-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 I'd love to participate and it happens that I am in my native Finland most of July. Also my fellow HOTtie Yohan (CC'd; from France) is interested to participate. He'd be able to make it during the last 2 weeks of July. For me the last 3 wks of July are ok. I have added your names and your preferred dates to the poll at http://doodle.com/anddmr2kpxwnmv77 . If there are sufficiently developers coming to the conference it could be interesting to discuss development needs of personalized/POI/clickable maps. I'm not a developer but highly interested in the topic. Yohan is the developer umap (see eg. http://umap.openstreetmap.fr). I'm also interested in this topic, so I would be happy to join a discussion. -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://www.enigmail.net/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJRa57jAAoJEPvf9RrsekSyt7gH/1OR1BDnbPjlYAfFPl6XyJ0U +Am11lNDoPrbrLE4+UjH60Zai8dmsOAgPj774NA4t86OR7yWdy/dfhDGfj/qdMTm hv0lMxoTjI/M+TLWZq/ROT4Rs1O/YznArUBeCBkH2n+UeHafXeMXyMEXHSZ7mgNE oQ9Qst2+NqD7kFvZyrN+3q/bPHNnit0aM3Uwgi3Cq7Pgnt3uZUk/nB3V/ZHI3fVc 79fhlaVmc80RSKGJvwbKTuqaCBr6lRtu4JmKPKh62EeenPXBwTlx3wlCwzSpIQom fflsEhPMp3tnuKGZ98mbSQVe6sLsmstCqa51IFpFhUyicJaOaHihcAhfEeUqQr0= =rgdQ -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ Talk-ee mailing list Talk-ee@openstreetmap.org http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk-ee
