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

[Dirk Frigne]

Hi Barend,

I already replied to the mail yesterday [1]
As we live in a country with multiple languages spoken, I don't see a
problem with that.

Of course, when we want to organise a Dutch speaking event for Foss4G-Be
in the future, I expect we also can use the doamin name for that event.
But last year, for OSGeoGenth [2], we also organized the event in
English, with as a result we had French speaking, English speaking,
Spanish speaking, German speaking and of course, the majority, Dutch
speaking attendees.
It was the geomajas community who provided the infrastructure for the
website and the agenda. [3]

Regards,
D.
