[OSM-talk-be] Workshop Trage Wegen

[Wouter Hamelinck]

The workshop will take place at the city hall in Haaltert. We will
start at 10. The plan is to start with an introduction to OSM (those
people have possibly never heard about OSM). After that the tracking
starts and in the afternoon, we can do the actual mapping not yet a
definitive schedule for that. It will probably depend on the weather.
