London Geo Developer Meet-up
Sunday, September 21, 2008
Posted by Mano Marks, Geo APIs Team
Last Monday, 15 of us met in the Google Victoria offices for the first London Google Geo Developer Meet-up. The primary goal was to allow people to meet each other, and we certainly achieved that. A good time was had by all.
In addition, we had some brief presentations:
Tina Ornduff talked about Google Earth Education and her recent talks with educators in the UK. Some of the projects include
Digital Geography
,
Google Lit Trips
, and
Real World Math
Marc Tobias Metten gave an excellent presentation on how
Nestoria
uses Google Maps in their real estate site. It was interesting to hear not just about the map, but the difficulties in working with multiple data providers.
The ex-historian in me was intrigued by Phil Gyford's presentation on
Pepys' Diary
, his site tracking the diary of Samuel Pepys, a 17th century resident of London. Every day, Phil blogs a day of Pepys' diary, and includes links to resources about the various figures and locations in the diary, as well as providing
maps
of his daily activities.
I presented about the new
Google Earth API
, and showed some of the
example projects
.
Afterwards, we went to the
The Phoenix
for drinks and food.
Here's a couple of photos:
