[OSM-talk-be] a new National Mapathon - call for volunteers

[Julien Minet]

Hi Joost,

I'm willing to help and I propose to organize a local mapathon section in
Arlon (ULg campus) ONLY IF there is sufficient volunteers for other cities.
Otherwise, I can go to Namur like last year.

I have to talk with some colleagues here in Arlon to see what's possible
(not a lot of students in the 2nd quadrimester).

I let you know,
Julien Minet
