Writes Margery Conner:

I spent the past two days at Where 2.0 in San Jose, CA, which is an O’Reilly conference devoted to trends in geospatial data rendering and interaction with this data. The audience/customer for geospatial data and interaction can be roughly described as people saying, “I need to make a map of something.” Their data has more meaning - or only has meaning - when you know its location.
