The Society of Cartographers is hosting a public lecture (and debate) entitled 'Celebrating cartography'. It is on Friday 25 July at UCL in central London. The speaker is Ed Parsons, of Google and good friend of the Openstreetmap project. There was a profile of Ed in yesterday's Independent: http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/gadgets-and-tech/features/the-man-whos-making-google-maps-smarter-9544478.html However, he will not be talking about this Googly stuff. His brief is to review the last 50 years of cartography and its changes and their impact (plenty of OSM scope there). Afterwards there will a discussion panel, with myself, Ed and Gary Gale. It should be a great evening, followed by the obligatory relaxed geobeers afterwards. Details: http://soc.org.uk/ Booking is free and can be done at: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/celebrating-cartography-tickets-11696587809 Hope to see you there.
