Hello Jeroen, I'm interested in a Dutch Local Chapter.
Although not active involved in OS GIS development at the moment, I believe a local chapter would be a nice place to keep myself informed. Most of the time the Dutch don't seem to need a translated website or local initiative because we know how to read and write English, at least good enough we think :-) But I welcome the ease and charm of a local chapter so I support the idea. On http://wiki.osgeo.org/index.php/Local_Chapters the Dutch chapter is already listed I saw.

Wim de Haas and Wim Blanken were organizing this excellent seminar in which I had the honor to also speak on behalf of myself. I tried to make it into a good pitch for OSGeo. The presentation has been added to the documents library. http://www.osgeo.org/node/452 It's in Dutch and I used a previous presentation already available here in English (although I can't seem to find it anymore....). It was extended with OSGeo stuff. ======== Dutch local Chapter ========= What came up pretty strongly was the idea of a Dutch local chapter. This would be an inclusive, or linguistic chapter for those speaking Dutch, so more a Benelux (Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg) and other places like Suriname. This is a good opportunity for consolidation of existing Dutch websites focussing on open source GIS into a more active community location. I just write this email to get the discussion started :-) So: Alle Nederlanders met interesse voor een Nederlandstalig OSGeo Chapter, laat je horen. I've asked for a Dutch mailing list. Once created it should appear in the list at: http://lists.osgeo.org Groeten, Jeroen _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
