[OSM-talk-be] Mapping Party: infrastructure for the homeless

[joost schouppe]

Hi,

After posting to the osgeo group, I got some feedback from Gael there.
Apparently, Julien Fastree is involved, so that's good. Here's the feedback:

"
Some information about our source, actually Dewey (a local association in
brussels,http://dewey.be/dewey-maps/ ) have collect point information, this
would be the major contribution; some of them could be usefull for NGO who
work around this target thematic.

it is possible that local NGO  could give certain of their resource.

The finality is to consolidate all this information’s and to perennialize
it in a single source.

We are conscious of the constraint quality and will take care of it by
supervising the various participants.

Julien Fastrée, will be there to draw the attention of the participants,
but if other contributors are available they are welcome.
"

Looks like a cool project, all hands welcome!
