+1.
Concreteley this probably means that we ask how we can help. This is a
great opportunity to get to know other peer OSGeo-be members :-)

I suggest to discuss this during our meeting next friday. A possible
action could be an OSGeo presentation. About OSGeo, but also about the
relationship of OSGeo and ICA and/or OSM-be.

For OSM-be: the state-of-the-map coming to Brussels next year: we should
definitely promote OSGeo-be; eventually organizing a track about OSGeo /
OSM what are the relationships, how we cross-feed each other, how we can
strengthen the cooperation.
