I was thinking about this location: http://www.wereldcafe.be/
The place is still available on Saturdays 21 and 28 of March. Due to personal limitations I'd want to get started at 16h. It's open until 23h. Of course, if people would want to start earlier, that's possible too, but somebody else would have to get started. There is wifi and catering. They have some sort of curtain to create a more closed off area, if needed. I can bring a projector and they have a white wall. For people who want to go out and map, both Begijnhof and Botanical garden are nearby, just like the city center and the Oude Markt. Parking is another matter... Maybe Gasthuisberg is the cheapest and most convenient way for people coming by car. There are many buses going into the center. Using the train is better, of course and again, there are many buses, but it's also possible to go on foot (and start surveying / mapillarying already :-) I'd like to show how to use Mapillary as a modern and convenient way of surveying in the field and then use those pictures and GPX tracks to add details to OSM.
