I got the opportunity to present at Ignite: Spatial, Boston a couple weeks ago. I was fortunate to present Sourcemap.org in the company of other Boston area techies doing some cool work in laser scanning, CityML, social media and more.
All the videos are on YouTube. The presentation summaries are also online in this Google Doc.
Enjoy your spatial ignition this morning.

I won’t get into what sourcemap is (that’s already been done), but I thought it would be cool to mention some of the technical challenges that the project was/is facing, and what we’re doing about it.
