Maybe a euroland chapter? Or a gitmo nation lowlands chapter?

In the morning!

>> 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
