Hi, We need to be careful not to burn up everybody and make sure we don't overstep on what we can handle. There are still just about 5-8 people willing to contribute in some way so I think it's risky to start doing too much too soon. I think it's a good idea to organize smaller mapping events,

Hi, Very ambitious, I like the idea lot! That being said I also have my doubts but maybe that should not stop us of entertaining the idea. I also like Julien's idea of doing a SOTM Belgium. Anyway, you will have my full support in any of these initiatives. I also think that if we would organize

Hi everyone, Just my two cents on SOTM-2016. -Organising Open Belgium 2015 cost OKFN Belgium around 3 months of fulltime work as organiser, with two other co-organisers and a communication partner. Something like this is even harder if it not your full time job and especially when your

Much thanks Ben for the clear proposal. I propose to focus on SOTM 2016 at ULB as our main goal and then, as fall back to have SOTM-Eu with France if possible (Gael Musquet, former president of OSM-fr will be in Brussels on April 25 as he told me at OpenBelgium) or SOTM-Be. Let's go and

Great, Check with the ULB, if they have done things like RMLL, FOSDEM and so on, they should have a package deal specifically for such events. About the dates: It depends on your target audience and local events (Belgian / ULB local). So not to close to holiday periods (summer is possible

Hi, It's maybe a bit quick to start discussing details like this :-) If we have won the SOTM-2016 bid we will get help from the OpenStreetMap Foundation team dedicated to organizing this. We should put together all the necessary details for the bid the rest we can do later. There is no
