Pieter-Jan, community, If anyone wants to co-host a session like the one I proposed, yes. Anyone?
You also mentioned maybe a mapping party. How about something like this: http://osm.be/nl/content/missing-maps-mapathon-antwerpen If you like that idea (it isn't very Belgian of course), I would be willing to host this by myself if noone else comes forward.
