[OSM-talk-be] Survey-article / Belgian OSM website

[Ben Abelshausen]

Hi Marc,

I think these are very nice things to put on the website! The only
difference I see with for example a diary post is that OSM.be also tries to
be a recruiting tool and that communication is a bit different.

I would write short articles about a very specific activity we do, in this
case for example, I would shorten the article to an overview of what you do
and we can showcase how we (some of us) survey, to get people interested,
and use the diary to share specific technologies/ways of doing things with
the general OSM community. No problem linking to more details in the blog
on OSM.be

Those are just my thoughts on what we should do on OSM.be vs all the other
communication channels we already have, feel free to comment! :-)

Also: a series on what to map would be great but not sure how this would
work. I was also planning on writing about some of the talks I gave about
OSM last month, one of them was about mapping 'public space' and I used the
example of the statues in middelheim park! ;-)

Met vriendelijke groeten,
Best regards,

Ben Abelshausen
