For completeness, I’ll note here that there are also a good number of English folks helping too.

I’ll be there, for sure. I think the proverbial Belgians are actually more Norwegian, German and Swedish, but you’ve certainly got the right idea.

The OpenStreetMap mailing lists and wiki are the best places to find out more about the project. If people can’t make the first weekend of May, I should point out that there’ll be a follow-up project, Mapchester, in Manchester two weeks later.

Would be good to talk about fun things to do with Flickr/Geobloggers and OpenStreetMap… I had a bunch of ideas to do with auto geo-tagging camera phone pictures of street signs etc. and then use those to annotate the maps. Of course, if we go down this route then there’s also an opportunity there to simultaneously geotag and celltag most of the Isle of Wight, and lots of Manchester too, I think. If that floats your boat, please help!
