I think we have our speakers :) (I myself would love to talk about GR mapping, Wegenregister and some of the subjects Marc mentioned)
About the language thing: of the 155 people who opened our newsletter, 13 clicked through to the French translation, and 4 to the Dutch (it was the very first link in view). I think that's really a lot of effort for little gain. If we have more volunteers organizing stuff, I do agree it makes sense to talk to people in their own language. Being extremely local does work: when I did a meetup here in Halle, someone came from a small town 45 minutes away, because he preferred going to something in a small town, rather than in nearby Mechelen. But at this time, I think there's real value in doing things that are open to both Brussels and Flemish people. Especially as we have Flemish volunteers who have been working a little too hard, and a lot of energy in Brussels right now. And don't forget there is a huge international community in Brussels, for whom often both French and Dutch are quite exotic. So please do sign up on the framapad, and let's pick a date. Seems like Jonathan will organize the whole thing :) Seriously though, let me know if you're interested to help out and I'll keep you in the loop. 2016-10-05 9:03 GMT+02:00 Jonathan Beliën <[email protected]>: > Hi everyone, > > > > Awesome idea ! > > > > Not very comfortable (yet ?) to give a talk ; > > But I live in Brussels so I could totally help to organise the thing (find > a place, …) ! > > > > Jonathan Beliën > > GEO-6 > > > > *De :* joost schouppe [mailto:[email protected]] > *Envoyé :* mardi 4 octobre 2016 19:59 > *À :* OpenStreetMap Belgium > *Objet :* [OSM-talk-be] a slightly more formal meetup > > > > Hi, > > > > I'm very happy to see another bar meetup in Brussels!
