[OSM-talk-be] Grands Randonnées Wallonia is inviting us

[Jo]

Oh, wow, that is really bad timing. Inviting them to SotM won't work
either, as this involves a price tag.

Inviting them to the Mapathon on Thursday evening might work for some who
live near to Brussels, if they're interested in mapping in general, but
mapping routes/itineraries in a well mapped area is rather different from
mapping buildings/roads in virgin territory.

> Y participent des baliseurs GR, la plupart des actifs dans l'asbl SGR
> ainsi que des membres et autres intéressés à nous rencontrer.
> Le week-end est consacré à des randonnées, mais aussi à des séances
> d'informations lorsque c'est possible.

> Si cela vous intéresse, faites-moi signe que l'on prévoit votre
> intervention dans le programme du week-end.
