[OSM-talk-be] MissingMaps National

Tue Apr 19 07:57:36 UTC 2016

Hi Marc, 

Good eye, wrote down the same remark in the Hackpad. Something like missingmaps.be <http://missingmaps.be/> that is rooted in the local OSM.be <http://osm.be/> community would be a good asset to refer people to. 
And @Joost, spamming in my regards, are unpersonal messages pushed through bots, advertising and generic email messages that have nothing to do with my field of work or interests. 
OSM-be has none of those factors in my regards, so it’s not spamming :). 

Kind regards,
Pieter-Jan
