More details
Jo Walsh is writing a collaborative minifesto for open geospatial information here http://okfn.org/geo/minifesto.html
The idea of this pledge is to support that both in spirit and hard currency.

Suggested pledges
Some of the people who signed this pledge also signed these pledges...
During the World Summit on Free Information Infrastructures (http://www.wsfii.org/ , 28th Sept-2 Oct)
we're holding an Open Geodata workshop, bringing together as many developers as we can who are interested in working on OpenStreetmap.org, interfaces to it, and related free mapping projects.
http://okfn.org/wsfii/wiki/OpenGeodata
Some of these funds would go towards supporting the attendees - buying food and possibly helping with travel expenses for those in need.
The rest we'd put towards a hardware pool, and buy several GPS units and cable, which can be used during the workshop and after that for special projects, intensively mapping areas of London which aren't yet filled in on OpenStreetmap.
For those living or working in Wales that have signed this pledge, the AGI Cymru Annual Conference takes place this year on 8th December in Cardiff. See you there if you can make it.
Best wishes to all, Terry
