[HOT] Fwd: [OpenStreetMap] Student Survey Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team Goethe-University Frankfurt

[Katja Ulbert]

Hi John,

it wasn´t my intention to falsify their results;-) But the request 
didn´t come from HOT itself, so I wanted to check if anybody knew about 
it. I have never given my email or contact data to this university. They 
are registered as a HOT user and send me a message.

Regards

Katja
