<div dir="ltr">Hi,<div><br></div><div>This will be a busy week:</div><div><br></div><div>On Friday, we'll have a regular OpenStreetMap meetup in Louvain La Neuve [1]. C'est le premier OSM meetup en Wallonie depuis tres tres longtemps!</div><div><br></div><div>On Saturday and Sunday, Dewey is doing a Cartopartie about their <a href="http://maps.dewey.org">maps.dewey.org</a> [2]. It is more an open source dev hackaton than something OSM. But they are investigating the relation between their geodata and OSM. As Philippe noted somewhere, their data isn't always better - but there are surely some mutual benefits to be found.</div><div><br></div><div>On Saturday, we are having the National Mapathon. It looks like we will surpass last year's participation, with 177 people already registered [3]. We are still looking for volunteers to help new mappers, especially in Louvain-la-Neuve and Namur. </div><div>In the evening, you're welcome to the Validation Party, which we will do at the Dewey Cartopartie in Brussels.</div><div>Even though only 1% of participants go on to become heavy Belgium mappers, this is a great opportunity to present OSM to a completely new public.</div><div><br></div><div>On Sunday, we will join the Cartopartie crew for our second OSM Belgium Hackday [4]. All your projects are welcome, though we have several in the works: improving the new website, GRB import, Roadmapping project, etc. </div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>1: <a href="https://www.meetup.com/OpenStreetMap-Belgium/events/238062854/">https://www.meetup.com/OpenStreetMap-Belgium/events/238062854/</a><br clear="all"><div>2: <a href="http://www.dewey.be/cartopartie/cartopartie-bruxelloise-au-pianofabriek/">http://www.dewey.be/cartopartie/cartopartie-bruxelloise-au-pianofabriek/</a></div><div>3: <a href="http://nationalmapathon.eventbrite.com">http://nationalmapathon.eventbrite.com</a></div><div>4: <a href="https://www.meetup.com/OpenStreetMap-Belgium/events/238459488/">https://www.meetup.com/OpenStreetMap-Belgium/events/238459488/</a></div><div><br></div>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr">Joost Schouppe</div><div dir="ltr"><a href="http://www.openstreetmap.org/user/joost%20schouppe/" target="_blank">OpenStreetMap</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/joostjakob" target="_blank">Twitter</a> | <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/pub/joost-schouppe/48/939/603" target="_blank">LinkedIn</a> | <a href="http://www.meetup.com/OpenStreetMap-Belgium/members/97979802/" target="_blank">Meetup</a></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
