Thank you Wouter for the good and interesting presentation. For an actual
workshop, where people can actually become active entering data, I think
it'd take 2-3 hours all by itself.
I was taking photographs of house numbers. I'm always careful not to include
names or license plates on my pictures.

Some inhabitants saw a group of people taking pictures of houses and
called the police because they thought it was suspect. I know this
because a bit later on (after

A short report about yesterday's workshop in Haaltert.
The public consisted of people that had never heard about OSM and very
limited experience in GPS use. I started with an explanation with what
is OSM, comparing with other online maps, pointing advantages,
disadvantages, possibilities...

The workshop will take place at the city hall in Haaltert. We will
start at 10. The plan is to start with an introduction to OSM (those
people have possibly never heard about OSM). After that the tracking
starts and in the afternoon, we can do the actual mapping not yet a

Hi Wouter,
Ik heb die trackers liggen: misschien kan je me best bellen voor een

I think it is a good idea to name the unnamed paths and tracks to its
Voetweg and Buurtweg name from the Atlas if these roads exists there.
Many muncipalities are rediscovering, revaluating and inventarising
these old and sometimes almost forgotten and often neglected roads.
Many times these unna
If it is on the street sign, I agree to put it in the name tag.
Here, they get new names in most communities. My personal favourite is
"Kakhoekweg". Yes, it exists right here:

Where "trage wegen" are being reinstated they are 'named' as Voetweg xx or
Buurtweg yy. Usually there is a name tag on both sides with the same number.
Occasionally there is an arrow with the name of the street the path leads
to. It doesn't hurt to use Voetweg xx or Buurtweg yy as the name when it

In fact, using the name tag is mainly a bad idea because in the Atlas

But as you mention,
Hi Wouter,
I will probably try to come for the meeting. Is it going to be like a
mapping party? I can coach a group and I have two GPS units, so one can be
for another group. I have no idea where those lend out GPS units are. There
should be a list of them on the wiki, mentioning their whereabouts

Hi all,
As Kenny announced some time ago, Trage Wegen vzw
(http://www.tragewegen.be) will organise an OSM workshop. Since he
can't be there, he asked on the list for others to take care of it,
which has become me.
Practically, the workshop will take place on June 18th in Haaltert.
