Interviews and Awards

Interested in my prognostications on the world’s best cycle map or OpenStreetMap in general? Then check out the recent interview I had with Ed Freyfogle from Nestoria. And while you’re over there, check out Nestoria itself or even better their experimental OpenStreetMap version of Nestoria.

September 2008 was a pretty busy time for me, including speaking at the Society of Cartographer’s Annual conference (slides are online, although of dubious merit without the narration), and running a session on OpenStreetMap at FOSS4G in Cape Town. In amongst all that, I was interviewed by Peter Eich, but thankfully he was happy for me to stick to English!

It was also the month that I received two awards for my work on OpenCycleMap – the first, a Commendation from the British Cartographic Society (coverage over on the CloudMade blog), and additionally the prestigious “Lolcat of awesomeness” from OSM itself – technically I got a part share of the API0.6 award too, but who’s counting?

  3. The first 3 results on google of Stephen Jeapes, and the first 6 results for Steve Jeapes are either my pages or to do with me.

    Go Me ;-)

    I _may_ have a slight advantage over you surname-wise

  4. I ripped out the audio from the Youtube interview, so I could listen to it on my way home.

    I uploaded it here in case anyone else is interested – http://drop.io/lccg99k.
