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.
Please introduce yourself My name is Jonathan Beliën, I am a web developer specialized in digital mapping. I live in Brussels since my childhood and I just love this great city. You can find me on just about all social networks under the pseudonym “jbelien” (very original, I agree). I am also a photographer (very) amateur and (huge) fan of LEGO.

Please introduce yourself My name is Gaurav Thapa and I am currently employed as a Geographer/Project Manager at Kathmandu Living Labs in Nepal. I currently live in Pokhara, Nepal but also spend a considerable amount of time in my hometown of Kathmandu, Nepal. Travelling and seeing new places continues to be one of my great passions and mapping has allowed me to travel to places where I will never be able to go physically.

Let’s go outside for a change and map the trees of the arboretum of Heverlee as precisely as we can. I’ll print some maps on paper of what is already there, so we can compare and verify.
Open bike data and maps are part of the solution towards more bike-friendly cities. The good thing is… you as a citizen can help improve these data and maps! On July 21st, Open Knowledge Belgium is organizing in partnership with the Brussels-Capital Region and OpenStreetMap Belgium, a full-day event of talks and workshops on how to create, edit and share open bike data and maps with OpenStreetMap.
Who are you? I’m Jamie Nadeau. In OSM some people might know me more as LogicalViolinist and on the wiki as james2432. I grew up a bit here and there as we moved a lot when I was younger, some notable places being Kingston, North Bay, Ottawa and Gatineau. My back ground is computer science and am currently working in my field in the Ottawa Valley.
