FOSDEM is a free event for software developers to meet, share ideas and collaborate. Every year, thousands of developers of free and open source software from all over the world gather at the event in Brussels. The Geospatial devroom is the place to talk about the state of the art of open, geo-related data, free and open source geospatial software and its ecosystem.
Translation by Escada and Koninklijke. Who are you? I am Guirec Halflants. I am originally from Brussels but live in Arlon at the moment. I always have been passionate about maps and I travel a lot using maps during the summer evenings. Later on, I invested in the Time Atlas of the World, which is outdated in the meantime.

Lots of conversation happens in our chat room. The volume is so high, it’s hard to keep up. And it’s easy to forget about issues that were raised. So Tim started making this weekly summary. Have a look at our channels page for more info about joining the chat or other ways to reach us.

Who are you ? I’m a OSM mapper from Brazil. I started studying programming by myself at the same time I got involved with OpenStreetMap. It lead me to focus my career on development of GIS applications. Besides work, I dedicate most of my time to the DeROSE Method, it’s a high performance and life quality methodology.

Can Ünen username: unen Who are you? I’m a university lecturer in Istanbul, with a B.Sc. in civil engineering and a Ph.D. in geomatics. I’m the chairman of board and one of the founding members of Yer Çizenler (a made up term not used daily in Turkish, directly translating to “geographers”), an association for everyone who wants to learn how to map in OpenStreetMap, contribute to the map by joining millions worldwide, and utilize user generated open geospatial data in humanitarian context in Turkey.

Zeus WPI - the student working group of UGent - has invited me to give a small workshop on tweaking the routing engine of OsmAnd. After a small introduction, we’ll try to get the things working on our phones. This meetup is geared toward people with some technical background. You’ve should at least have edited an XML file before and know what a tag-value pair on OSM is.
Everyone enthusiastic or interested in creating maps with OpenStreetMap and opensource is welcome! We’ll talk about all kind of topics, answer your questions, …
The first hour will be an official meeting. That means it is intended for official members and there will be actual voting (both offline and online). You can register to be a member on osm.be and will get an invite if you did that before. After 8 it turns into a regular meetup, where the target audience is everybody!
