Hi Marc,
I have seen you around on the Mapbender user map.
http://wms1.ccgis.de/mapbender2/frames/login.php?name=mb&password=mb&mb_user_myGui=mapbender&mb_myBBOX=-5.43,37.19,4.58,42.2

Currently we are still sorting out internal and international stuff so 
we are not really aware yet of too many activities that happen at 
national levels. If you feel that there is something going on that 
should be addressed by the OSGeo feel free to discuss it here.

Best regards,
Arnulf.
