[Talk-GB] OSM mapping parties/events in London in November

[Kathleen Danielson]

Hi Steve--

I think you're probably right. I mostly just wish my own language skills
were better!

Thanks for that link as well-- I actually just read that book, but hadn't
know about the website! As someone who has studied a bit of geography,
public health, and urban planning, I've always been fascinated by John Snow!

Thanks, everyone, for all of your advice and encouragement! Hope I'm able
to meet up with some of you while I'm in town!

Cheers,
Kathleen
