[Geowanking] Open Source Geoparsing Lib

[Tyler Bell]

For the geoparsing enthusiasts out there (both of you): Pete Warden
has released 'Geodict', a Py, client-side, open-source tool for
geoparsing http://bit.ly/d8XsaE  Not looked at it yet.

Re: [Geowanking] 1:1 scale mapping

[Tyler Bell]

Under this header do not neglect the scene in 'Blackadder Goes Forth'
in which Blackadder, Darling, and Melchett are viewing what appears to
be a small, tabletop model of the territory captured the previous day:

And what is the scale of this, Capt. Darling?

(Darling measures with tape)

One to one, sir

[Geowanking] UK government database of all 1, 841, 177 post codes together with precise geographic coordinates and other information, 8 Jul 2009

Listmembers are probably aware that the UK postcode database has been
posted on Wikileaks:

It will be extremely interesting to see how this one plays out.

How about the Thursday night and Friday? No one needs change tix, and
the buzz follows.

 What about Fri  Sat? That way weekend people can make it on Friday, but not
 saturday? Or a Tuesday  Friday - so hug Where2.0? :)

 Otherwise, it seems like we'll be holding two WhereCamps, or camp-like
 events. Based on schedules, demands, flights, there won't be a way to
 accommodate everyone's schedule.

 Personally, I will be attending my sister's college graduation the weekend
 before Where2.0.

  I haven't been giving this the attention it needs.
 
  I will definitely look at seeing if I can get space for the previous
  weekend as well.
 
  I would like to have a crowd of people of diverse interests, not just
  geeks but moms and the like.
 
  A bit busy to due a product launch - but will try to pay more
  attention to it shortly.

   I think you are dismissing the Memorial Day overlap too readily lads;
   forcing this the weekend following Where 2.0 really slams all
   g'wankers over 30 who live with their families (not including those
   still living with their parents).  Simply put: this is a family
   weekend, and you will be forcing most folks to make an extremely
   unfortunate choice.
