> copyright source (Atlas der Buurtwegen/Atlas des Chemins Vicinaux
> dating from the 1840's), so a source that can be used. I do not
> express myself if the digitisations that are nowadays available on the
> websites of most provinces can be used, but the original atlas
> certainly can be used.
> There have been a few discussions a while ago, but as far as I
> remember inconclusive. I remember that someone proposed vicinal_ref.
> According to me a good suggestion for since it shows clearly what the
> origin of the reference is. It is of course not internationally
> recognised, which according to me is no problem since the whole
> buurtwegen/chemins vicinaux concept is national. Any problems if I
> would present this as the way to add those numbers?
>
> * If I remember well OSM-be has some loggers available for mapping
> parties and the like. I could not find a page on the wiki about it.
> Anyone has information? If they are available and could be used for
> the workshop, how can I get them. I am commuting between Ghent and
> Brussels so I can easily pick them up in any those two cities.
>
> * Any other suggestions?
