Conference
or, How to Improve your Conference Experience by 32.7% in 30 seconds
Wear your conference badge or name tag up higher, as close to your eye level as you can. I prefer to clip my name tag to my collar, rather than allow it to hang on a lanyard.
This makes it easier for other attendees to see your name and approach you.
Imports
Imports often create a mess through technical or social failures. Aerial imagery is also imperfect due to age, alignment, distortion, etc. but has fewer negative impacts on the map.
How can we start to approach Outside Data Sources not as potential imports, but as potential background imagery layers?

Standing for the Board (2008)
I'm standing for election as a board member at large for the OpenStreetMap Foundation. I'd like to share my enthusiasm for OSM by helping wherever I can.
Update: I didn't get enough votes to be elected to the board for 2008-2009. The current board is wonderful and I have had the honour of serving on sub-committees and helping out once in a while.
