David, 

I've been working on something (I think is interesting) with Linux Phones.  I 
have GeoMoose/Mapserver running on a phone as a standalone server, and can even 
print over bluetooth/wifi from the phone.   It's a little research project, but 
it's interesting to see that most things are simply a configuration exercise.  
Very little coding so far. 

I may play around with some OL interfaces as well, and/or add some gesture 
controls to GeoMoose. 

The general idea is to run the mapping locally (and in the background as much 
as possible) if the phone network goes away, and to sync with the home service 
if/when the network is available. 

I'm about 70% done, but it's a filler project and doesn't get a lot of 
dedicated focus, but I'm overdue on a report about it, so it needs to move 
along.

I am working on a presentation focused on, "What's New and Cool in OpenSource 
Geospatial" for a group of GIS professionals.  This group is most familiar with 
the proprietary ESRI stack, but there is a growing awareness and interest in 
OpenSource. 

My goal is to introduce people to cool projects or features, highlighting 
events and improvements from the past year.  I am thinking of categories 
including software, databases, community, and open data.

I would greatly appreciate any ideas that people have on new or noteworthy 
developments in OpenSource geospatial.  Think about new projects, new features, 
optimizations, events, use cases, etc.

Please feel free to email me off-list or just respond to this message.

Thank you very much,

David Fawcett
