[okfn-be] Idea for Open Belgium 2015 - data portal for Namur

Wed Nov 19 15:44:34 UTC 2014

Hi Jean-Baptiste,

Nice to hear we actually have people from Namur on the mailinglist ;)

I'll add you to the list of people to contact from the moment we decide 
to go on with this idea :)

Would you be able to find a space for free for approx. 10 people in Namur?

Kind regards,

Pieter
