[talk-ph] finally met murlwe last friday and some thoughts we discussed

[Marloue Pidor]

Indeed its a good 2-hour conversation. +A mini-conference is a good idea
we can share our ideas on how to use OSM in any way we can. As if an
"OSM Philippines Conference" this can be a way to promote OSM to
Filipinos.

Art and George and the rest of you guys what do you think?

Best,

murlwe
