The Where 2.0 conference committee has a “Friend of Speaker” discount this year. Use the code “whr10fsp” to get 25% off. I’ll be talking about OGC’s climate change Plugfest on Wednesday April 1, and charging my fueling my creative juices throughout the week with the great group that comes to this event.

Who says Google doesn’t care about standards? When playing around with the RSS feed from Picasa Web Albums, I was pleasantly surprised to see full-blown GeoRSS GML for the geo-located items. In fact, they are recording both an Envelope and a Point for the photo. I don’t know where the Envelope comes from, because the UI only allows you to specify a point, but oh well.

<georss:where>
   <gml:Envelope>
      <gml:lowerCorner>42.4857087 -71.2902409</gml:lowerCorner>
      <gml:upperCorner>42.4984298 -71.265822</gml:upperCorner>
   </gml:Envelope>
   <gml:Point>
      <gml:pos>42.4920693 -71.2780315</gml:pos>
   </gml:Point>
</georss:where>

Now I’d just like to know why they are using RSS 2.0 with little bits of Atom sprinkled here and there…

I’ve posted some updates on GeoRSS use by twitter, weogeo, Geospatial One-Stop, and Adobe Air this year on the GeoRSS Weblog.
