Hi, A little bit about my projects:
We are on our way back from SOTM. We have had lots of conversations here with people and specifically with Christian Quest about his great openstreetmap.fr map style. It shows a lot more data like pedestrian crossings, shops, sports-related stuff and many many more things because it has 2 extra zoom levels. There are also specific icons for each bus/train operator and things like bpost :-)! He also explained some work he did on the openstreetmap.fr website and i'm thinking about duplicating this work with our own style and multilingual support but maybe somebody already started with a website? Who owns osm.be btw? Their website is just a simple drupal website, this should not be difficult to do and easy to manage. We would also be able to reuse some of his work. What I would also like to do is copy his mapstyle and use it for Belgium too and create dutch/french language versions. We can announce events and everybody can post news about their own projects if they want to. I would like a seperate website because the wiki is too complicated for new users and non-openstreetmappers just looking for some information but i think we already discussed this and most seemed to agree? We (me and Jorieke V) are also still doing meetups and introducing new people to OpenStreetMap. The next meetup will be next week again in Gent (we might even do a mapping party!) but there will also be something in Antwerpen somewhere in the next couple of weeks I think. You are always welcome to do a meetup yourself if you have time. I also changed the name of our meetup group to OpenStreetMap Belgium: http://www.meetup.com/OpenStreetMap-Belgium/ I'm also collaborating with frederik rodrigo from openstreetmap.fr to get the new AGIV data into their system. This will allow us to easily merge the AGIV CRAB-data with what is there in OSM. Not sure yet how this will work so more news on this later. There is also going to be a day of OpenStreetMap at FOSDEM together with OSM-FR again. Best Regards, Ben
