Thought I'd pass along a quick recap (nothing definitive) from our FOG Camp... 

We had 5 speakers make low tech (white board only) presentations for 10 mins 
each and had time to mingle/drink. I posted some pics on flickr tagged with 
"geowankinglive." Add you own! About 25 people showed up, both posters and 
lurkers. 

*Chris Wilson - 97% street centerline accuracy isn't good enough--using in 
vehicle probes can we achieve significantly greater accuracy and save lives 
(this is a federal effort). What can our community do with this data? What 
needs to happen for it to be viable? 
*Anselm Hook - Geocontent aggregation (www.placedb.org). 
*Brady Forrest - Talked about where Where2.2 is going this year 
*Tim Foresman - Discussed upcoming I nternational Symposium on Digital Earth 
*Tim Caro-Bruce - a9's efforts to capture drive-by photos of 14m storefronts. 

Ok, not quite summaries, but others can better comment about respective 
presentations... 

Also, some geoevent news for those in the SF area--we will be overtaken by 
geoconferences next Spring!! 

*CalGIS (April 4-7, Oakland) 
*Location Intelligence (April 16-18, San Francisco) 
*Where2.2 (May 29-30, San Jose) 
*International Symposium on Digital Earth (June 5-9, Berkeley)
