Hi Joost,
I don't know whether organising a missing maps mapathon at Open Belgium
2016 is the best thing to do, as we ask an entrance fee in order to be
able to cover the costs of organising Open Belgium 2016...
Kind regards,
Pieter

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.

Hello Joost,
Excellent suggestion and something that would indeed be very
useful. On a lot of ‘open’ topics, their is indeed low awareness
amongst government officials so a workshop like this would be very
welcome. Not just for those government officials, but also for
volunteers and other working groups that use geodata. The more I
can promote diversity in open initiatives, the happier I am.
Does somebody have the time and spirit to propose a session?
Hosting a session means free access to the conference including
food and drinks for those wondering.
Kind regards,
Pieter-Jan

Hi Pieter-Jan and community,
Where I think OSM and local government can help each other is
probably more in them using our data than the other way around.
For example, for simple webmaps a tool like Umap can help them to
publish quick and cheap. On the other hand, the tools they
develop would probably be of more use to the world, if they use
OSM in stead of data silos. I'm think for example about the
ability to crowdsource data within the Antwerp stadsplan, where
people start collecting ATM's or pharmacy in a little data
island. Or Gent's insistence on building a bicycle route planner
that runs on just their data. (just two example I happen to know,
I don't want to be pointing fingers)
The win for us would of course be that data use (beyond simple
rendered map backgrounds) drives more people toward mapping.
So maybe a workshop where you get to play with some of the cooler
OSM applications might be fun and useful.
I can't do this by myself as I'll be jetlagged at the time of the
event; flying back home from a trip the Saterday before.
But if someone wants to do this together, yes please.
Joost

Hi everyone,
My apologies for the slight off-topic. I’m organising the
Open Belgium conference 2016, which will, or at least should
be, completely community driven.
Until 15 November 2015 everybody can suggest a session for
the conference in Antwerp on the 29th of February 2015.
I haven’t seen much OSM proposals, so I though this mailing
list would have some members who might be interested in
suggesting a session.
You can propose a session on: http://bit.ly/1QftLZf
You can suggest keynotes, workshops, a mapping party, a
hackathon, panel, or any other format.
And one tip: This year we’re focusing on local open data and
are targeting local authorities to come and visit. Is there
something they should know or can help you with? Let us know!
And if you have questions about the conference or why we’re
organising this, feel free to reply or email me directly.
Have a great week!
Kind regards,
Pieter-Jan
