I suggest we choose Joomla to make this site. We have a lot of free extensions for that system and the most important, we can have a lot of "super users" who can work on the site (and publishers and so on).
Free hosting, I think the most important is to have a Joomla-friendly webhoster ( take please a look at ivoweb.be ), My total costs are 23,60 euro for a whole year ;-). Multilangual : there are a lot of extensions in joomla for that I can make the website you want. ivodeb and ivoweb are the same persons ;-) 2013/9/10 Dennis Bollyn <den...@gyrbo.be> > While all the suggestions are nice, I think we're mostly looking for a > company to sponsor OSM (eg. giving the hosting for free). > > I don't personally know the owner of openstreetmap.be, I only recalled a > conversations from the mailing list where it was stated that the owner was > "OSM friendly).
