[OSM-talk-be] FOSDEM

[Jo]

No worries Peter. I'm planning to show it in Lier. There is so much going
on at FOSDEM, one has to find a way to divide and conquer :-)

Ben, I hope the Hack weekend was productive!

The first week of July there will be another event around free software and
free content. The RMLL comes to Brussels this time! Usually it's somewhere
in France and last year it was in Switzerland. Too far away for me. But now
that it's nearby we should make sure we represent OSM there.

They would like we do a mapping party on the day for 'le grand public'.
I think we can do 1 or 2 presentations (introductory and more advanced) and
I think it's important we'll have a stand there as well. Maybe with 3 to 5
computers, so people can get some 'hands-on' experience.

And we need 'goodies', of course: T-shirts, but also anoraks/rain coats,
caps, high-viz vests. Cups, pens (muts/bonnet maybe for the die hard
mappers...) ?
Openstreetmap.fr is working on that, but I'm not entirely sure if they will
be with .fr or with .org then.

The first week of August there is the festival of Esperanza in Floreffe,
where OSM also has a presence, thanks to Pierre Willot.

Jo
