[KRUWIALIS Gael]

Hi Joost,

Thank you this publicity on your networks
Some information about our source, actually Dewey (a local association in brussels, http://dewey.be/dewey-maps/ ) have collect point information, this would be the major contribution; some of them could be usefull for NGO who work around this target thematic.
it is possible that local NGO  could give certain of their resource.
The finality is to consolidate all this information’s and to perennialize it in a single source.
We are conscious of the constraint quality and will take care of it by supervising the various participants.
Julien Fastrée, will be there to draw the attention of the participants, but if other contributors are available they are welcome.

Hi,

I just added this event to the Belgian Meetup calendar, see http://meetu.ps/e/BjHFr/fnQ6Y/apiand
There's over 150 members, so hopefully some of them will come. I also shared the invite on the Belgium OSM talk list (Johan did so too, more recently). I know at least one of our members already signed up.

As an OpenStreetMap member, I absolutely applaud this effort. However, I still would like some more detailed info about the source of the data you will add to OSM, which kinds of objects would be added,  etc. Obviously, licensing has to be compatible, or an explicit permission has to be granted by the data providers. The data quality has to be really high. Measures have to be taken to solve conflicts between existing and new data. Tagging schemes may have to be investigated or extended to ensure data usability afterwards. Failure to do any of these things might cause removal of the new data.
I'm sure there are people in the team who are well aware of all this.  But it would be nice if you could share the info with the Belgian OSM community. A good place would be in this thread on the Belgian talk list: https://lists.openstreetmap.org/pipermail/talk-be/2016-February/008395.html

All the best,
Joost

(I hope this message falls into the correct thread...)
