"I know we [people who are not the majority] are out there, but how do I find them. How do I find people like me, and people not like me, and have them speak?"
Gala, the #geomob Edinburgh organiser talking about #OpenStreetMap diversity at @sotmeu and how the lack of diversity affects what has been mapped. #sotmeu25
Next week is our next Geomob Belgium 🇧🇪 Tuesday, Nov 18th in Antwerp!
Don't forget to register: https://tally.so/r/318ZxQ
We have an excellent line-up of speakers and the location in Antwerp is not far from the central station so no excuses not to join us!

The next Geomob in Barcelona confirmed for Wednesday, December 3 at 1800 at Coworkidea. Sign up as a speaker and present your project, or come to find out what is being done around the world #geomob
@ultrazool Glad it went well! Friendly faces, but also an audience of experts. #Geomob keeps speakers on their toes.
Tonight is #geomob, featuring a talk about OSMUK from one of its directors, Steve Karmeinsky. Get signed up to attend here: https://thegeomob.com/post/june-18th-2025-geomoblon-details

Ready for my second Geomob Berlin #geomob #geomobber #geomobldnresident
Now that Geomob North America is a thing, I will pre-follow the #geomobYYZ hashtag to hear about when it comes to Toronto. #geomob #mapping /cc @geomob
Rolling north on a CrossCountry DMU from Bristol to Edinburgh for tonight's Geomob—always a highlight for map nerds like me. Today's train is a nine-car set: a Class 220 Voyager coupled with a Class 221 SuperVoyager, working well together.
Early start (06:36 from Bristol), but worth it for £16 first class upgrade and a window seat. Train Wi-Fi was hopeless, so I switched to 5G. It was raining when I cycled to the station, but now the sun’s out and skies are blue.
Looking forward to talks about maps this evening—my third Geomob Edinburgh! Staying just one night, then a Wikimedia meetup tomorrow before heading home.

In today's #GeoMob in Lisbon my introduction to Discrete Global Grid Systems was elected as best presentation.
I am grateful to the organisers and the participants. But this wouldnt have happened without the work from those that for over thirty years have been pushing #DGGS ever closer to the end user. I stand on the shoulders of giants.
The prize was a fine copy of this historical map, "Portugal laying down", in which West is up.
@geomob our diverse lineup speakers will cover topics such as the GIS of the future and map generation with LLMs. Register here: https://thegeomob.com/post/march-19th-2025-geomoblx-details #geomob #geomoblx
@milhaud @stevenfeldman Would you like to come on the #Geomob podcast? Would be fun to talk
We still have room for one last speaker at #geomobLX 🙂 If you are in Lisbon on March 19, and would not mind sharing some cool geo project with a bunch of geo enthusiasts, just ping me! You could end up winning an old map of Portugal https://thegeomob.com/post/march-19th-2025-geomoblx-details #geomob #meetup #geobeers
#Berlin geo folks 🤓 See you on Wednesday the 12th of February at #Geomob? 🌍✨
Yesterday, I attended Geomob London for an evening of fascinating talks about maps. As always, the talks were excellent. The event was hosted at Geovation in Clerkenwell, where, rather unexpectedly, they had cavolo nero and bok choy growing in the reception.

Tomorrow night it's #geomob !
Also we've just set up the next OpenStreetMap social pub meet-up. Join us next Tuesday. 7pm in the Monkey Puzzle, Paddington:

đźš‚ All aboard for an obscure rail adventure!
Today, I’m embarking on a rather unusual train journey from Bristol to Brussels for FOSDEM 2025 (1st-2nd Feb, Brussels)—the legendary free software conference. But instead of the usual Bristol > London > Brussels route, I’m taking the scenic (and slightly eccentric) path via Cambridge and London. Why? Because trains.
Here’s the fun bit: there’s a single daily train that runs directly from Bristol Temple Meads to Cambridge, and I’ve been itching to try it for years. It's a three-car Class 170 Turbostar that departs Bristol at 06:25 and rolls into Cambridge at 11:08. No changes, no Tube dashes between London terminals—just a rare, direct cross-country route. It’s the kind of obscure rail journey that makes my inner transport geek very happy.
The catch? It’s not exactly the quickest way to Cambridge (most people would change in London), and there’s no return service. But who cares when you’re ticking off a long-awaited rail oddity? To make it even better, I snagged a bargain by splitting my ticket at Worcestershire Parkway—because why not make it a little more complicated?
After two nights in Cambridge, I’ll head to London for Geomob London on Thursday evening—always a brilliant night for geo-nerds. Then, it's onwards to Brussels on Friday, ready for FOSDEM.
Speaking of FOSDEM, I’ll be running the Geospatial devroom on Saturday morning, featuring nine talks all about maps. If you’re into geospatial tech, open source, or just love maps, come along—it's going to be a great session.
So, here's to obscure train routes, split tickets, and the joy of combining travel quirks with tech conferences.

Heads-up to all speakers at #geomobLON on 30 January. The venue at Geovation Hub doesn't have banked seating, which means visibility can be limited. To ensure everyone in your audience can see your slides clearly, best to place key content in the top half of your slides. I'm looking forward to some great talks!
