It<br /> was a great opportunity for Belgium OSGeo members to meet each other and<br /> start talking about organizing ourselves a bit more, so actions in<br /> Belgium can be better supported. Belgium is, as a country divided in at<br /> least 3 speaking languages and 3 official languages. The active OSGeo<br /> community members today are either active in the [http://osgeo.nl/ OSGeo.nl], the [http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Francophone OSGeo.fr]<br /> or in several OSGeo communities.<br /> <br /> However, OSGeo-nl and OSGeo-fr are language-oriented communities with<br /> their geographical weight centred in respectively the Netherlands and<br /> France, and the separation by language has impeded on any specific<br /> Belgian activities, notably networking and lobbying with administrations<br /> that are bilingual on some levels of governance.

Later we will take a deeper dive with Thomas Gratier, one of the authors of the OpenLayers 3 Beginners guide.<br /> <br /> OpenLayers 3 is a JavaScript based library for web mapping, published under BSD license. It groups a set of functionalities to create both lightweight web mapping applications and more heavy web mapping applications for advanced usages. It enables display of geographic features (markers, lines, polygons) with custom styles, most of the time with background maps services from various sources (including OpenStreetMap). It manages all interactions to select, draw geographic entities, display, measure geographic coordinates and manage different Earth representations using cartographic projections.<br /> <br /> The event will happen at BEL in Brussels (those who were at FOSS4G.be will remember the place), next monday 18 april at 19:00 until 22:00.

It enables display of geographic features (markers, lines, polygons) with custom styles, most of the time with background maps services from various sources (including OpenStreetMap). It manages all interactions to select, draw geographic entities, display, measure geographic coordinates and manage different Earth representations using cartographic projections.<br /> <br /> The event will happen at BEL in Brussels (those who were at FOSS4G.be will remember the place), next monday 18 april at 19:00 until 22:00.

We believe it is important to meet people face2face. To help them to start open source initiatives, to start using open source solutions, to establish an eco-system that benefits from the cooperation, the sharing and the co-creation open source delivers.<br /> <br /> * Lobbying<br /> : We think it is important to speak as one voice, and to get involved with other organisations: administrations, industries, user groups, ... OSGeo. Be will actively speak as an organisation to defend the OSGeo open source spirit in the broader Belgium community (government, academic, industry, other open initiatives).<br /> <br /> * Networking with other OSGeos (notably OSGeo-fr and OSGeo.nl)<br /> : OSGeo Belgium will focus on local activities (Belgium based). OSGeo Belgium will advertise and promote other OSGeo initiatives and invite members of the other OSGeo chapters on the Belgium events or meetings.<br /> : We think that OSGeo Belgium can act as a bridge between several language communities and cultures, because of it's unique composition.<br /> <br /> * Support to higher levels of OSGeo<br /> : We believe that OSGeo only can grow if supported from the base. So OSGeo Belgium is willing to help OSGeo where necessary, to leverage idea's or act as an advisor if appreciated.<br /> <br /> * Support to OSGeo in lobbying European Union Institutions (Commission, Parliament, etc) related to specific EU-Themes (INSPIRE, H2020, Procurement policy, ...)<br /> <br /> ==Articles of association==<br /> [http://www.ejustice.just.fgov.be/tsv_pdf/2015/10/21/15317365.pdf Our official statutes (in french) can be found here].<br /> <br /> ==Members==<br /> <br /> ===Becoming an OSGeo Belgium member===<br /> Everybody is free to join the Belgian local chapter, all you have to do is add your name to the list of members.

