Just noticed this gem on Mike Smith's blog: OS Trumped
Fri, 29 Aug 2008 Just returned from a pleasant day at the RGS-IBG annual conference. An event well worth attending as its mellow and covers a range of subjects. However it is largely colonised by human geographers, a strange breed. Thats not for want of the RGS trying to get physical geographers involved... Time will tell. Anyway the OS are one the of the primary (platinum?!) sponsors of the RGS (along with Land Rover and Rolex from memory). So the map of the venue, and how to get to it, prominantly displayed on the back cover of the abstracts naturally used Open Street Map data. Nice one! From: http://www.journalofmaps.com/cgi-bin/blosxom.cgi/meetings/OSM_map.html Nice one indeed ....
