[OSGeo-Discuss] OSGeo Belgium update

[Johan Van de Wauw]

Hi all,

As was previously announced on this list[1], we had a first meeting of
"OSGeo Belgium" last week on Wednesday.

A full report of the meeting can be found on the OSGeo wiki[2].
Our goals are in line with the goals of OSGeo:
* Community-building and networking
* Organisation of events
* Lobbying
* Networking with other OSGeos (notably OSGeo-fr and OSGeo.nl)
* Support to higher levels of OSGeo
* Possibly: OSGeo focal point for EU-related activities

Our first concrete goal is to try organising a one day event "FOSS4G
Belgium" in October/November, where we could officialy launch an OSGeo
Belgium chapter.

In the meantime it would be useful to have an OSGeo Belgium
mailinglist so everyone interested can join our discussions!

Kind Regards,
Johan
