Hi Jo, I have heard a lot about you from Noël and from Pieter from De Lijn but they never succeeded in giving me your full name ;). From the moment I have the data under the right license I will reply here again. With iRail we have been publishing some geospatial data on data.iRail.be but these data need a lot of fixing still.
Just to be able to convince Tourism Flanders that this is a useful thing to do, is anyone willing to join us for a day or 2 days Random Hacks of Kindness? They have a lot of more Geospatial data that I would like to get in the open. Kind regards, Pieter -- OKFN Belgium http://okfn.be On Fri, May 10, 2013 at 11:54 AM, Jo <winfi...@gmail.com> wrote: > As soon as they do, give us a sign.
