Thank you all for having me out, I’m excited to speak on the theme of this conference, the Spatially Enabled Society I come from a background in open source software, and have been working sort of from the grass roots towards a spatially enabled society - having geospatial information just be a substrate on which everything else is built, a public infrastructure like the internet But I’ve always felt that there’s only so far the grass roots can go, and indeed the software I’ve built has all been about helping governments share their existing information. The goal I’ve been working towards is cooperation between all - government, ngo, commercial and citizen, so it’s great to have this opportunity to talk to you all about where I’m coming from, and I imagine to learn far more about your perspectives. The true spatially enabled society is only going to come from everyone cooperating. So I’m hoping to get across some of what I’ve learned in my years making OS software We buy our spaghetti from tratori not mcdonalds. But our children prefer coca cola
