[Belgium] Collaboration between OSGeo.be and a Free GIS training at ULB ?

[Maelle Vercauteren]

Hi Moritz,
Thanks for your support.
The involvement of OSGeo can take various forms from a short talk (from a
member of the association) regarding OSGeo activities (OSGeo-live,
GeoforAll, FOSS4G) to a joint-session in a full day event describing for
example the use and creation of free GIS software in developing countries.
The implication can vary from one year to another depending on everyone's
availability.
Kind Regards, Maë//e
