BTW, I'm reasonably sure I could get space in Sunnyvale or Santa
Clara from my employer for a south bay confab, as well.

where2.x is great for large(r) industry people looking to get
things done, but there's clearly value in .alt(ernative) venues. a
euro-wide geowanking confab sounds like a swell idea to me, but of
course it won't attract the same crowd.

Subject: [Geowanking] Probe for interest: alternative geo
conference, London, this summer?
Evan Prodromou asked me the other day on #geo (irc.oftc.net) whether
I'd be attending Where 2.0 this year. I had to answer no, because it's
not only on the other side of the world from me - I'm in London - but
also the registration cost is way more than I can afford. The cynic in
me might comment that with a price of $1100-$1500, saying the
conference is for "activists and community organizers building tools
for managing non-profit location groups" is a bit rich - ho ho.
Evan suggested holding an alternative, BarCamp/WikiSym-like event in
London. This could be a good chance for UK/Euro geohackers to get
together and do the knowledge sharing thing. Do people on this list
think they'd be interested in coming to such a happening?
Cheers,
Earle
