Hello everyone, OSGeo.be will have a track at the next BeGeo conference (march 16) [1]. For those who do not know it: it is the largest "geospatial" conference in Belgium with about 2000 participants.
We think it would be a good idea to have a presentation on OpenStreetMap as well. Is someone from the OSM Belgium community available for doing such a presentation? Please reply asap, as we want to finalise the program this week.
