- I'm willing to help with one mapping party/presentation every 2 months or so. The one in Brussels is my next appointment. - I could try to write some texts for osm.be on stuff that I do (e.g. middelheim, rose garden, heritage) similar to the presentation on OpenBelgium when that is useful to show what one can do with OSM. - I'm willing to send an email to the province for the Atlas v/d buurtwegen (just give me the text :-) ) - I've contacted an ex-colleague who used drupal for some project (website of a dogschool). I asked him whether he would be willing to upgrade the and improve the infrastructure.
I'm not the organising type, so I won't organise meetups, mapping parties, etc. but as said before I'm willing to help with the technical part. regards m.