We believe it is important to meet people face2face. To help them to start open source initiatives, to start using open source solutions, to establish an eco-system that benefits from the cooperation, the sharing and the co-creation open source delivers.<br /> <br /> * Lobbying<br /> : We think it is important to speak as one voice, and to get involved with other organisations: administrations, industries, user groups, ... OSGeo. Be will actively speak as an organisation to defend the OSGeo open source spirit in the broader Belgium community (government, academic, industry, other open initiatives).<br /> <br /> * Networking with other OSGeos (notably OSGeo-fr and OSGeo.nl)<br /> : OSGeo Belgium will focus on local activities (Belgium based). OSGeo Belgium will advertise and promote other OSGeo initiatives and invite members of the other OSGeo chapters on the Belgium events or meetings.<br /> : We think that OSGeo Belgium can act as a bridge between several language communities and cultures, because of it's unique composition.<br /> <br /> * Support to higher levels of OSGeo<br /> : We believe that OSGeo only can grow if supported from the base. So OSGeo Belgium is willing to help OSGeo where necessary, to leverage idea's or act as an advisor if appreciated.<br /> <br /> * Support to OSGeo in lobbying European Union Institutions (Commission, Parliament, etc) related to specific EU-Themes (INSPIRE, H2020, Procurement policy, ...)<br /> <br /> ==Articles of association==<br /> [http://www.ejustice.just.fgov.be/tsv_pdf/2015/10/21/15317365.pdf Our official statutes (in french) can be found here].<br /> <br /> ==Members==<br /> <br /> ===Becoming an OSGeo Belgium member===<br /> Everybody is free to join the Belgian local chapter, all you have to do is add your name to the list of members.

It<br /> was a great opportunity for Belgium OSGeo members to meet each other and<br /> start talking about organizing ourselves a bit more, so actions in<br /> Belgium can be better supported.

Later we will take a deeper dive with Thomas Gratier, one of the authors of the OpenLayers 3 Beginners guide.<br /> <br /> OpenLayers 3 is a JavaScript based library for web mapping, published under BSD license. It groups a set of functionalities to create both lightweight web mapping applications and more heavy web mapping applications for advanced usages. It enables display of geographic features (markers, lines, polygons) with custom styles, most of the time with background maps services from various sources (including OpenStreetMap). It manages all interactions to select, draw geographic entities, display, measure geographic coordinates and manage different Earth representations using cartographic projections.<br /> <br /> The event will happen at BEL in Brussels (those who were at FOSS4G.be will remember the place), next monday 18 april at 19:00 until 22:00.

La fondation fournit une aide financière, organisationnelle et légale à l'immense communauté open-source de ce domaine. En outre, elle sert d'entité légale indépendante à laquelle les membres de la communauté peuvent contribuer (développements informatiques, dons, autres ressources) tout en ayant l'assurance que leurs contributions resteront au bénéfice de tous. Aussi, l'OSGeo sert d'assistance et de défense pour la communauté géospatiale libre, et fournit un forum commun et une infrastructure partagée pour améliorer la collaboration entre ses différents projets.<br /> <br /> Les projets de la fondation sont tous librement disponibles et utilisables sous une licence open source certifiée par l'OSI.<br /> <br /> == Pourquoi sponsoriser l'OSGeo ==<br /> <br /> * Votre organisation dépend d'un logiciel de l'OSGeo<br /> <br /> Votre entreprise ou votre institution utilise des technologies de l'OSGeo dans son travail quotidien, ce qui lui permet d'être compétitive et de fournir des services d'une manière rentable. En soutenant l'OSGeo, vous soutenez votre propre activité à long terme sachant qu'une OSGeo solide soutient vos projets.<br /> <br /> * Vous représentez une communauté qui a adopté les logiciels de l'OSGeo<br /> <br /> Des communautés représentant un large éventail de domaines, allant des associations de professionnels aux organisations non-gouvernementales, tirent profit des logiciels de l'OSGeo qui sont un composant critique de leurs produits finaux. Il y a un intérêt à ce que votre communauté s'assure de la pérennité du logiciel utilisé. En sponsorisant l'OSGeo, vous montrez votre soutien au logiciel choisi par vos membres.<br /> <br /> * Vos objectifs sont similaires à ceux de l'OSGeo concernant le soutien aux standards ouverts ou à d'autres priorités<br /> <br /> Aidez votre propre organisation à atteindre ses objectifs en sponsorisant l'OSGeo en tant qu'organisation proche de la votre et bénéficiez des actions volontaristes d'une communauté mondiale prenant rapidement de l'ampleur.<br /> <br /> * Montrez votre leadership dans les technologies open source en géomatique<br /> <br /> En sponsorisant l'OSGeo vous allez associer votre entreprise aux activités de milliers d'utilisateurs de logiciels de l'OSGeo à travers le monde. En tant que sponsor de l'OSGeo, vous allez lier la croissance de votre entreprise à l'élan impulsé par l'OSGeo dans le monde professionnel.<br /> <br /> * Profitez des opportunités de mise en réseau<br /> <br /> En tant que sponsor de l'OSGeo, vous allez bénéficier d'opportunités uniques de rencontrer et partager vos idées avec des membres clés de l'OSGeo, avec d'autres sponsors de l'OSGeo et avec les personnes et les organisations affiliées à l'OSGeo.<br /> <br /> == OSGeo-BE ==<br /> <br /> Le naissant chapitre belge de l'OSGeo a pour but de transposer les missions générales de l'OSGeo au contexte belge en organisant des événements de réseautage et d'information.<br /> <br /> [[Category:Belgium]]<br /> [[Category:FOSS4G Belgium 2017]]<br /> [[Category:Events]]</div>

