Thanks, but it is a community effort, but most of the praise should go
towards Ben Abelshausen. He did the initial work to find out what we needed
to do, and set up the "administrative process" to get us started (bylaws, a
membership). jbelien did most of the tech stuff (integrating the website
and the membership with our mailchimp account etc). I think my role can be
best described as supporting and thinking along.

Hi,

I did some translation on the hackpad.

Between [] there are some words/sentences I am not sure to have
understood or well translated.

I did not literal translation; I tryed that it seems quite fluent in
French... Jo (and all Dutch people who understand French), could you
check that the meaning is not completely different ?

Thanks, Ben, for the explanation, your report and work. It was very

I may help on some subject, occasionnaly (I reckon time is missing for

Thanks a lot for the update. I have to admit that I prefer mapping above
any of those items you are talking about. So I'm not a candidate, except
for working on the "Mapper of the Month" stuff.

Maybe because we never go "outside". IMHO we have to go to clubs that are
interested in maps. We have to invite ourselves and give presentations to
walking, cycling, geogaching etc. clubs. They might have a natural interest
for good maps. This happened recently in the UK (
http://www.mappa-mercia.org/2014/10/october-joint-social-meeting-with-beacon-roads-cycling-club.html
)

Another group are retired people. There seems to be an organization that
organizes all kind of courses for them.

Yet another group are companies. Maybe through Unizo ?

But of course this takes time and requires talents (giving presentations)
that perhaps many mappers (including myself) do not have.

Meetups are nice, but require that people know somehow about the project.
It expects that they come to us. By "forcing" a presentation upon them,
they learn about the project.

Several of my co-workers are now finaly starting to use OSM for their
cycling GPSes, because I kept talking about it. Perhaps, one day, they
start mapping themselves.

Just my .5 cents

Not a lot of news but some things have been happening behind the scenes.
Being part of OKFN has given me the opportunity to better represent OSM-be
at various occasions. A few things:

- There was a track at Day Days this year:
http://www.datadays.eu/session/open-steet-map-belgium/ and there will be
one again. This track was organized by myself and lead to very interesting
discussions about OSM with datausers, dataproviders, etc... I for one have
learned that OSM is still a complex project for people that aren't
completely submerged into it.
- I have been organizing meetups before summer and am now (next week)
starting again.
- I have been working on a proposal for people/companies that want to
sponsor our OSM-be working group. This may lead us to a situation where we
have a very small budget to organize some things. I was thinking about a
mapping party for the missing maps project, our own be-specific rendering
server, etc.
- At all the open-data and OSM related events/conferences I go to it has
become a bit easier to explain OSM-be now that we are a working group ;-)

Some other things I have been doing related to OSM:

- Atlas der buurtwegen.
- SOTM-EU.
- GeoONG conference with HOT: This one was awesome:
http://www.cartong.org/geong/2014/agenda/roundtables/volunteers
- Meeting with city of ghent on their cycle route planning system and
possible cooperation with us (OSM-be).
- Open-data day flanders in Brussels.
- managing the @osm_be twitter-account (but not doing a very good job).
- DWG (but not very active)
- CRAB-import (but not very active)

Things I want to do but still haven't happened for various reasons:

- 10 year OSM celebration
- MapRoulette Challenge for BE.
- Mapper of the month, but that seems to be happening now.
- Mapping party for the missing maps project.
- (a lot more!)

I would like to ask again if there is anyone here that is willing to
volunteer a bit and help out. Most of these things move very slowly because
it's mostly just me and my spare time.

There has been some movement again on the CRAB-import and the
mapper-of-the-month project. I really hope these things will start moving
forward.

I still believe that we are way too small and the only and sustainable way
to keep improving the map is to get more people involved. Strangely enough
we almost never work to improve our numbers.

[OSM-talk-be] OSM Belgium

[Marc Gemis]

Hallo,

last year there was quite some excitement around the creation of a OSM
Belgium organization. In the end we became part of the OKFN (if I'm not
mistaken).

Any news on this front ? Funding ? Servers ? Impact on presence @ FOSDEM
2015 ?


no critique, just curiosity

regards

Hello,

It's my first message to the mailing list. I'm a new maper.
I was present at the meeting in Brussels a couple of weeks ago.

So I don't know if I can say much. But still I want to say that I agree.

If 2 other people were proposed to join OKFN and represent OSM-BE, who
would like to be ? Who would you recommend ?

fine for me, still hope we'll become a local chapter too. Just because it
sounds reasonable to be part of the wider OSM-community.

[OSM-talk-be] OSM Belgium & OKFN Belgium

[Ben Abelshausen]

Hello,

If everybody agrees we can make this 'official'. Before we do this I would
like to give everybody another chance to voice opinions/concerns again
about this.

Basically this is what is going to happen:

- OSM Belgium is NOT going to create a seperate VZW/ASBL but will work
under the Open Knowledge Foundation Belgium (OKFN Belgium) umbrella.
- OSM Belgium will be represented by Ben Abelshausen. (If there are other
candidates please let the list know we can organize a vote, I don't want to
do this if our community does not agree)

This does NOT exclude us in the future of:

- Still becoming a VZW/ASBL for whatever reason.
- Becoming a local chapter of OSMF.

I think this is a good step forward no?
Met vriendelijke groeten,
Best regards,

Ben Abelshausen
