New email list for geoweb researchers: geoweb-r

[Alan McConchie]

Hello grassrootsmappers,

Hopefully you will find this of interest.

"geoweb-r" is a new email list for academic researchers who work at the intersection of spatial data and social media (what we call the geospatial web or geoweb). The list will provide a forum for critical discussion and announcements related to the geospatial web, "Volunteered Geographic Information", crowdsourced cartography, and similar topics. Obviously, there is quite a lot of overlap here with the activities of PLOTS. 

We intend to use this list for the usual content of academic mailing lists: CFPs, job postings, etc. We will also have longer form discussions as a complement to our bi-weekly twitter chats that occur the hashtag #geowebchat (http://mappingmashups.net/geowebchat).

Here is the link to the mailing list:

Please forward this link to anyone who might be interested.

Thanks!
