[osm-hu] Fwd: [OSM-dev] ANNOUNCEMENT: T at H server will go away end of February

[Ferenc Veres]

Ez vajon azt is jelenti, hogy az "Osmarender" réteg megszűnik? Tudtommal
azt ez rajzolta. http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tiles@Home

Pedig az olyan szép réteg volt!

Köszi a hír továbbításokat, hasznos!
