[Osmf-talk] Donating via transferwise

[Guillaume Rischard]

Hi John,

Thank you for donating! As someone with a slightly long full name, I feel your pain. The OSM username is fine, and in any case, we got your name in the transfer.

The name in the reference helps us find transfers again more easily.

Thank you again,

Guillaume
OSMF Treasurer
