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

[Ben Abelshausen]

I mean the diaries on osm.org yes... ;-)

I have always seen Mapper of the month as a perfect fit here, it showcases
what we do, that most of us are 'regular' people (I mean, not all of use
are GIS professionals or software developers). It also helps the mappers
being interviewed to tell others about their work and we show our
appreciation and respect for what they do.

We can always change the menu's on the website to say 'Blog' or something!
;-)

Met vriendelijke groeten,
Best regards,

Ben Abelshausen
