Harry Wood's diary

Old videos from SOTM 2008

I was just watching an old talk by Ed Parsons from the State Of The Map 2008 (over a year ago in Limerick) in which he makes his excuses for Google's launch of MapMaker (clearly evil) and for some of google's other less open geo strategies. He talks a bit about aerial imagery. At topic which has resurfaced recently. There's a joking comment about the lack of "field work" mapping the Caribbean, which lead on to great things, and various other funny moments I'd forgotten about. Likewise Steve's keynote was a good one to remind myself of what's moved on since then, and what hasn't. Andy's gradually adding more videos listed here

In other news, I've scheduled the next London mapping party in Paddington next Tuesday featuring a cake of many flavours:

Before that there's a Basildon Mapping Party (quick train hop out to Essex) this weekend.

But if you want an armchair mapping challenge this weekend, check out the latest duplicate nodes display!
