I have it on authority that at least four BabelHeads will be at WhereCamp this weekend at the GooglePlex in Mountain View, CA. I will be one of those. http://wherecamp.pbwiki.com/ I have it on an even stronger authority that several hundreds of GPSBabel users (whether they know it or not) will convene in Sacramento, CA (Ok, Wheaton) for GeoWoodstock 6 on Memorial Day weekend. http://www.geowoodstockvi.com/ I will be one of those, too - in fact, I think I'll be one of only about a half dozen that has attended all six Geowoodstocks. I will probably even show up at Google I/O the following week. This it is the time of year for geolocationial technology stuff. None of those are particularly near L.A., but I also don't pretend to be the most interesting (GPS)Babel-head. Perhaps there's a GPSBabel user that's closer to you that's even more interesting. So far, GPSBabel popularity hasn't approached flash mob or Mylie Cyrus stages, so conferences are limited. RJL (Random Trivia: The Chief GPSBabel Head, his wife, and kid, while on a tandem bike pulling a trailer, were actually thrown off Mylie's dad's property some years ago becuase the family were biking through rural middle TN and picked a nice yard to hang out in - within 12 feet of the road - and have some cookies and a stretch break. I'll say only that at the time, Mylie would have been in diapers and Billie Ray's One Hit was just a random source of a nicely mowed easement to us...) |
