[OSM-talk-be] Is somebody eager to give a presentation about Openstreetmap at the RMLL in Brussels in July?

Tue Feb 12 10:49:06 UTC 2013

The public is relatively mixed, probably more users of free software than
developers.
I think an introduction of the project, the principles behind it and some
basic tagging notions would be best. People with more advanced questions
can come over to the stand and get some personal attention there.

But if you want to give the presentation, it's really up to you what you
want to propose.

PS: Did I mention that it's going to be translated 'live' to French and
Dutch by students of translator's schools from Brussels? :-)