We believe it is important to meet people face2face. To help them to start open source initiatives, to start using open source solutions, to establish an eco-system that benefits from the cooperation, the sharing and the co-creation open source delivers.<br /> <br /> * Lobbying<br /> : We think it is important to speak as one voice, and to get involved with other organisations: administrations, industries, user groups, ... OSGeo. Be will actively speak as an organisation to defend the OSGeo open source spirit in the broader Belgium community (government, academic, industry, other open initiatives).<br /> <br /> * Networking with other OSGeos (notably OSGeo-fr and OSGeo.nl)<br /> : OSGeo Belgium will focus on local activities (Belgium based). OSGeo Belgium will advertise and promote other OSGeo initiatives and invite members of the other OSGeo chapters on the Belgium events or meetings.<br /> : We think that OSGeo Belgium can act as a bridge between several language communities and cultures, because of it's unique composition.<br /> <br /> * Support to higher levels of OSGeo<br /> : We believe that OSGeo only can grow if supported from the base. So OSGeo Belgium is willing to help OSGeo where necessary, to leverage idea's or act as an advisor if appreciated.<br /> <br /> * Support to OSGeo in lobbying European Union Institutions (Commission, Parliament, etc) related to specific EU-Themes (INSPIRE, H2020, Procurement policy, ...)<br /> <br /> ==Articles of association==<br /> [http://www.ejustice.just.fgov.be/tsv_pdf/2015/10/21/15317365.pdf Our official statutes (in french) can be found here].<br /> <br /> ==Members==<br /> <br /> ===Becoming an OSGeo Belgium member===<br /> Everybody is free to join the Belgian local chapter, all you have to do is add your name to the list of members.

It groups a set of functionalities to create both lightweight web mapping applications and more heavy web mapping applications for advanced usages. It enables display of geographic features (markers, lines, polygons) with custom styles, most of the time with background maps services from various sources (including OpenStreetMap). It manages all interactions to select, draw geographic entities, display, measure geographic coordinates and manage different Earth representations using cartographic projections.<br /> <br /> The event will happen at BEL in Brussels (those who were at FOSS4G.be will remember the place), next monday 18 april at 19:00 until 22:00.

It groups a set of functionalities to create both lightweight web mapping applications and more heavy web mapping applications for advanced usages. It enables display of geographic features (markers, lines, polygons) with custom styles, most of the time with background maps services from various sources (including OpenStreetMap). It manages all interactions to select, draw geographic entities, display, measure geographic coordinates and manage different Earth representations using cartographic projections.<br /> <br /> The event will happen at BEL in Brussels (those who were at FOSS4G.be will remember the place), next monday 18 april at 19:00 until 22:00.

