Ordinance Survey - the last talk from Ian Holt was - intriguingly amusing. The last organization I expected here was Ordinance Survey from the UK. They have been universally panned by most of the Where 2.0 generation of geospatial technologists. The primary reason being that OS refuses to let anyone use their mapping data without their collecting a license fee. I guess they are trying to improve their image because they came here saying they will be offering an "open source" project. Only it wasn't clear how this would change anything. Ian demonstrated an application which amusingly lets you compare the OS data to "other" maps (specifically Google Maps) to show how the OS data is so much better. For those of you who don't know, a former OS technologist named Ed Parsons left there and is now one of the top dogs on the Google Geo team.I guess the Ordinance Survey is our National Mapping Agency. What a poorly informed and condescending piece - "the Where 2.0 generation of geospatial technologists" yuck.
I wonder if Ed Parsons relishes his ascension from the depths of an "OS technologist" (CTO, I thought) to the stellar heights of a " top dog on the Google Geo team"

Stephen,
You need to go home a bit earlier on a Friday!!
So cut Frank some slack, he was there and that was his opinion.. Frank is very well respected in the community of Google Earth users, so as you say mutural respect is indeed required.
As for his opinion of the OS, I'm sure it would be shared by 95% of the people at Where 2.0.
I think Ian Holt is a great great guy, indeed I gave him at Job at the OS, but the OpenSpace project was just too late and is not really relevant anymore.
A real missed opportunity, no fault of Ian, rather the misguided management at OS who did not, still do not ? value the type of people who attend meetings like Where 2.0 and what they can achieve.
Fair enough Ed.
I still think the comment is a bit condescending but no offense meant to Frank.
The core topic of the post that OS don't want to make their data available for free is way off target IMHO - neither do Tele Atlas who have just signed a long term agreement with Google. If your revenue model is based on selling your data products then you probably aren't going to give them away regardless of what the Where 2.0 generation think.
So the issue should be about changing the business model for OS to one that would make their data more widely available. And on that I think we are broadly in agreement.
Cheers
