Should be a great event for the Scottish Geomob community, but also a fantastic excuse to head north for a visit and enjoy the midnight sun. Hope you can join us.

Climate Action Map (for Southern Scotland): was built as an analytics tool, found they've actually built a communications tool.

@freyfogle and @stevenfeldman sit down after a busy two-week period which saw #geomobBER #geomobLON and #geomobEDI!

They discuss the quality of the talks, the role of sponsorship moving forward and hint at possible expansion plans into new cities, including a possible first event in North America!

wasn't really feeling the Joy of GeoSocialising but glad i made it out at all, enjoyed the talks, saw the #GeomobEdi usual suspects' faces, met @freyfogle in 3D!

Particularly interesting talk from a long-serving ambulance responder who now runs a startup on the side, doing emergency location assistance, based on all their long experience of pain points. So little love for W3W, a service for when you've abandoned hope!

The other talks were all right too i suppose ;p
