Dear OSM community,

My name is Pierre Barban. A team composed of three very motivated students, 
including myself, and lead by two active members of the OSMbe, have been 
mandated by the region of Brussels, Belgium, to create a map gathering all kind 
of data related to cycling. Without a doubt, OpenStreetMap was the perfect tool 
for us to create a powerful platform that would sustain over the years.

In the framework of month-long online code camp organized by the non-profit 
[Open Knowledge Belgium](https://be.okfn.org/), we have been able to establish 
the first version of the [tool](https://cyclofix.osm.be/map/), organized a 
[mapathon](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C5dVjDt5QAE) to collect data, and 
create a complete [website](https://cyclofix.osm.be/) to document the entire 
making process.

In accordance with the OSM core values, it would be very valuable for our 
project as well as our individual learning process to receive as many 
constructive comments from the community as possible. If you're interested in 
more details about the project, we will be giving an [online 
presentation](https://www.eventbrite.be/e/open-summer-of-code-2020-demo-day-live-streaming-registration-112787885602)
 tomorrow July 30, 2020 at 1pm CEST. We will be available to directly discuss 
after the presentation to receive feedback in order to keep improving our 
project. Other related project from our program, [Open Summer of 
Code](https://osoc.be/), like the Bike Data Project - which aims to collect and 
share cyclist commute data in an opened way - will also be presented to you.
Please do not hesitate to contact me for further information,

thank you for your time and help.

Sincerely,

Pierre Barban, from the Cyclofix project.

student of the team.
