We’re doing another Missing Maps mapathon at the MSF offices in Brussels. If you’re coming to meet other OSM volunteers or want to help out, please register on the Meetup page. If you just want to map and be left alone, register on the Eventbrite page.
First of all, we are proud to announce that the “Mapper of the Month” series exists 3 years now! This time we have a duo-interview: Horea Meleg and Florin Badita. They both work for Telenav in Romenia. I hope you enjoy reading how paid mappers collaborate in our community. Can you present yourselves?

Let’s build a community with everybody interested in OpenStreetMap! We’ll be coming to get together again in the city of Antwerp and talk about OpenStreetMap and other interesting stuff with some beers or other beverages. Everybody is welcome, whether you’ve been mapping for ten years, or you just encountered OpenStreetMap somewhere and you want to know more.

We get together to discuss OpenStreetMap.org and related topics. This time we talk about how to render a map from OpenStreetMap data. I will use “Pad van Ad” in Heverleebos/Meerdaalwoud as an example for exploring the possibilities of Maperitive, maybe QGIS too. There are 7 computers and a projector available. There are also login codes for the wireless network, if you prefer to bring your own computer.

At OpenStreetMap Belgium, we want to be the first to map new things. That’s not just because we like doing that, but also to offer the best service to our data users. And it has an implication for local government too. Embracing global platforms - but only if you can shape them In the age of the smart city, the local government is at risk of losing control.
