[Osmf-talk] OSM-F membership growth

[John McKerrell]

Hm.. I thought I'd replied yesterday to Lulu-Ann but apparently not.  
If people wanted to order their own cards from an OSMF website which  
included a template, by default Moo will give 10% back to the  
originating site anyway. I say by default but I think you do have to  
let them know in advance. Moo quite often offer discounts too though  
if they were giving 10% to OSMF perhaps they wouldn't. Worth asking.
