indeed.

At the beginning of May, I have an appointment with the president of 
ULB and its administrator.

I proposed that ULB hosts RMLL. I am ready to propose that ULB hosts 
STOM. 

Yes, definitively, SOTM-Belgium would be a good start, but with Fosdem 
and RMLL experiences, and enough people, I think we can definitively 
aim at SOTM. Now, we just need to build the file and enter a good 
proposal.

I'll meet soon ministers and try to get money for other projects 
related to free software, open access, open data. OSM is only the next 
step.

What about organising in the beginning of 2016 SOTM-Belgium to get some 
traction, and that during only a week-end (like Fosdem). We could 
advertise during Fosdem and also before at different local events.

Then we could go larger for a full blown SOTM at the beginning of 
September 2016.

What do you think of such a proposal ?

I am ready also to propose it to the team that is behind the 
organisation of the associalibre.be activity of free software for 
associations on April 24 (where you are all welcome).
And where Julien will come and hopefully help with the planned OSM 
activity.

Best regards,

Nicolas
