[OSGeo-Discuss] [Board-fr] Free GIS Day November 6, 2014 OSGéo - IGEAT (ULB) ­ Brussels (Belgium)

[b.j.kobben at utwente.nl]

Nasty question from a Dutch (Netherlands) member of OSGEO.nl: Have you
consulted the Flemish OSGEO community about claiming the .be (=Belgium)
suffix for a French/Wallonic speaking event...?

Sorry, but I feel it has to be asked...
