+1. Ben Russell was a very original and visionary early thinker in the field of "locative technology", and definitely someone to talk to. You might also talk to his collaborators on the Headmap Project, like Dav Yaginuma and Anselm Hook (whom I think someone else already mentioned). In a similar vein, Mike Liebhold, who gave the opening keynote at this year's Where 2.0, has been around for a lot of the history of *and* foreseen, I think, a lot of the future of digital location... Finally, Jo Walsh's mudlondon project was the first effort I can recall coming across that tried to bridge the shocking lack of public geodata across the world by leveraging the efforts of individuals. mudlondon opened my eyes in a big way to the (still unrealized) possibilities in collaborative cartography.
