The invitation from Open Knowledge Belgium to join them as a working group, giving us the structure we needed without all the overhead, came at the perfect time. - -From then until now we have been actively supporting OpenStreetMap by co-organizing FOSS4G Belgium, the Open Belgium yearly conference, meetups, mapathons and many other OSM related events. This all escalated a bit with the organizing of [State of the Map in 2016](https://2016.stateofthemap.org/), which was a great boost for our community. - -We are very happy to be able to join the [OpenStreetMap Foundation](https://osmfoundation.org/) as a local chapter and we hope we can have continued positive impact on the OpenStreetMap project both on a local level and internationally.
