[Geowanking] Opening up the map

[Peter Ferne]

Hi all

My latest article has just been published on the NESTA Futurelab  
website.

   Opening up the map

   Open services are bringing mapping into the mainstream;
   all it needs now is open data, argues Peter Ferne.

It includes a link to the open geodata pledge - http:// 
www.pledgebank.com/geodata - so hopefully we'll get those last three  
signatories.

I've also started compiling a list of geospatial resources to support  
the article. Do let me know if you have anything to add, I'm sure  
there are lots of gaping holes.  For a start I haven't added the  
conferences that were posted here the other day.

Perhaps I could mirror it to Steve's geoblogz.