We believe it is important to meet people face2face. To help them to start open source initiatives, to start using open source solutions, to establish an eco-system that benefits from the cooperation, the sharing and the co-creation open source delivers.<br /> <br /> * Lobbying<br /> : We think it is important to speak as one voice, and to get involved with other organisations: administrations, industries, user groups, ... OSGeo. Be will actively speak as an organisation to defend the OSGeo open source spirit in the broader Belgium community (government, academic, industry, other open initiatives).<br /> <br /> * Networking with other OSGeos (notably OSGeo-fr and OSGeo.nl)<br /> : OSGeo Belgium will focus on local activities (Belgium based). OSGeo Belgium will advertise and promote other OSGeo initiatives and invite members of the other OSGeo chapters on the Belgium events or meetings.<br /> : We think that OSGeo Belgium can act as a bridge between several language communities and cultures, because of it's unique composition.<br /> <br /> * Support to higher levels of OSGeo<br /> : We believe that OSGeo only can grow if supported from the base. So OSGeo Belgium is willing to help OSGeo where necessary, to leverage idea's or act as an advisor if appreciated.<br /> <br /> * Support to OSGeo in lobbying European Union Institutions (Commission, Parliament, etc) related to specific EU-Themes (INSPIRE, H2020, Procurement policy, ...)<br /> <br /> ==Articles of association==<br /> [http://www.ejustice.just.fgov.be/tsv_pdf/2015/10/21/15317365.pdf Our official statutes (in french) can be found here].<br /> <br /> ==Members==<br /> <br /> ===Becoming an OSGeo Belgium member===<br /> Everybody is free to join the Belgian local chapter, all you have to do is add your name to the list of members.

It groups a set of functionalities to create both lightweight web mapping applications and more heavy web mapping applications for advanced usages. It enables display of geographic features (markers, lines, polygons) with custom styles, most of the time with background maps services from various sources (including OpenStreetMap). It manages all interactions to select, draw geographic entities, display, measure geographic coordinates and manage different Earth representations using cartographic projections.<br /> <br /> The event will happen at BEL in Brussels (those who were at FOSS4G.be will remember the place), next monday 18 april at 19:00 until 22:00.

It groups a set of functionalities to create both lightweight web mapping applications and more heavy web mapping applications for advanced usages. It enables display of geographic features (markers, lines, polygons) with custom styles, most of the time with background maps services from various sources (including OpenStreetMap). It manages all interactions to select, draw geographic entities, display, measure geographic coordinates and manage different Earth representations using cartographic projections.<br /> <br /> The event will happen at BEL in Brussels (those who were at FOSS4G.be will remember the place), next monday 18 april at 19:00 until 22:00.

We believe it is important to meet people face2face. To help them to start open source initiatives, to start using open source solutions, to establish an eco-system that benefits from the cooperation, the sharing and the co-creation open source delivers.<br /> <br /> * Lobbying<br /> : We think it is important to speak as one voice, and to get involved with other organisations: administrations, industries, user groups, ... OSGeo. Be will actively speak as an organisation to defend the OSGeo open source spirit in the broader Belgium community (government, academic, industry, other open initiatives).<br /> <br /> * Networking with other OSGeos (notably OSGeo-fr and OSGeo.nl)<br /> : OSGeo Belgium will focus on local activities (Belgium based). OSGeo Belgium will advertise and promote other OSGeo initiatives and invite members of the other OSGeo chapters on the Belgium events or meetings.<br /> : We think that OSGeo Belgium can act as a bridge between several language communities and cultures, because of it's unique composition.<br /> <br /> * Support to higher levels of OSGeo<br /> : We believe that OSGeo only can grow if supported from the base. So OSGeo Belgium is willing to help OSGeo where necessary, to leverage idea's or act as an advisor if appreciated.<br /> <br /> * Support to OSGeo in lobbying European Union Institutions (Commission, Parliament, etc) related to specific EU-Themes (INSPIRE, H2020, Procurement policy, ...)<br /> <br /> ==Articles of association==<br /> [http://www.ejustice.just.fgov.be/tsv_pdf/2015/10/21/15317365.pdf Our official statutes (in french) can be found here].<br /> <br /> ==Members==<br /> <br /> ===Becoming an OSGeo Belgium member===<br /> Everybody is free to join the Belgian local chapter, all you have to do is add your name to the list of members.

