GeoWeb and Autodesk

OK, well the title might be sexier than the content, but I thought I’d finally get around to linking to Sean Gorman’s blog post about a conversation we had about the GeoWeb. I was just listening to his interview on the VerySpatial podcast and it really is amazing how far we’ve come in a year. To say I had little faith in these projects/companies (WeoGeo, FortiusOne, Pleiades, OpenStreetMap among others), is an understatement, but they are really proving that if you give people a platform to collaborate and share data, they’ll do really amazing things. I’m so excited to see where we end up in the next year. Good thing for the disclaimer at the bottom of my blog sidebar!

And the Autodesk reference? This afternoon Shaan Hurley from Autodesk stopped by the RSP Architects studio space in Tempe. Shaan and I have emailed each other for the past few years and it was great to finally meet him in person and show him around the studio space. It was a shame we weren’t able to spend more time, but since he makes it down to Arizona often, I’m sure I’ll be seeing him again really soon.

    Is there a good article/blog post etc someone can suggest with a more detailed summary about where we were a year ago and were we are today?

    Thanks

    James,

    It was a pleasure talking with you and your team. I wont detail it, but think you and RSP are innovative thinking and wish you all the best of success and would be happy to assist when you need.

    I hope to get back down to Tempe again and see how things progress, very soon.

    Cheers, Shaan
