Hi, As some of you know, I've been sending welcome messages to all new Belgian mappers. First to let them know there is a local community (and how to find us). Second to keep an eye on them, as some of them do break things.
Ruben made a nice little tool to make this easier. It could all be much better (the source code looks ugly, according to Ruben), but I like working with the thing. The only problem is: I can't find the time to look at all the changesets and send all the messages. Especially as I still have to catch up for my holidays in February. http://osmwelcome.unitedbashers.com/index.php More eyes means a better website. And if we get a tweaked a bit more, maybe we can expand the toolkit to other countries. Of course, as Simon Poole would say, the site is not necessary at all. It's just really damn practical, especially if more than one person does the welcoming. You are encouraged to make your own welcome message, but there is a French, Dutch and English version available. Go ahead and try; you can just log-in with your OSM account. If you need more info, contact me and/or Ruben. -- Joost @ Openstreetmap <http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/joost%20schouppe/> | Twitter <https://twitter.com/joostjakob> | LinkedIn <https://www.linkedin.com/pub/joost-schouppe/48/939/603> | Meetup <http://www.meetup.com/OpenStreetMap-Belgium/members/97979802/> | Reddit <https://www.reddit.com/u/joostjakob> | Wordpress <https://joostschouppe.wordpress.com/>
