How can COM.Geo [sic] be "a leading conference" when the first one is still six months in the future? [1] And the front page copy on the web site has such flowery text that I don't know whether to feel flush with gratefulness or grimace with bitterness at lost opportunity. Let's see -- "computing driven location based applications" have not revolutionized anything with the prominent exception of online mapping for finding directions, cloud computing is still hot air, and the hottest term of the 90s was not .com but sex, and still is so. As always, time will tell. -- Puneet Kishor ___ mapserver-users mailing list mapserver-users@lists.osgeo.org http://lists.osgeo.org/mailman/listinfo/mapserver-users

Hi Puneet, Glad to see you are still alive and kicking (hard). Do you still have the same good memories as I do of the real "leading conference" of this decennium? IMHO, time ***has*** already told ... http://mapserver.sara.nl/conferences/2003/mum/photos/group.jpg Cheers, Jan On 19-1-2010 6:34, P Kishor wrote: On Mon, Jan 18, 2010 at 10:02 PM, Andrew Clark wrote: COM.Geo 2010: Conference and Exhibition on Computing for Geospatial Research and Application (June 2010, Washington DC) http://www.com-geo.org Sounds nice, but...
