Hi, Thanks, Joost, for this post. Those time, I am quite busy and I feel sorry not to be able to share such things (I had seen that Johan had forwared the mail, so I thought that it was a bit less urgent).
We were requested to make a presentation about OSM for newbie level. Those newbies should be able to edit OSM within 1 hour... I think this is quite optimistic, but let's see... I think the most important is to understand "what is OSM" and "what are the advantages for me". I wrote "we" because (this is an information we get this morning) we should make two presentation. It seems that there are more than 30 participants. One presentation should be in French, the other one in English (I imagine that there are Dutch-speaking people, but the organizer are quite afraid that I speak Dutch (I do not have problem with speaking in Dutch, but my audience do have :-) )). I will stay there in the afternoon. I will be happy to meet you there.
