[OSM-talk-be] osm - use by communes/gemeenten (and: Idea?)

[Pierre Parmentier]

Hello,

Thanks for all the interesting links. It will help.

May be were my questions not formulated correctly. What I mean is to find
additional examples of the use a commune/gemeente can *do* with OSM
database.

I had some ideas: inventory of all schools, AED, health centres, trees
along the streets, benches, small monuments and statues, public parks,
routes of promenade.

I have met two échevins/schepen of my municipality (public works +
plantations + propreté/netheid and IT + Energie + Logement/Woning). They
are curious. What can I propose to them as real life examples made by other
municipalities? Things that will really help them.

Pierre P.
