[Osmf-talk] OSMF Business Card

[Michael Kugelmann]

FYI: in the past I used these OSM flyers for that purpose. And it worked
well. Even once many years ago when stopped by the German police in my
car in a "allgemeine Verkehrskontrolle" (general traffic control) =>
they were just curious what I was doing as I passed them "15 times". And
the explanation using the flyer picked from my glove box worked well.


BR,
Michael.
