[Belgium] News from ICA

[Moritz Lennert]

Hi everyone,

I've just got feedback from yesterday's meeting of the Belgian section 
of the International Cartographic Association (ICA) :

- They cannot support us financially, nor with human resources, but they 
would like to disseminate the infos concerning FOSS4G-be amongst their 
members with a call for further dissemination within each member's 
institution.

- On the basis of an experience at UCL of this April, there is a 
proposal to launch an OSM mapathon in support of 
http://www.missingmaps.org/. This would take place on one day during the 
coming academic year and ideally be a coordinated action in all 
universities, inviting students to participate.

I think that we could possibly propose our support to the later in 
combination with OSM-be ? I don't know, yet, what this would mean 
concretely, but (brainstorming) possibly  a presence of OSGeo-be members 
to technically support the action.
