Dear all,
anyone in the Toronto area and interested in the following workshop on
mapping/borders/states is most welcome (I don't intend to exclude people
from further away, of course - you're welcome, too). It would be great
if anyone intending to come could drop me a line so that we know how
many people to expect.
Cheers,
Uli
