[Belgium] Collaboration between OSGeo.be and a Free GIS training at ULB ?

[Moritz Lennert]

Hi Maëlle,

You obviously have my support, but I think you could facilitate decision making on this by explaining what such a partnership would imply for OSGeo.be, i.e. what would we commit to.

Have a nice day,
Moritz
