I think it is a great idea and is the sort of thing a local chapter can be

Richard is right, there is an English language flyer. I believe
Frederik Ramm has it.
If someone can volunteer to mail it that would be great. I'm home

I have room at my house and plenty of experience mailing OSM swag out to
people. I guess I should have been more clear. I totally would not have
suggested we get swag and mail it to people if I wasn't willing to do the

to localize the document for a US audience. I'd be happy to take a crack at

Jim, perhaps we should consider eventually posting softcopy with GeoBus
