Web 2.0 Mapping and Social Networks Meetup Group

The Web 2.0 Mapping and Social Networks Group Meetup.com group is about sharing, teaching, learning, and networking around current and future web-based geospatial and social networking applications and technology. The group meets regularly on the third Tuesday evening of every month at Google in Silicon Valley, California. For two hours we build fellowship around web 2.0, mapping apps and tech, GIS, LBS, imaging, social networking opportunities, and other related goodies. Presentations run the gamut of our community: from hardware to web-based applications, hackers to scientists, start-ups to billion-dollar companies. Most of all this Meetup is an opportunity for people who spend a lot of time facing screens, to face each other and talk about what flies and fails in geospatial tech. Back Five Productions and Endpoint Environmental LLC are the producers of the Web 2.0 Mapping and Social Networks Meetup Group.

Towards a Global Licensing Framework for Geospatial Data

Is it time for a global licensing framework for geospatial data? The GSDI Legal and Economic Working group thinks so and offered a presentation and a way forward at the GSDI 13 conference held in Quebec City in May. The effort aims to harmonize existing licensing without changing fundamental access policies and funding models and be compatible with the diferences in national legal systems. That's a tall order, but an important one as the world moves toward geodata sharing. Geoff Zeiss reports.
