[OSGeo-Discuss] [Board-fr] Free GIS Day November 6, 2014 OSGéo - IGEAT (ULB) Brussels (Belgium)

Wed Sep 3 00:31:39 PDT 2014

OSGeoBrussels seems a very good name for your event. Maybe even more
appropriate then Foss4G in this stage.

As an FOSS4G conference is normally first announced, and then a call for
papers is organized, which is evaluated by a organizational comity.
OSGeoBrussels could be a good name to get an insight in the community in
and around Brussels.

I suggest we organize in 2015 a FOSS4G_BE together (French and Dutch
speeking communities.
We can involve OSGeo.fr and OSGeo.nl in this event and work on a
stronger local community in the Belgium area.

We are working on a proposal to have a devroom on FOSDEM2015. This good
be a good place to discuss the organisation of the FOSS4G_BE 2015 event.

I think we could announce both initiatives on the general assemble in
Portland next week, so OSGeo knows about the local initiatives.

Best Regards
D.
