[OSM-talk-be] Submit your OSM-BE talk at Open Belgium 2016

[joost schouppe]

Hi Pieter-Jan and community,

Where I think OSM and local government can help each other is probably more
in them using our data than the other way around. For example, for simple
webmaps a tool like Umap can help them to publish quick and cheap. On the
other hand, the tools they develop would probably be of more use to the
world, if they use OSM in stead of data silos. I'm think for example about
the ability to crowdsource data within the Antwerp stadsplan, where people
start collecting ATM's or pharmacy in a little data island. Or Gent's
insistence on building a bicycle route planner that runs on just their
data. (just two example I happen to know, I don't want to be pointing
fingers)
The win for us would of course be that data use (beyond simple rendered map
backgrounds) drives more people toward mapping.

So maybe a workshop where you get to play with some of the cooler OSM
applications might be fun and useful.

I can't do this by myself as I'll be jetlagged at the time of the event;
flying back home from a trip the Saterday before.
But if someone wants to do this together, yes please.

Joost
