I’m a contributor to the UPCT project whose goal is to produce free geographical data, aka free maps of the world.
I try to collect GPS data whenever I travel, and so did I for my recent trip to Genova to attend OSS2005. I’ve been able to record a track of the flight between Paris and Genova (above Mt Blanc : nice view… too bas I didn’t take a GPS point… nor did I make a picture) and of my wanderings in Genova city.
UPCT is a very interesting project, which may be in the future something as interesting as wikipedia… who knows…
If you are interested in finding out about UPCT, you may have difficulties in finding elements in English, but at least you will find a description in this article.
Salut Olivier!
I did the same trip you did (Paris-Genova-Paris), and attended the same meeting. Even though we did not meet there, I did meet some of your colleagues of the Calibre project because they happened to be at the right place, at the right time (the coolest disco in town, 2 a.m.) 🙂
I also saw the Mont Blanc and I took a picture that I’m sharing with you: http://villate.org/photos/alps.jpg
Cheers,
Jaime
Too bad we didn’t meet there 🙁
I unfortunately didn’t go to the discos with the spanish team (I suppose it was with them ;)… I’m probably getting old 😉
See you next time.
