[Talk-us] Operation Cowboy - Progress/Todo

[Jim McAndrew]

Paul,

Martijn had suggested contacting the local library and seeing if you can
reserve a study room or something like that.

If you can't pull something together this weekend (it's not really a good
weekend for get togethers in the US), I would love to attend a mapping
party in OK in the future. So planning a mapping party in the future could
also be a good idea.
