Page: http://okfn.org/geo/minifesto/ gives me error.. can't open it.. http://www.pledgebank.com/geodata#comment_3500 Google Earth has set the cat amongst the pigeons on this topic, I think. 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 http://www.pledgebank.com/geodata#comment_3198 If this pledge succeeds, what will we do with the contributions? 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.
