Re: [OSM-talk-be] OSM Birthday
Thanks Julien for your comments and suggestions I think it is wise to delay the event for a better organisation... We should take time to prepare it. indeed. If we do it in the Galerie de la Reine, I would not mind doing it in October (after it can be cold outside even if covered) The place we will propose will determine the kind of people we plan to meet and adress : eg. * Rue Neuve, not covered unless we bring our tonnelles (aka market tents, I own 2), very many people (probably one of the most crowded street in Belgium) who are shopping. Maybe difficult to interest. * Galerie de la Reine, covered, many people, probably mostly tourists; more place than Rue Neuve, less crowded but still many people, probably more easy to interest. I will be present if the event take place on a thursday or friday. but most of us work on such days. Couldn't you come on a week-end ? I think a covered place is better, like Gallerie de la Reine. But why not on the Place de la Monnaie ? it is a very nice place but ... it is not covered and there are now works on the place (it is really upside down for a while) According to me, there are two keys-moments: around midday (when people are taking a lunch) and at the end of the day, as they walk to the station. yes. See also above for the kind of people vs the location We should have a wifi-access, I think it will be necessary ! yes and electricity Following my experience, we should propose to _do_ something to people if we want them to interest to us: test a mapping, visiting the website, etc. I agree : and let the people explore and help improve THEIR neighborhood, the one they know best. But we should avoid the sentence may i speak to you about something ?.. indeed My english is very bad... i am sorry. don't worry Nicolas -- Nicolas Pettiaux, dr. sc - gsm : 0496 24 55 01 ___ Talk-be mailing list Talk-be@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-be
[OSM-talk-be] OSM Birthday
Hi, What do you think about organising an OSM Birthday party on Saturday the 20th of August? If the venue depends on me I could rent the building on Bruul in Leuven. All the buses pass there during the summer, because of the wharf on Fochplein. Of course if people have a better proposal, more centrally in Brussels or Mechelen, or maybe Antwerp, that's fine with me too. Cheers, Polyglot ___ Talk-be mailing list Talk-be@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-be

Re: [OSM-talk-be] OSM Birthday
Karel, Se ni cxioj parolus Esperanton, tio estus multe pli facila. But since we don't all speak an easily learned common world language, English will have to do. I simply didn't feel like repeating myself in three languages. (Besides, I was under the impression that that was the way it's done on this mailing list). The venue I proposed may not have free parking space on the spot, but 1 km further, just outside the city there is space. Nicolas' venue has underground parkings nearby. It has the advantage that we can promote OSM to Belgians and tourists alike. I can promote OSM in Dutch, French, English, Spanish, German or Italian. For me Brussels is just fine. I don't have a car, so I'll have to come by train or bus.

Sorry hoor, maar een Belgische fuif - wat ik op zich een prima idee vind! - zou echt wel de Belgische culturen en talen moeten respecteren. Als dat niet meer kan, dan heeft een Belgisch gebeuren geen zin. Voor mij, tenminste. Désolé, les gars, Mais pour moi, une vivacité Belge (excellente idée, s'il en est!) devrait respecter les langues et cultures Belges. Sinon, inutile. Cheers, Zum Wohl! Karlchen E anche: the ideal venue is indeed within easy reach of public transportation - mais il y a ceux qui viennent en bagnole, aussi... Of zijn die net iets minder welkom? Ein offener Parkplatz empfehlt sich ebensosehr! ___ Talk-be mailing list Talk-be@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-be
