[OSM-talk-be] Westtoer / WVI

[Ruben Maes]

Yesterday Marc met with Westtoer (the touristic service in West-Flanders)
and WVI (the GIS coordinator of 54 of the 64 West-Flemish municipalities).

He didn't have the time to translate his notes, so I tried to translate
them into English from my understanding. If I misinterpreted, please
correct it!

I would like to thank Marc for his time and effort to do this. This
cooperation sounds really really interesting.

Westtoer really wants to start using OSM:

> - Steeds als basislaag. Hun servers en stijl
* They want it to be their default base layer, on their own servers and
with their own style.

> - Controle tools (op hun servers)
* They want to provide QA tools on their own servers.

> - Donatie van data, niet alles, bv. technische gegevens palen
wandelknooppunten niet
* They want to donate their data (not all of it though, e.g. not the
technical details of the signs for the walking networks).

> - proberen feedback lus te installeren (wijzigingen in OSM terugkoppelen)
* They want to create a feedback loop, so they can update their data based
on changes in OSM.

* Some things they want to maintain themselves in OSM, other things not.

> - zoeken feitelijk professionele consultant voor mee opstellen van
cursussen rond OSM. (Syntra is gevallen). Ook iemand vanuit de community om
daar mee aan te schrijven / te sturen. Denken aan 60 cursusdagen

OSM te krijgen
* As a matter of fact they are searching for a professional consultant to
help organise OSM courses. (Syntra was mentioned.) They would also like to
have someone from the community help writing/steering those. They are
thinking of 60 course days. The course would be aimed at professional GIS
people from Westtoer and WVI, and their 'godparents' of the walking
network. This would be to get more people on OSM.

> - WVI gaat GIS medewerkers naar die cursus proberen te krijgen
* WVI will try to get their GIS employees to follow that course.

> - gaan ook proberen sponsors te zoeken
* They will also try to find sponsors.

> - andere overheidsinstellingen zoeken (W-Vl eerst)
* Find other governmental institutions (initially in West-Flanders)
[To do what?]

> - WVI denkt aan europees programma rond GIS om geld los te krijgen
* WVI is thinking of a European GIS programme in hopes of getting subsidies
for us.

> - WVI via gemeenten zoeken naar doelgroepen die interesse hebben om mee
te mappen
* WVI wants to search for groups that would be interested in mapping. They
propose to work together with the municipalities for this.

> - Westtoer via hun peters/meters project (of andere methodes?) zoeken
naar nieuwe mappers
* Westtoer proposed to search for new mappers through their 'godparents'
project. Or possibly in other ways.

> - Willen langdurige samenwerking, willen echt OSM vooruit helpen
* They want a long-term cooperation. They really want to help OSM forwards.