We believe it is important to meet people face2face. To help them to start open source initiatives, to start using open source solutions, to establish an eco-system that benefits from the cooperation, the sharing and the co-creation open source delivers.<br /> <br /> * Lobbying<br /> : We think it is important to speak as one voice, and to get involved with other organisations: administrations, industries, user groups, ... OSGeo. Be will actively speak as an organisation to defend the OSGeo open source spirit in the broader Belgium community (government, academic, industry, other open initiatives).<br /> <br /> * Networking with other OSGeos (notably OSGeo-fr and OSGeo.nl)<br /> : OSGeo Belgium will focus on local activities (Belgium based). OSGeo Belgium will advertise and promote other OSGeo initiatives and invite members of the other OSGeo chapters on the Belgium events or meetings.<br /> : We think that OSGeo Belgium can act as a bridge between several language communities and cultures, because of it's unique composition.<br /> <br /> * Support to higher levels of OSGeo<br /> : We believe that OSGeo only can grow if supported from the base. So OSGeo Belgium is willing to help OSGeo where necessary, to leverage idea's or act as an advisor if appreciated.<br /> <br /> * Support to OSGeo in lobbying European Union Institutions (Commission, Parliament, etc) related to specific EU-Themes (INSPIRE, H2020, Procurement policy, ...)<br /> <br /> ==Articles of association==<br /> [http://www.ejustice.just.fgov.be/tsv_pdf/2015/10/21/15317365.pdf Our official statutes (in french) can be found here].<br /> <br /> ==Members==<br /> <br /> ===Becoming an OSGeo Belgium member===<br /> Everybody is free to join the Belgian local chapter, all you have to do is add your name to the list of members.

It<br /> was a great opportunity for Belgium OSGeo members to meet each other and<br /> start talking about organizing ourselves a bit more, so actions in<br /> Belgium can be better supported.

It manages all interactions to select, draw geographic entities, display, measure geographic coordinates and manage different Earth representations using cartographic projections.<br /> <br /> The event will happen at BEL in Brussels (those who were at FOSS4G.be will remember the place), next monday 18 april at 19:00 until 22:00.

It<br /> was a great opportunity for Belgium OSGeo members to meet each other and<br /> start talking about organizing ourselves a bit more, so actions in<br /> Belgium can be better supported. Belgium is, as a country divided in at<br /> least 3 speaking languages and 3 official languages. The active OSGeo<br /> community members today are either active in the [http://osgeo.nl/ OSGeo.nl], the [http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Francophone OSGeo.fr]<br /> or in several OSGeo communities.<br /> <br /> However, OSGeo-nl and OSGeo-fr are language-oriented communities with<br /> their geographical weight centred in respectively the Netherlands and<br /> France, and the separation by language has impeded on any specific<br /> Belgian activities, notably networking and lobbying with administrations<br /> that are bilingual on some levels of governance. Thus the need arose to<br /> provide a specific Belgian forum.<br /> <br /> In the past there where already some OSGeo local activities:<br /> * [http://www.geomajas.org/osgeogent2013 OSGeoGhent] - 13 June 2013<br /> * [http://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/FOSDEM2014 FOSDEM2014] - booth 1 &amp; 2 Februari 2014<br /> * [http://be-opengis.ulb.ac.be/ Be-OpenGIS-Fr] - 6 November 2014 <br /> * [http://www.osgeo.org/node/1488 FOSDEM2015]- devroom - 31 Jan; 1 Februari 201<br /> <br /> In 2015 we (OSGeoBE) organised the first [[Belgium/FOSS4G]]<br /> on 29 October 2015 in Brussels.

The theme will be webmapping and especially Openlayers 3. There will be two speakers, Pierre Marchand of Atelier Cartographique wil give an overview of Webmapping tools. Later we will take a deeper dive with Thomas Gratier, one of the authors of the OpenLayers 3 Beginners guide.<br /> <br /> OpenLayers 3 is a JavaScript based library for web mapping, published under BSD license. It groups a set of functionalities to create both lightweight web mapping applications and more heavy web mapping applications for advanced usages. It enables display of geographic features (markers, lines, polygons) with custom styles, most of the time with background maps services from various sources (including OpenStreetMap). It manages all interactions to select, draw geographic entities, display, measure geographic coordinates and manage different Earth representations using cartographic projections.<br /> <br /> The event will happen at BEL in Brussels (those who were at FOSS4G.be will remember the place), next monday 18 april at 19:00 until 22:00. The event is free.
