[H-ADMIN] OpenStreetMap talk at HUMBUG

[matheist76 at westnet.com.au]

Greg I was already viewing the email and was just about to respond. You should have at least allow the Exec time to answer before you sent a response. You of all people should know that. I don't agree with you saying that the talk should be on the 7th. 

I was going to suggest that both dates would be fine and that I would place a booking for both dates and let him decide which one he wanted. 

Matt.

This sounds like just the thing for Humbug.  I've already
proposed to David that we do it on the 7th August date and I'm
hoping the management will agree :)

Cheers, Greg
