Hej talk-dk. Måske nogle her (udover Søren Johannesen som allerede er involveret) kunne være interesseret i at få dette geo-event til at ske?

(More details below, but a question first ) But,*we need to know how many people would be interested i coming,* and how many might be interested in contributing to make the event happen ( more on the latter below too ). There'll be tracks on different aspects of open geo/map data, as well as workshops. *PLEASE fill in the doodle poll below,* mentioning whether you might be interested in coming, as well as whether you might consider coming and paying a small fee to cover some basic costs. http://doodle.com/poll/75su2kut2thkzddd PLEASE answer as soon as possible - the poll closes on Sunday. *Longer version : * Some open people have voiced interest in having an open map data event, and we've some preliminary interest from people who'd like to run workshops and whatnot. Kartverket, the mapping authority of Norway, the main organiser of Hack4No, has said they could be interested in hosting a open map&geo data event in parallel with Hack4No. This is really nice of Kartverket, but to make it happen, we need to know how many people could be interested in coming, and whether they'd consider paying some small fee to cover some basic costs. *Longer version - part Two* If enough people are interested in attending, the next steps would be to organise some tracks for the event. There's an academic/education, business, civil society, etc… side to open map & geo data. it'd be great to have an open call, get suggestions for content, and organise these different tracks. ( We've already had some offers from the kind folks at Wikipedia, as well as some others like Søren Johanssen, to run workshops on new wikipedia mapping features, as well as open source mapping tools. ( Of course, depending on how things go, it might or might not be possible to run the workshops, but at least the will is there )). I hope there's sufficient interest, and that we can proceed with organising the event!
