[OSM-talk-be] Meetup about rendering of maps

[Julien Minet]

Interesting discussion!

I'm also working on rendering maps based on OSM, I use Mapnik and cartoCSS
for that --> https://github.com/nobohan/OpenArdenneMap

With QGIS, I once found this question on gis.stackexchange:
https://gis.stackexchange.com/questions/100205/error-with-existing-osm-qgis-style.
it refers to 2 projects giving qml styles for OSM data using geofabrik shp
for the first one and a spatialite database for the second one.

I'm open to discuss that on the 26th of October at the foss4g.be!

Julien
