If you can’t attend the Missing Maps mapathon at MSF the week before, if Brussels is a little far for you or if you just can’t get enough, here’s another chance to contribute to OSM in developing countries and/or pass the passion to new volunteers: IPIS is hosting another Mapathon in Antwerp!
We get together to discuss OpenStreetMap.org and related topics.
There are some computers to work on and a projector available. There are also login codes for the wireless network, if you prefer to bring your own computer.
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.
Horea: My name is Horea Meleg, I live in Cluj Napoca. I’m a map analyst at Telenav, and I work here since August 2016. I love playing and watching soccer. I also like to sing, to travel and go hiking. Obvious, I got my nickname (hoream_telenav) from my name and from the company I work for.

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.
After the very succesful FOSS4G Belgium events in 2015 and 2016, OSGeo.be announces the date of the next FOSS4G Belgium Conference: 26 October 2017.

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.

I am Seppe Santens, born and raised in Aalter. I work as project lead at the Mobility department of the city of Ghent. My user name, “L’imaginaire”, is the result of a, perhaps not very successful, search for a dj-name, many years ago. I still create some electronic music from time to time, but most of my free time are spend with my two children…
