Fellow Wankers: I apologize for the short time frame... an abstract is due by Sunday (but it's just 200 words).
I am leading a workshop jointly organized by the ICA Maps and the Internet Commission and the ICA Open Source Commission. The intent of the workshop is to produce a scholarly volume on Online Maps and APIs. It would be really beneficial to see content from people who aren't embedded in academia, especially relating to actual API design issues in OpenStreetMap as well as the gritty aspects of Crisis Mapping. Official details follow: The annual meeting of the Maps and the Internet Commission will take place November 19, 2010 in Orlando, Florida, in association with AutoCarto 2010. More information about this meeting can be obtained at: http://orlando2010.eventbrite.com/ If you plan to attend, please reserve a space on the eventbrite site. *A 200-word abstract is due August 1.* <http://orlando2010.eventbrite.com/> *Other deadlines:* *August 30, 2010*: Notification of abstract acceptance. *October 15, 2010*: Submission of final 5000 word paper. *November 19, 2010*: Presentation of paper at symposium. *January 15, 2011*: Final submission of chapter for book. The focus of this meeting with be on Online Maps with APIs and Webservices and papers will appear in planned book to be published in 2011. The Internet has been a major form of map delivery since the introduction of Mosaic, the first multimedia browser, in 1993. This symposium will examine current and future developments in Application Programmer Interfaces (APIs) for mapping and MapServices in general, including Google Maps API and similar services. The specific purpose of the meeting is to propose chapters for a new book to be published in 2011 by the Maps and the Internet Commission along with the Working Group on Open Source Geospatial Technologies of the International Cartographic Association. The symposium is scheduled at the end of the AutoCarto 2010 meeting in Orlando, Florida - http://www.cartogis.org/autocarto . AutoCarto 2010 will take place November 15-18, 2010. Prof. Michael P.
