[OSM-talk-be] Fwd: [OSM-talk-fr] StreetView?

[Julien Fastré]

Hi everybody,

I am a bit tired to see

 - the media talking about the problem of privacy ;
 - some institutions (I am thinking to the mayor of Brussels, and "tourism
brussels") happy to promote their service /via/ StreetView;

And all those things without mentioning the alternative (including OSM).

I think we should react.

It is time to make speaking about osm with some regional and federal MP. We
should make contact with some of them, and give them arguments. Some MP
should make interpellation with the theme "you are going to rely on private
companies to promote tourism in our region, why don't you use free and
opensource tools ?"
