Hello everyone. Here is my reflexion about this conversation.
#Todo list Thanks Ben for the todo list. But we have to detail it like - what are the problems of the drupal website (blog language ? ). Also it is good to have a tool that permit to the list to progress, create new category (one of this category can be the 25 avril event... ). I can try to help for the website improvement, sometimes for the french communication,... #Mapping party It is nice to have some mapping party but I think that a Belgium meeting (not only a mapping party is also interresing). The idea about this meeting is to develop the community : meeting each other, talk about how to develop the community, invite poeple for other community, .... Also it is nice to have some mapping party but we have to be careful trying to do 6 mapping party this year is maybe too ambitious. I prefer to have 3 good mapping parties in Belgium during 5 years than 6 during one year and nothing after. I don't want to refrain someone to organise mapping party, but we have to have attainable goals and there is a lot of work. A way to attract beginners in OSM is to contact ASBL / VZW or local organisation that can be interesting in OSM. For the 25 april we can contact the Gracq ( also the local chapter of the Gracq ) and the fietsersbond (I don't know if there exist local chapter). Another time we can contact walker group (and explain how to put osm on a gps device), tourism association, ...).
