car-pooling from Sacramento?
anyone heading down to where camp sunday morning from the Davis / Sacramento area?
Alan Caplan:
I can give you a ride back to Davis on Sunday night, if you need it.
Dylan:
Thanks for the offer Alan. I decided to take the weekend off. Maybe next year I will make it out to Where Camp. Cheers.
Brian Hamlin:
sorry to miss you Dylan - catch you later

I'm not sure if it's the same in Australia, but from our experiences here, you're right that agents are very restrictive with information in order to make sure the people come to them when looking for a house. But, often the lack of pictures is simply because of technophobia, or technical inability.
The problem is, that ultimately the consumer suffers for that.
We should talk. I'm here at where camp right now. Look for me. Or call me 909-754-3941.
Also, check out what we've done so far: HouseFLIX.com
Hope to see you around.

GPS Units for WhereCamp
I'll be bringing a dozen or so Garmin Colorado GPS devices (300 and 400t).
If anyone is interested a demonstration of Wherigo I can set up a session - both to try out the player experience and open up the hood to see what you can build with Lua script. Otherwise the devices can output GPX and can be used in various WhereCamp projects. Ping me if you have any ideas.
Chaitanya Kuber:
Definitely interested in hearing your ideas and thoughts. Would love to discuss real time location tracking and reporting at the camp.
Jesús Zamorano:
Count me in Jeremy..thanks!
Jeremy Irish:
Cool! I'll also mention that there are plenty of caches nearby if anyone wants to go on a hunt sometime during the weekend.

Here's my proposal for a session, or maybe a thread of sessions (?)
- from open maps to open spaces-
The world is getting really good at making and using 2D maps. Let's get up off these 2d planes of thinking!! I propose launching a serious effort to develop common open coding for 3D realspace!
What do I mean: 3D map views and spatial applications that are useful very near-field to use 3D geocoded data and media

Mikel Maron:
The GPS traces collected on OpenStreetMap store 3D, GPS Elevation, but there's no use of them presently. Maybe we could look at creating crowd sourced DEMs...
Dylan:
Tried that before... you get a REALLY noisy surface. Might work if you smoothed the data and were happy with +- 5m vertical precision.
mike liebhold:
@wherecamp sorry can't be there to work on 3d geo after all. pre-empted by prior commitment for fun time with grandchildren 3 & 5, and now too , the passing of a close friend yesterday
Please have 3Dgeohacking fun!!

I totally agree with your comments on how online RE should work. In Australia things really suck. You get a couple of pictures and that's it. I just wonder who benefits from the current state of things. Maybe owners/realtors do want to (selectively) show as little as possible of the property to force potential buyers to inspect? Or maybe it is the RE sites that charge too much for additional pictures?

Where 2.0
Conference was a blast. Totally energized after hearing from many great thinkers.
Talks on and about Freebase, MapuFacture, OSM and Flickr were some that really caught my eye and got my brain cells ticking.
Looking forward to WhereCamp and the oppurtunity to discuss and hack away some thoughts form the conference.

Unconference Topic: Mapping and User Interfaces
Hello all,
I'm looking at setting up a presentation on map based user interfaces. I work at Orbitz.com and as a UI Engineer I have been doing a decent amount of work on map based solutions and user interactions.
We've learned a lot from our prototypes, usability tests, etc. on effective ways to for a web user to perform searches and sort through data through a map and I'm hoping to share that with you all.
Leave a comment if you'd be...... [read more]
Sean Gorman:
Agreed we've been spending a lot of time looking at what cartographic approaches we can port over to the GeoWeb and what technologies are best for rendering them. Would make for a great discussion.
richard george abas:
count me in. We have an idea seeking some great visualization!
Joe Monahan:
Thanks everyone for the positive feedback. Looks like I better step up my presentation :)
I'll definitely be attending the unconference and presenting on this topic. I look forward to sharing what I've learned with all of you. I especially like the idea of a discussion of cartographic approaches (which I'm probably not too familiar with) to a UI compared to the web site UI approaches.
If there's any questions or topics you'd like me to research/present on, feel free to leave them here.

Camping at the Googleplex
I heard a rumor that there will overnight camping at the Googleplex. Anyone have confirmation and/or details?
jason wilson:
hope so
Andrew Turner:
There will be camping. Check out Ryan's update of the Wiki: http://wherecamp.pbwiki.com/WhereCamp2008
and also on his post on the Yahoo Group.
Ryan Sarver:
Also follow "wherecamp" on twitter for updates that Anselm posts there. Sorry for the distributed news -- but we need to make you work for it a bit :)

where camp schedule
Here where can I get a schedule of wherecamp?
Andrew Turner:
There isn't a schedule until the morning of the first day of WhereCamp. This is the unconference/barcamp style. Attendees become presenters and join the discussion.
You can expect a very wide range of topics: open-data, geolocation api's, mapping software, hardware hacking, etc.
And if you have a specific topic you want to hear about, ask for it. Or if you have a topic you want to share, post that you'll be talking about it.

I probably should have done that first comment as a private message. Luckily, it wasn't all that private to begin with. :-)
