Salut à tous.

C'est une excellente idée. J’adhère et je veux bien m'engager quelques heures par mois ..

une telle association qui constituerait un interlocuteur visible pour les institutions pourrait faire avancer en suisse la libération des données publiques 
comme par example négocier avec Swisstopo une utilisation plus souple des ortho-photo ...

En attendant je ne suis pas sur malheureusement de pouvoir venir samedi.

A+

I apologize for hijacking this thread (and for using English, but my French is simply lousy).

At the Zürich "Stammtisch" we have repeatedly discussed the idea of creating a Swiss
OSM association which could help with

+ running (a) server(s) with Swiss projects (not only from a financial and organisational point of
  view, but more important: helping to protect individuals from legal and financial liabilities)

+ acting as a formal contract party for data providers (swisstopo and so on)

+ and potentially be a local chapter of the OSMF

I should point out that I have a rather long personal history with activities in associations and at one
point in time promised myself that I would never help founding one again :-). However after attending
the OpenData conference today in Berne, I must say that having a minimal formal organisational
base would really help.

I would also like to make clear, that in my vision such an association would be very non-intrusive and
light weight.

If you have time at your meeting, I would be very interested in feedback from the French-speaking
part of Switzerland (and naturally from everybody else too).


Simon
