[H-ADMIN] OpenStreetMap talk at HUMBUG

[Greg Black]

Matt,

Don't get your panties in a twist about such a trivial thing.  I
was talking with David on IRC because his various attempts to
submit his proposal had failed, due to incorrect information on
the wiki (which I have now corrected).  Since I was helping him
send his proposal, I felt perfectly happy to say that I had a
particular preference.  I'm still happy about that.

Cheers, Greg
