Re: [OSM-talk-be] MissingMaps National

Hi Glenn, Cool that you want to sponsor the server! Regarding OKFN help: We can help with setting up stuff or coach you how to do it yourself. But we don’t have budget to pay for merch ourselves (big name, small NPO ;)). Eg. I can help think on what to provide at the stand Glenn proposes and

Re: [OSM-talk-be] MissingMaps National

Hey Ben/Pieter, I was about to say maybe OKFN can help us. We really should sell cool merchandise @ SOTM 2016, that is a golden opportunity imho. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Merchandise And park all the proceedings with OKFN for OSM.be use and be transparant on where the money goes. I

Re: [OSM-talk-be] MissingMaps National

Hi Ben, I’m always up to brainstorm about finding funding. I think financial or non-financial sponsorships always help Eg. Combell who provides hosting? It is that way we handle such things as well for Open Knowledge Belgium. Kind regards, Pieter-Jan Community Coordinator Open

Re: [OSM-talk-be] MissingMaps National

Hi, I also think we should start working on getting some basic funding for OSM.be. I'm still paying for website, meetup and one server every month, it's not much but we should be able to get this funded somehow. If we can have some basic funding we can also make other things happen like t-shirts,

Hi Marc, Good eye, wrote down the same remark in the Hackpad. Something like missingmaps.be that is rooted in the local OSM.be community would be a good asset to refer people to. And @Joost, spamming in my regards, are unpersonal messages pushed

Pieter-Jan, I often feel like I'm spamming people, but apparently some of the Gent GIS people felt a bit the same as you: why did I know so late (I did contact Thimo much sooner, and Geertrui came, so some information flow was there). So lesson learned: I'll spam till I drop. All, I'm putting

Hi guys, just followed up on the conversation. I can follow the arguments of Seppe below. Yes, a few media opportunities were missed, but still this was a huge achievement for OSM and shouldn’t be deminished regarding impact. If you look up mapathon on Google (of all places ;)), you end up on

Hi, So I contacted Belga. The report was only used by Metro and Zondag. They didn't think anyone else would pick up on it, and did not see any use in correcting it in their own database. I did get a personal contact at Belga we can call next time we do something, who promised to listen carefully

Indeed the room in Ghent would not be able to deal with 80 participants. We would also need more experienced mappers per location. Almost anyone on this list would be able to do that. Most asked question: "Is this a building ?" Or when we would have to map roads "Which type of road is this?" If

200 is indeed incredible and we wouldn't have been able to handle 80 people in one location or the corresponding 500 in all 7 locations at the moment. We still need to grow into this and this was a great learning experience already as it was. Jo 2016-04-17 22:43 GMT+02:00 joost schouppe

Re: [OSM-talk-be] MissingMaps National

Apparently this seems to be an important point to remember when talking to the press. Could we write a short general press communiqué stressing these important points? No relation whatsoever with anything Google (even stressing we can't use their imagery or streetview for the creation of our data)
