[OSM-talk-be] Intro and invitation to Random Hacks of Kindness

[Ben Abelshausen]

Hi,

We just registered for the event. Let me know if anyone else will be
there...

I'm not sure what we can implement there because the suggestions here are a
huge amount for work.

@pieter: who is your contact at AGIV? I was talking to Tom Van Herck and
they seemed eager to release some of their data.

Met vriendelijke groeten,
Best regards,
