Thanks a lot Ruben for the translation.

Collaboration, e.g. they mentioned that their is a department running
servers for the geoloket or so that has experience maintaining servers.
They think about AGIV as well.

Cost-sharing for development of the course, organize meetings.

When the  organize meetings they were also thinking to invite commercial
partners (even TomTom, Garmin to fund such meeting, in return for a pitch
talk, if needed :-) ), but they are also thinking about high schools,
professional organizations (landmeters), etc.
There is a company that makes those devices for landmeters.

They also mentioned an organization in W-Vl that is working around an app
for wheelchair users (sorry forgot to write down the name). They want to
inform those groups about OSM as well.

So it is very early, but they really want to look for as many partners as
possible. They want to advertise OSM in many possible ways. Ideas are
welcome.

Yesterday Marc met with Westtoer (the touristic service in West-Flanders)
and WVI (the GIS coordinator of 54 of the 64 West-Flemish municipalities).

He didn't have the time to translate his notes, so I tried to translate
them into English from my understanding. If I misinterpreted, please
correct it!

I would like to thank Marc for his time and effort to do this. This
cooperation sounds really really interesting.

Hi,

Yesterday I have given a basic JOSM course to VGC - (Vlaamse
Gemeenschapscommissie) people who never even added a single node.  I
managed to not bore them with talks about nodes/ways/relations.   So in
case your governmental organisation needs a governmental reference, they
can always refer to Jan Verbelen jan.verbe...@vgc.be , he leads the
'Meet  Weet Cell' and is totally into Open/Big Data and OSM.  He's our
supporter there.  I've CC'ed him on this mail so Jan knows they can
contact him in case they need to peer.

The focus was to be able to add basic stuff, a road , a house and
elaborate on the ways of working of JOSM/OSM.   In total we had about 8
people and at least 2 of them were very enthusiastic and were totally on
board.

One woman didn't even want to stop mapping!  I had a good feeling about
this approach and it was fun doing it!  It sure helps to get people up
to speed, 1 day isn't enough to cover it all but I hope they got a
jumpstart.

I think this is a working formula.  I don't think Syntra has the
competence to teach OSM stuff in-house (at this time), so our community
can probably assist there.

I've forwarded you mail to the people @ Westtoer and put you in cc.

We were aware that Syntra does not have the knowledge on OSM, but they do
have the knowledge (I hope) that they can create good course material based
on our (community) input.

p.s. nice to hear that your course was a success
