Hello,
Here are a few comments about the future of OSM-BE.
It is a fact that during our 3 October 2013 meeting, we were a bit short of

that we do not have to
Hi,

Dear all,
After consent of the Board of OKFN (I will send an email when it's
official), OSM will be an incubating new working group at OKFN Belgium.
You can start accepting and sending invoices (first accept please ;) )
and you can elect someone to the board meetings (Will this be Nicolas?).

Hi,
We don't have all the answers yet. The only thing we know are the mails
Pieter has sent to the list and some details that have been discussed in
Brussels last week. But as I can see it at the moment:
The main benefit of this is that we will have a way of accepting

So basicly there will be no OSM-be, only OKFN?
that is the idea
We are already a de facto association,
indeed
so nothing will change?
as we will have also a formal
I'm really excited to work together. I hope to have a video call with some

Much thanks Glenn and Mark for the support.
I have discussed the case this sunday morning with Julien Fastré, and he is
ready to go that direction too.

of the Belgian OSM chapter to follow the rules of the OSM

Hi all,
Having an umbrella org take care of the legal and administrative
overhead makes a _lot_ of sense to me. And OKFN seems to be the right
kind of umbrella. Do it!

It's just to have a legal structure in place to be able to pay for the web
hosting of the osm.be website, print flyers and things like that. I have
myself payed for some of these things in the past (not a lot fortunately)
and it would be more convenient this way.
