[OSM-talk-be] Visit to Tourism Pajottenland

[Marc Gemis]

Today I visited Tourism Pajottenland to explain OSM to them.

Here's a brief summary of their plans. If you have contact with
similar origanisations in your area, let me know. They will all have
to make the same inventory.

They have to make an inventory of all non-protected heritage items, be
it buildings, pillories, trees or hedges.
just like any other region in Flanders. Nobody has a system for this yet.
So they are thinking of doing part of it in OSM (the data we can use).
This would also be used as some kind of base for the volunteers they
will train to make the full inventory of the items. I was thinking
about MapContrib. Isn't there a way to have private fields that are
not uploaded to OSM ?
They will make a publication of Pajot-Zenne for Spring 2018 in which
they will present OSM, but also waarneming.be and may some other
projects. There will be an announcement for workshops around those
projects. I already volunteered for the OSM part, but of course others
are welcome to join me. Furthermore I will get an updated list of
heritage, so I can start adding it to OSM.
I will also recontact Rivierenland to tell them about this project, as
they were thinking of similar projects.

Another topic are the walking networks. They will be reorganized, new
maps will have to be published. Alwin was already dreaming of having
them published in the magazine by the time the official brochures will
be published.
Also part of the network will be completely digital. No more print
outs or poles, just the wandelknooppunt.be app.
