[Osmf-talk] [OSM-talk] Status of the Local Chapter working group

[Nick Black]

Hi Jochen,

Thanks for updating the page.  We should try and pick things up again  
regarding Local Chapters, especially after the progress we made at SOTM.

How about we set up a call for late next week or early the week after  
with all of the interested parties?  I'm out of the office today, but  
if this sounds good I'll get it set up tomorrow.

(BTW - Agree wrt using OSM-Talk, but I don't have access to my osm- 
talk email account when I'm offline).
