Introduction: Andrew Turner, Neogeographer
Hi, I'm Andrew Turner. I'll be attending the NetSquared conference and I'd like to introduce myself.
I'm the co-founder of Mapufacture, an application that makes it easy to host and share geospatial data and for users to build collaborative maps. I also develop open-source tools for publishing and using geodata, including blog plugins like GeoPress and the Mapstraction mapping library.
I'm the technical advisor to the City of New Orleans mashup. I've been incredible fortunate to work with a great group that is already doing a lot of work to create and integrate data from a number of partner organizations. I've just been helping advise on the various places to glue bits together and help make the data readily available.
Looking over the featured projects it is apparent that geospatial technology underlies many of the goals of all the teams. I'm hoping we can help out other projects with technical expertise and information.

Maps
Andrew, as a fellow map developer, I'm really looking forward to talking with you at the conference, and maybe in the hack room. Our project Your Mapper is based around maps, and I love what you've done with both Mapufacture and Mapstraction.
