Could not have said it better !
As I use OSGEO tools and OpenStreetMap database on a daily basis, I
could not be more happy if the two of us join our forces !
Maë//e told us you use you wiki page for your events :
http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Belgium#2017
If you agree, I'll add your OSGEOBE events to Maptime Belgium
(http://maptime.io/belgium/) starting by next OSGEODevEvening !
And I could help with events about web cartography (OpenLayers, Leaflet,
MapServer, ...).

Hi,
Even though we're natural partners, we don't do that much together.
After the National Mapathon, Jonathan, Maelle and myself had a few
beers and a long talk. It convinced me that we could do more.
I would like to propose two things:
- at OSM Belgium, we use Meetup [1] to organize all our events. But we
publish all of them at our Maptime [2] page too. How about we share
the Maptime page to announce both OSM and OsGeo events?
- Maptime is actually supposed to be about easy events where you
actually learn to do some webmapping. For example, learning how to
make a Leaflet map. We would like to organize a little event where you
can learn how to build a simple map with Overpass-Turbo [3], Umap [4]
or Mapcontrib [5]. All very userfriendly, but still quite powerful. I
think it would be an excellent thing to do together, because we could
recruit people that tend more towards data-collection for
OpenStreetMap Belgium and those that are more interested in open
source software for OsGeo.
Also, I think it would be very fun to do.
Because it is within the scope of the Maptime project, we could get
Free Pizza (sponsored by Carto, former CartoDB). Who doesn't like free
pizza?
Anyway, share your thoughts, and efforts :)
