Hello OpenStreetMapBE, Dries, In a few weeks, a bootcamp from Hack Your Future is starting - and they'll build upon OpenStreetMap!
For context: Hack Your Future is a program where refugees learn to code in 6 months time. When they finish the lessons, a boot camp is organized: a four week period where the students can enroll and build a bigger project together - quite similar to an Open Summer of Code project. This is all organized by Open Knowledge Belgium and paid for by the Fondation Roi Boaudouin. Dries, the coordinator of Open Knowledge Belgium wanted to build a website promoting the 'Paalcampings'/'Aire de bivouac'/'bivouac zones' and asked me to coach them. Depending on the number of enrolling students, a second, technically similar project may be set-up as well. As I will be in Ghent, it would be cool to do a meetup, as this could be an added value for the students if they want to meet more of the community (and because it's been a while there was a meetup in Ghent). Apart from a chance to see the projects they are working on, it is a nice opportunity to plan the presentation moment. This meetup is *monday 27th of januari, 17:00 - 19:00 in De Krook*. (De Krook closes at 19:00, we might rebase then to a nearby pub or restaurant) The last day of the bootcamp, *thursday 13th februari*, an event is planned. The exact size and timing of the event is still unclear, but there will be room for (at least) a table dedicated to OpenStreetMap. More practical details about this event will be shared with you in the coming week - but already mark the date. If you have questions or ideas about what we can do, feel free to let me know. -- Met vriendelijke groeten, Pieter Vander Vennet
