[OSM-talk] FOSSGIS 2010, March 2-5, in Osnabrueck, Germany

[Milo van der Linden]

I would have loved to come, but unfortunately I signed up for the 
galileo application days http://www.application-days.eu/ that are set on 
exactly the same days in Bruxelles, Belgium.

Kind regards,

Milo van der Linden
