    • UTFGrids created by TileMill, TileStache (both Mapnik) python implementation perhaps coming

    • Continue technique of using Django to take applications on and offline
    • Tablets now - Windows 7 talet demo'ed
    • Attribute surveys
    • Mapping component (ExtJS, GeoEXT, OpenLayers...)
    • Bigger buttons, pinch zoom, swipe, digitize

    • Easier to do on a full blown OS and get access to computer as opposed to iOS or Android

More regular meeting business

    • Afternoon session will be smackdown - caches/servers: TileMill (Edwin), MapCache (), (Or: give afternoon time slot back, change title from ESRI+Open Source, Brian might have something, Dean ORTools...?) Update: depending on time slot, Dean can do ORTools. Dean is moderating for "Real-world GIS" so he is available.
    • GIS In Action table: Sign up with Jeremy, include some focus on Surveyors (gvSIG/Sextante), GPS/Mobile,
