<p dir="ltr">Hi, </p>
<p dir="ltr">I just added this event to the Belgian Meetup calendar, see <a href="http://meetu.ps/e/BjHFr/fnQ6Y/apiand">http://meetu.ps/e/BjHFr/fnQ6Y/apiand</a><br>
There's over 150 members, so hopefully some of them will come. I also shared the invite on the Belgium OSM talk list (Johan did so too, more recently). I know at least one of our members already signed up. </p>
<p dir="ltr">As an OpenStreetMap member, I absolutely applaud this effort. However, I still would like some more detailed info about the source of the data you will add to OSM, which kinds of objects would be added, etc. Obviously, licensing has to be compatible, or an explicit permission has to be granted by the data providers. The data quality has to be really high. Measures have to be taken to solve conflicts between existing and new data. Tagging schemes may have to be investigated or extended to ensure data usability afterwards. Failure to do any of these things might cause removal of the new data.<br>
I'm sure there are people in the team who are well aware of all this. But it would be nice if you could share the info with the Belgian OSM community. A good place would be in this thread on the Belgian talk list: <a href="https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-be/2016-February/008395.html">https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-be/2016-February/008395.html</a></p>
<p dir="ltr">All the best, <br>
Joost</p>
