> Dear list,
>
> Following some contacts I had since FOSDEM 2015, I think there is some
> opportunity to start with a local chapter in Belgium.
> There is already the .nl (dutch speaking chapter)[1] and the .fr (french
> speaking chapter)[2], but a local chapter has other benifits (bringing
> OSGeo closer to the local people).
>
> We want to organize a physical meeting with the local OSGeo people in
> Belgium to see if there is enough critical mass and interest to start
> with a local chapter.
>
> I also talked with Pieter Colpaert[3] in cc, active in the open
> knowledge foundation in Belgium. As they have already a legal non profit
> structure, where also the local chapter of OSM Belgium [4] has a place,
> we cooperate with this organisation and become also a working group
> under the umbrella of the open knowledge foundation.
>
> So 2 questions to the community:
>
> 1. Do you agree with the fact that we investigate how we can join forces
> with the open knowledge foundation Belgium to start up the Belgium
> chapter of OSGeo
>
> 2. Who is interested to Join a physical meeting in Brussels to find out
> if there is support for a OSGeo Belgium Chapter?
> For this second question, you may mail me directly, so we don't over
> post this list.
> I'll send out a doodle end of the week to the list, but will also
> include everybody showing interest.
>
> thanks in advance for your reaction,
> Dirk
