Cory Doctorow: The Open Knowledge Forums are a series of lectures and panel discussions about the ways that "open knowledge" can benefit the public interest. The next one is a week away, in London, and it's about a plan to produce a set of public domain maps of London (London's maps were produced at tax-payer expense, but can't be freely used; rather, you have to pay the ordinance survey thousands of pounds for the privilege; by contrast, US government maps are free and plentiful, and form the basis for thousands and thousand of competing mapping efforts, from Michelin guides to Google Maps).

There are a number of interesting proposals for this, including deploying an army of GPS-wielding geohackers, and buying up Russian satellite photos of London. Check out this squib from last January's NTK:

London's geowanking fraternity have come up with an intriguing proposition. With a grand's worth of Russian 1-meter resolution satellite pics, they believe they can stitch together an entirely free, redistributable vector database of the capital, freed from the shackles of the Ordnance Survey's restrictive copyrights, and thus open to all manner of GPL-style repurposing.

Here are the details:

* When: Thurs April 14th 2005, 7-9pm

* Where: Stanhope Centre, Marble Arch, London. [WWW]Directions

* Who can attend: public. Registration is optional but useful so please notify us if you can via okforums-info@okfn.org.

* Speakers: Steve Coast of openstreetmap.org; Roger Longhorn (geodata policy expert); Giles Lane of urbantapestries.net; Jo Walsh of mappinghacks.com

Swim, Katie, Swim! From the Hike With Your Dog site comes the story of Katie, a water-loving dog who is on a quest (well, maybe it is her owner's quest) to swim in "all the great waters of North America." The quest started on her way home from the kennel in September 1998, and continues to this day. From the Atlantic Ocean to the Yampa River, this animal has done some serious doggy paddling.

David Akin, a Canadian tech journalist, blogs a tip he's gotten on the Olympics barring atheletes from blogging the games:

A colleague who knows a Canadian athlete writes to tell me that the athlete has been told there is no blogging once you're at the Olympics and staying in Olympic village. Apparently it's against the "media rules" there. Anyone have any more info on this? What are the rules? How are they enforced? What are the sanctions?

Biz sez, "Scott Goldblatt is on the USA Olympic Swim Team and he asked around about blogging being banned. Canada, it seems, is banning blogs but the word he got from the USA officials is that he can go ahead with the blogs, as long as he doesn't "move into the territory of journalism." He's got a detailed post on his site." Link (Thanks, Biz!)

As they were coming down the street I told my 5 yr old to go stand in the road so I could take his picture with them. As you can see from the photo, a couple of Storm Troopers got out of formation to pose for the picture. My 2 year old was scared to death and ran to Mom. I kept telling my 5 year old not to be scared and to stand still. The look on my boys face, priceless. Fun was had by all." 129K JPEG Link (Thanks, innkeeper2097!)
