For anyone working in web development with an interest in Geo/Mobile/Social applications.
2009 looks set to be geo’s breakout year with Trendwatching.com identifying maps and geo as a key emergent area, with Yahoo!, Google and Microsoft all continuing to see the importance and relevance of location and place and a whole host of new startups and established players continuing to drive all things geo forward and even more into the public’s attention and perception.
The development of the grass roots geo community in London is following this trend; ably demonstrated by #geomob, the London geo and mobile developers meetup group.
Following on from the success of last year’s inaugural meetup, the first #geomob meetup of the year will be held in London on January 29th 2009. Yahoo! Geo Technologies are deeply chuffed to be associated with and to support this event.
The meme for this meetup will be exploring the connection between context, location and device and there will be three exciting and visionary speakers:
- The Google Geo team; at the last meetup Yahoo! Geo Technologies spoke at a Google supported event and it seems only fitting that we will now have Google speaking at a Yahoo! supported event.
- Andrew Scott, founder of rummble.com, the location based social search and discovery tool.
- Another exciting speaker from the location space whose identity will be revealed closer to the time.
The meetup will be chaired, overseen and pushed in the right direction by #geomob’s founder and organiser, Chris Osborne.
For this meetup we will be using the excellent facilities offered by Wallacespace, at 2 Dryden Street, Covent Garden, WC2E 9NA, kicking off at 6.00 PM with speakers starting at around 6.30 PM. Each speaker will present for around ten minutes leaving plenty of time for questions.
We’ll be providing free wifi access, plus drinks, snacks and nibbles and in addition to the Yahoo! Geo Technologies group, our colleagues at the Yahoo! Developer Network will be joining us and dispensing all manner of Yahoo! branded schwag to the audience.
Attendance at the meetup is free but numbers will be restricted to around 60, so please head over tohttp://gmdlondon.ning.com to register, RSVP and ensure your place.
Gary Gale, Head of UK Engineering, Yahoo! Geo Technologies
