Hi, We have a nice conversation with them going now *. This is going to be pretty big: six universities in the three regions, all working on OpenStreetMap. We might have some press attention, and it's a great opportunity to grow our community in five different cities.
We're going to need a lot of volunteers: there are six events, all at the same time, and there should be at least one mapper at every event. If you want to help out, please register here: ULB: http://www.meetup.com/OpenStreetMap-Belgium/events/229258344/ VUB: http://www.meetup.com/OpenStreetMap-Belgium/events/229258398/ KUL: http://www.meetup.com/OpenStreetMap-Belgium/events/229260162/ UGent: http://www.meetup.com/OpenStreetMap-Belgium/events/229260255/ UNamur: http://www.meetup.com/OpenStreetMap-Belgium/events/229260291/ ULG: http://www.meetup.com/OpenStreetMap-Belgium/events/229260644/ In the ideal case, that mapper is willing to give an introduction about OpenStreetMap, the Missing Maps and get people started mapping in iD. You do not have to be an expert, but of course it would be easy if you have a bit of African mapping experience. You can make your own presentation if you want to, but we're co-creating all the material you need. If you don't like to do presentations, maybe you can just help new mappers, stuck when choosing between tertiary road and track. Or you could help in the preparation of the documentation and presentations. Here's an overview of the tasks, includes some translation work. https://hackpad.com/Missing-Maps-National-April-16th-6yr1qJEQoqq Feel free to edit as you please. Joost * give me a shout if you want in on the whole conversation; as we replied and replied some CC's got lostà.
